So looking at the SK pic, in standard trim, the subframe floats up and down on those mount points, and the pinapples fill a that gap.

If you get Aluminum ones, sound is tramitted through the frame.

For all round performance use the bottom ones (non split)

For drift tilt the diff back using btm front, top rear.

For drag tilt it forward using top front, btm rear.

"I have the otomotto kit and i have 2 large split and 2 small non split"

This would be a kit designed for drag then.

The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drift? and if you put all 4 budshes in the rear it is a marginal drift setup?

EDIT! The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drag?

couldn't remember if you had the pinapples or not but from memory your car was quiet, handled awsome and had the same firm ride in a straight line as mine with its standard springs and uprated shocks (on car when bought). Cheers for letting me know you did have them for our spin :thumbsup:

P.S. enjoying the job? had to do a couple of your call outs. Sick of being told "can't make it" yet?

Not so, you put the small split rings above the subframe at the rear and the large non split below the subframe at the front. This give max antisquat which reduces the rear end grip, making it the ideal setting for drift. It's the bottom left hand drawing in the instructions.

:thumbsup: Cheer :)

I have most definitely used the drag setting (maximum squat) on a few cars that I have worked on, as well as my own. The usual improvement in 60' times is 0.15 second from the subframe alignment.

That setting is the lower left in the instructions (maximum traction). With the small, split rings on top at the front and small, non split rings on the bottom at the rear.

:( cheers :)

most people i've spoken to using them in drift cars, go for either "All Round" or "grip"

As someone mentioned above, and has been confirmed with a few people i've spoken to who have used them in "drift" setup, they are stupidly slippery and becomes more of a hinderance than a benefit if the car is properly set up in the first place.

Any problems with understeer or problems loosing traction for drift should be overcomed using different wheels/tyres or different stabiliser bar settings.

how long generaly should the whiteline pineapples last for ??

i got mine about a year ago but i think there starting to die now...

that clunking noise has kinda come back now when i turn and stuff..

hmm maybe ill take em out and see if there cracked or something

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
