Hi guys,

Ive got that knocking of the whole rear subframe every time i hit the accelerator and ive been told its rear subframe bushes now i took it to "Driftline" when i got the car...and was told yeh u need pineapples...

now im an apprentice mechanic 1st year and i had my car on the hoist at work not long ago topping up my driveline oils and i decided to chek out the rear subframe coz i wanted to learn for myself where the bushes sit etc.... now i duno if its normal but i could litterally lift and shake the whole subframe with my hand ??? :S

Now the question is... do i need " Pineapples " like driftline says or do i need the complete bushes???

Cheers!

Yes that is not normal, ur bushes are most probably gone...

pinapples are bushes if i am correct??? they are just stiffer... pretty much you can get stock, nolethane, pinapples or solid cradle bushings. but i may be wrong!?!?!? anyone?

the first one are "pineapples", the second are proper subframe replacement bushes.

Pineapples sit above or below the subframe on the bolt that locates it and lock it in place. THey can be effective in holding the whole thing right even when the bushes are stuffed. And they are damn easy to change compared to the subframe bushes.

But....if you have access to a workshop you should change the actual bushes...its a better solution. Will probably take a couple of hours even with the right tools if nothing has been off the car before.

Ok so from my understanding... pineapples are for the "cbf" people who want a quick fix of ur rear subframe fkn flying alover the joint? and or to make it stiffer from slightly worn bushes....

And! if i have the time and effort available its advised to put the huge f*kers in and fix it up all together :) ok well i guess ill have to put the full proper ones in as i really am sitting on no bushes at all...

cheers Duncan :P

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
