Urgent help please, Pineapples

[skyla]

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.
