Hi all

I have a 34 making 230 odd rwkw and it has started to tramp real bad in 1st and sometimes in second.

It has potenza for the street shocks iv never herd of them and imagine their from japan fitted before it was imported.

Whats an easy way to fix this problem. can i just get new shocks for my car?

I'd have to agree. Pineapples in the squat position are the best thing to do. I have also added Unique Autosport diff bushes and have eliminated it all together. Has nothing to do with springs and shocks. I chased that crappy idea for a year before deciding to start at the diff and go from there. Lucky for me that made a huge difference and the pineapples fixed the rest.

Dunno if there is a fulcrum suspension down south. but i just received a quote from them today and part of it was Rear diff pinion mount kit - $61.78c

Dan at elite racing does the whiteline pineapples for about $90ish i think. can also be had from ebay

Damn, i was just about to post the same thread...Glad i looked...

Mine was tramping a bit before, but not with 250Rwkw its hopeless, its progressively getting worse i think!

With the pinapples that people are recommending, are these the alloy type ones i've seen advertised (Skylinecouple??)

What diff bushes are you guys referring too?

Silverr34gtt - Can you please PM me with the result and cost? Be much appreciated :P

I have the yellow urethane ones but I have often wanted to try the alloy. From my way of thinking the pinapples are designed to change the pinion angle mostly to help the rear end squat or lose traction for your particular motorsport. The alloy ones are for locking the subframe and stop lateral or front to rear movement when cornering, stopping or accellerating. I had an idea where I could put the required pinapples in to help the car squat and the alloy ones on the other two locating points to stop lateral movement. Take my advice with the diff bushes, I have said this before, NO axle tramp.

Diff bushes are from Unique autosport and pinapples anywhere really. The sponsors here on the forums are the best place to start.

skylinecoupe are those diff bushes ur talking about the red ones that go on the 4 mounting positions?

i already have those Bee R pineapples set to traction i still have really bad axle tramp think i might give these diff bushes a try are they hard to put in? im not keen on taking the diff out again i just did that i blew my diff to pieces lol... i get the feeling it was because of axle tramp and maybe because i angled the diff with those pine apples..? if i put these diff bushes in i reckon ill change how i have the pine apples set up and just putt all four on the bottom and see how that goes..

Yes the red ones. They merely replace the originals but are much stiffer and if you already have had diff replacement then you have been flogging the bushes every time you dropped the clutch or accelerate then decelerate. Be carefull because some mechanics are good at convincing you to only put the front ones in but only because they are too lazy to take diff out. Besides, you can do it yourself. Even if you just do the front ones I'll bet there is a difference.

10% of the time it’s tyre pressures, the sidewall flexes and releases. Try pumping the tyres up and see if the axle tramp stops and/or gets less.

5% of the time it’s worn subframe bushes, since you have fitted a rear subframe alignment kit (pineapples) I suspect that isn’t the problem in your case.

25% of the time its drive shaft angle, the car is TOO LOW and the angle of the universal joints are winding up the drive shafts. If your car is lower than 345 mm centre of wheel to guard on the rear, then try raising it up.

60% of the time it’s incorrectly matched spring and shock damper rates. The rebound (extension) damping is not sufficient to control the oscillations of the springs. Standard springs with worn shocks get this problem. BRAND NEW aftermarket coil overs get this problem where the spring rate is too high for the shocks to control.

Once you have eliminated 1, 2 and 3, then your problem is #4

:stupid: cheers :D

This is exactly the type of nonsense I'm talking about. Start with a solid diff that has had the bushes flogged out of it over 10 or even 15 years and work your way out. Stop following the same old advice. Sydney kid is right of course but only if you have the diff tied down tight in the first place. Did the Skylines have bad axel tramp when they let the factory ? No, they didn't. So if a brand new car with soft suspension didn't why would the same car with more pwer to spin the wheels and better (stiffer) suspension have teeth rattling tramp now !

D-Project Alloy Subframe Bushes :

Subframe%20Bushes%201.jpg

$135 Delivered to your door (no pickup).

Easy to install yourself if you know your way around cars.

Pineapples and Squat/Antisquat work in the short term, but they will not fix or secure the shagged subframe bushes. You can still setup the subframe for squat/anti squat with the alloy bushes, but we have found that all 8 installed is the best setup.

We also have replacement subframe bushes OEM style for $199 Delivered

Diff Bushes etc are in development.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
