thanx, yeah had a few saying axel tramp just not sure thats all. thanx!

Yeh well ive heard of bad axle tramp but not bad enough to pop you out of gear, just make sure everything is tight and nothing is broken and if it still happens then go buy yourself some pineapples or solid cradle bushes and chuck them in and she should be sweet as!!

Pretty sure they both do the same thing, pineapples are made out of a hard rubber and are softer, where as solid cradle bushes are made out of solid billet alloy and are harder wearing, both will eliminate tramp and will help for bagging it up easier, just gets the power to the ground better!!

solid cradle bushes are different than pineapples. Solid cradle bushes replace the rubber bushes where as pineapples fill the gap between the cradle and the chassis to try and reduce the movement of the cradle. I'll try and find a video of the solid bushes being fitted.

EDIT!!

Here's the vid'

They use aluminium bushes in this vid' but acital is another common bush material

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
