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

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
