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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
