Drift Pineapples

[DJRIFT]

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.

[DJRIFT]

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

sorry i dont want to break the rules.

Hi

What car did you put these in,

Do ya have pics of install

i have a set of the Bee*r pineapples goin into my r33, and want to setup for drift,

Any help would be great.

[DJRIFT]

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.

[bazr33]

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 .

[DJRIFT]

yep thats why the bee r ones have the slit so you can get them between the body and subframe without droping the whole thing out.

[bazr33]

sweet as mate

thanks for the info !!

[bazr33]

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

[CATKICKER]

Geeez I am good to you!!

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...

Hope that help dude!!

sounds like a winner

mine are in now, but around the other way, for anti squat

Thanks heaps

are thease only good for drift or would they benifit my gtr in the way it handles

[CATKICKER]

if you set them up as I have, you will induce more rear squat and increase traction on acceleration.

nice i will purchase these then

[CATKICKER]

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.

[gun32gtr]

yeh price is real good. i only have stock suspension a the moment but i will be getting some coil overs soon. just doing engine mods 1st?
