Ok... done a search but cant seem to find a conclusive solution.

Ive let the tyres down to 25psi and that has marginally reduced it... but its still there and its really annoying (apart from damaging ur rear end).

Ive good pretty stiff suspension (tein HA) but apparently u can fix it if u put pineapples in...altho i cant understand y it would fix it coz pineapple would make it even stiffer.

Ne1 had any experiences with this or can reccommend a good place to take it to preferably on the south East side of Melbourne?

a great solution in drift pinapples.

we use them to soften the transition from grip to drift.

they effectively also eliminate tramp as a byproduct.

(if you dont know what i mean by drift pinapples, i mean solid mounting your rear cradle)

I'll be getting metal ones if I can find them because I plan to put them in as "All-Round" and therefore the normal ones wouldn't benefit me as my subframe bushes are probably stuffed after 15+ years of service.

But I guess if you're gonna set them up for "Drift" those yellow ones would serve fine.

Anyone know who sells alloy pineapples? Can't seem to find anyone with them. :D

there are different types of spacers...

the whiteline urethane (i think that's what they are made from) ones can be used to 'align' the subframe

the alloy ones don't align the subframe, you put one on top and one below the subframe and they squash the original bush - locking the subframe in place.

if you want to align the subframe go for the whiteline ones - they also have a pic on their website on how to install for grip / all round / drift.

they are all claimed to reduce or eliminate axel tramp, but tramp can also be caused by stuffed shocks.

(garage-13.com sells alloy pineapples)

one of thing that can often be mixed up as axle tramp, is tailshaft centre bearing movement causing the tailshaft to whip when taking off, we had this on our car & we had pineapples, thought it was a stuffed shock.

fitted new centre bearing & all good!!

may help cheers russ

torque steer is due to unequal length driveshafts, as the longer shaft can flex more than the sorter driveshaft under high-powered acceleration

axle tramp is related to lack of compliance in suspension bushings and worn shocks/springs.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
