I have a random issue and im not sure if its a problem or not.

When i lose traction, launch hard or even just corner fast my rear end bounces around. Is this more likely to be;

worn out stock suspension

or

Crappy Tyres

?? I dont know if this is normal and other people have this as well, i always assumed spinning tyres would be nice and smooth lol :worship:

any help is much appreciated :P

Sounds like axle tramp then.

I know of a few people that have had this problem and most of them due to the rear cradle bushes I believe.

Anyhow once they bought 'Pineapples' the axle tramp went away.

This does not mean that it will be the bushes but generally these bushes get old and are a main factor. It could also be rooted shocks, do you have a minispool? Lowered springs on standard shocks?

I would start off with the pineapple bushes as they are not too expensive and do help with traction a fair bit.

These bushes are normally cracked and worn on the older jap cars

thanks for the advice mate :)

will order some from work

I did have a look at the rear suspension and the driver side shockie had the erm...you know the rubber accordion type thing that keeps dust from getting in ?? yeh that was all dry and broken and had been wedged into the strut, pulled all that out. Will get some pineapples and maybe get some coilovers from there.

again, THANKS HEAPS !!! :D

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
