i got some drift pineapples today off a guy on NS and was kinda anoyed when i realised he had made them himself and they hadnt been manufactured like he said. but he did suply instructions on fitment. but i soon got over that and realised that i could also make them.

i have a friend of a friend who can get me some nolaphane (if thats how its spelt) so i can make them up faily cheap if anyone wants. now dont be deturbed by me saying drift as these can be set up for three different ways to optimise hadeling. squat, drift and alround proformance.

its just an idea so let me know if your keen.

well i fitted my pine apples to day and i did notice quite a difference.

i put them in and took it for a quick run up the road. i decided to do a bit of a skid as thats what i put them in for and i found the back end to be quite a bit stiffer. i was able to fish tail down the road with ease as in the past the car would go out sideways and then snap back into line. i also only have lowered springs over the standard shocks (which are stuffed) so it was easy to notice the difference. if you had a stiff backend already than you may not notice them as much.

well worth the money i recon

ok ill explain as best i can. there are four points that you put these pineapples in. there is 4 mounting bolts for the rear subframe. 2 towards the front and to at the back. for drift put the smaller diameter ones towards the front between the subframe and the nut and cuped washer that holds it all in. then put the bigger ones at the back between the subframe and the body.

try that any more questions just ask

I set mine up differently as per the whiteline instructions to induce rear squat for maximum traction but it is easy to swap between the different setups.

I am happy with how mine is but did a lot of other things at the same time.

sweet as, sounds simple to do

Just was unsure, cause of te larger diameter bushes have slits in them

and the small ones dont, so if the bushes stay where therre suppose to be i should be sweet.

They way you stated i should be able to get away without dropping the subframe .

Hey,

I tried fitting the bushes in my car tonight, and

do i remove the standard bushes out?

cause reading other ppls post, and them saying they have done it in 45 mins, doesn't sound like they removed them.

Juist if i saw some pics of it done, it would give me a bit more confidence about it.

thanks

Geeez I am good to you!! :D

Here is mine setup for maximum traction. I did not remove any other bushes. If yours looks different than this I would say there is already something after market. There was some rubber points on there but very minimal...

nice i will purchase these then

in my mind, for the price you can't go too wrong.

I am not sure how much difference you will find with stock suspension (not that I know if you do or not) but I have only heard and experenced good things with them.

Think of it as adjusting the pisition of the diff via the subframe, one way increases squat, the onther decreases.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
