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

NV 101 a member on this forum sells pineapples, cnc machined alloy ones for $100 deliverd. DO NOT USE GARAGE 13! I REPEAT DO NOT!. a friend at work has waited 2months for some items from him (pineapples etc). he paid on order and they jst keep giving him the run around. ive bought 1 set off nv 101. great to deal with quick delivery, very happy :(

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.

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
