beastpath Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 As I am waiting for parts to show up I figured I would do some things to the truck that I have been wanting to. Firstly, I remounted my taurus fan on the radiator using a piece of aluminum, and some furnature floor protectors as bushings: Then I FINALLY did my Calmini Idler arm brace, and made a centerlink-idlerarm bushing from a energy suspension tie rod bushing. IDK how it will hold up, but its got to be better than the rubber one that fell apart when I took off the arm. after cutting Just thought I would share.

MikeV Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 How many amps is the mean green & did you get a good price? I have the dual battery system that Mean Green made years ago but only a 95 amp alty and may upgrade. Looks nice and the bushing should work well!-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice and the bushing should work well!-) the mean green is supposed to be 180 amps. I got the one from 4x4parts website so it was a little pricey, like $350 (my dad "convinced me" to get a new alt instead of doing the quest swap by giving me $200 hehe) thanks! I had been thinking about the bushing thing for a while. Would probably work for all the centerlink bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Oh, and I got my Mean Green Alternator installed the other day too. do you think that that alternator would fit on my 300zx z31? it also has a vg30e and the alternator is on that same side. I know the turbo ones have it on the other side. that would be a massive upgrade from my 70 amp i have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Z uses the same alt I think it would fit. I'll recheck that they are the same size when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the guy I bought the brace from had already painted it black, I just touched up most of the areas where the blue was showing again.
