just to add a little to what Ben has already posted,

- none of the R32, R33 or R34 range shares the same part number.

- none of the S13, S14 or S15 range shares the same part number.

- A31 cefiro is also no good.

- Z32 300ZX no good either.

- autech stagea rear cradle number is 55400 - 0V600

i also check a few of the other jap nissans, like C34, C33, A32, Y34, Y33 etc and got no joy there either.

i wouldn't completely write them off though, the part numbers could just mean minor variations and not that they won't bolt up at all

if you have time, test some different ones out and let us know :P

this is an s15 rear cradle in a rwd s2 (i'd imagine cradle mounting points would be identicle on all wc34's so should fit them all)

s15cradle.jpg

they are meant to be ~50mm narrower than auto stag rear cradles (so similar width to 260rs cradle) but i'll get a mate to do some quick meausrements at his work if he has time (import wreckers) and post up what he finds between cradles if he can. keeping in mind a narrower cradle will need shorter half shafts and prob s14/15 swaybar too

like i said earlier, this is my own research so don't take my word - look into it yourself before you go buying anything. i plan to try out the s14/15 rear cradle for myself at the end of the year :laugh:

I sold a Stagea subframe to a guy wanting a wider track in a 180 (is that an S15?) so I would guess that an S15 would be no good. I suspect that any other Stagea subframe would do (pay to have a look and take a few measurements) but still vote for the weld/repair.

s15 is no good? the pic i posted up there IS an s15 subframe. the bloke you sold yours to would have needed offset bushes for the stag frame to bolt up to his s13 chassis, the same as you need when fitting an s14/15 frame into s13 (because s14/15 and wc34 have the same mounting points)

most of you would probably remember grant? here is his first hand experience of fitting an s14 subframe into his stagea http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...ng-t216144.html

this might help, little example first. off topic.

i have severe strut tower rust. i email a few restoration joints with pics, even went into a few, and they all said they couldn't help, but yet they deal with cars that have about 95%rust all over :P

then i took it to my stepfathers mates work shop. got him to have a look, bang gave me a set price for minor and worst case. . . and is happy to give it a crack. should be going in towards end of the month.

35yrs on the job and still going, must be doing a good job at that

he might be worth giving a ring, just to see if he would consider fixing a subframe.

thanks for everyone's help... Fortunately Chasers in West Melbourne did a great job and managed to repair the subframe on the car, saving me a whole heap of money and effort.

Car drives so much better now. Will still be fitting the new bilsteins and whiteline bushes when I get a chance though. :-)

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
