[dan_the_man]

Where would be the best place in Perth to get pineapples. I called up pedders and they said "No but we do bananas on tuesdays" Clowns.

In Perth, try Whiteline retailers (WA Suspension, Wheelsworld, X-Speed, etc), or C-Red who have non-Whiteline pineapples for cheaper.

And stay away from Pedders.

Thanx for ur replies, will search around for a whiteline dealer

Tell Pedders to shove their bananas up their collective arses. Yet another reason to hate their guts.

I ended up going to Wilkinson Suspension. $175 fitted. Just need some dry weather so I can see how they feel

[benm]

My pineapples cost around $180 fitted and it was the best damn $180 i spent on my car (except the $66 DOT5.1 brake fluid which is a must for all Skyline owners).

Ben, what temperature does your dot 5 boil at? There's an expensive dot 4 from Caltex that boils at over 300 degrees. I forget the exact name (it's in my garage atm but it's too cold to go out and look), but it's around half the price of yours. Race Brakes use and recommend it

[dan_the_man]

Woop! These pineapples make a big difference! Way more traction when taking off. Also while cornering, the back end does not fly out as much. The car really really pulls u back on launches now

Yup thats exactly how they work, good stuff eh !

I believe its 320-330c. I didn't really have time to pick and choose, thats what my brakes specialist had and i didnt have a brake pedal to get me around town to 'browse' so i used it. I was actually expecting like $120ish for good quality stuff so it worked out ok in the end.

[Gradenko]

N/A®, I never heard any knocks on mine, instead the back end used to shift left to right over every bump (did the crab walk). Either your subframe bushes are really worn or you've got other suspension issues to work out or it may be as simple as an exhaust mount thats worked loose. Have it checked it out.

Is there a place in melbourne were i can pick these up.

Cheers

bought the whiteline kit with 4 pineapples but used only 2 in the standard position, what do you do with it? Is it better to use it in the all-round position as the postions described are drift,drag,standard and all-round.

btw with the new nolathan bushes in the front castor rod and the pineapples, car feel more solid, more direct but more bumpy.

[Gradenko]

All-round is the one you want for day to day driving and circuit work.

Polyurethane bushes are good. Now you just got the front upper arm and rear upper arms left to get the new car feel.

[benm]

What do the 'front upper arm' bushes do? Help with steering or something ?

[Gradenko]

Front upper bushes let you dial in camber +/- 0.75 degrees. You also get a little more feedback through the steering wheel and all the other benefits of polyurethane.

Rear upper bushes can be used for camber adjustment too.

[diduc]

thanks, btw got front adjustable front castor bushes but left as standard.

any difference from standard with the pineapples to all-round?

all well, gonna check cost fitting the extra 2.

cheers.
