Hi Guys/gals

I'm in the process of trying to fit a set of pineapples to my car, we have undone the sub frame and tryed to fit the pineapples but they don't want to fit. Because of the overhang of the rubber bush that's part of the sub frame, am I able to cut the over hang off? with out effecting anything else. The pic I've attached pic of what I'm talking about and the yellow arrow is pointing to the rubber bit I'd like to remove if possible.

there are 2 parts to the set.. the uppers which have a slot cut in them and the lowers (smaller without the slot) you need to do them in sets.. ie. both front or both back ones. so for example both front ones. undo the nut all the way on one side and then loosen the nut on the other side.. this will allow your sub frame to drop at the front. slide the slotted one in.. flat side up.. then the lower one goes in the bottom.. tighten the nut on the other side first to raise the cradle up.. yes that bit of rubber you mentioned does seem to get in the way but it is desighned to wedge into the spacer.. if you need any photos i can post them tomorrow

the factory bushes stay where they are and the pineapples are used to compress them to eliminate the movement that you get from them.

This thread has some pictures I took when installing mine http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=61229

I know this is an old thread, but due to questions I have received lately on this topic.

You don't need to cut the over hang off (factory rubber bush) , when the pineapple goes on it compresses the factory bush into the subframe, when done up tight the pineapple sits flush.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
