I think the compression rod bushings can cause noises too. and they can are also a common point of failure.

Yep this too, BOTH front comp rod bushes have been replaced on my car it makes a bad creaking noise over bumps and some tight turns. I'd check all your bushes before you go changing to coil overs if thats the only reason why you were thinking of upgrading anyway

If your thinking about getting BC Coils make sure you get the BC BR True Style coils, they are the upgraded ones from the V1 and have stronger internals. I have just bought my self a set of those off Boostn Imports in brissy for $1199 delivered to my door.

ok so im planing to change my lower control arm bushings as well as my v35 is starting to bug me with the Creek noise. i seem to notice it as usual when going over a Bump or pothole but i took note that if i keep the brake on and while in drive or reverse if i give it just a little gas so that the car pushes the suspension up or down it creaks as well. here is a video someone filmed that is identical to my issue . im 90% sure this si from the bushels but should i change all or just the lower rear ones as most forums posts

    • 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.
