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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
