Hey all... another susp question. The fluid filled subframe bushes in my car are also shagged and i wanted to chuck some alloy lockers in there or replace the bushes in the subframe themself with something else? This sounds like a tedious task of pulling everything out :laugh:

I also have pinapples on the front to angle the diff cradle.. I would prefer to keep some sort of angling if i fit alloy locking collars.. can you do that?

Cheers

Simon

I have the pinapples in and was more than happy with the result when put between the sbframe and chassis at the front.But I will still use the lock disks to secure the rear bushes but not on the front.Should be interesting.

Yeah mix and match, rear you run the lock in between body and cradle, front run the lock that goes under the cradle and is held in by the retaining nut. Remmember to trim the little bead of rubber off the bush so that you can get the nut back on..... many forget :santa: Oh yeah if you do do this you will get a much better bite into the pineaples (less walk) we have no cradle movement at all without locks, but you must trim the beads off..

i just installed the super pineapples to CATS car last night which give an extra 3-4mm cradle angle... still chasing grip.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
