Lol. Yes, yes, GTRs are great - we've all heard it before.

Like previously stated I was all for selling the GTT and getting a 34 GTR but they are just so overpriced still at 10 years old. I used to have a 32 Gtst and although a 32 GTR would be fun at $15-20k personally I feel they are just way too old for an every day driver - no offense of course!

This is really a thread about RWD Skylines and what is achievable in 0-100 times, essentially with 'cop friendly' launches, compared to the similar rivals ie WRX, STI, XR6T, SS etc etc

You dont know what you're missing.

has anyone done back to back runs with 255/17s and 275+/18or19s with around 250+rwkw.. with similar tyres to see if the wider tyre on a bigger rim results in more traction??

I have roughly 440rwhp atm and trying to work out all the things i can do to improve traction and any handling improvements i can make without sacrificing traction... does anyone know if polyurethane bushes would decrease traction?

Cheers

an lsd helps alot!

depending on the condition of your stock lsd.

i had no traction 1st to 3rd (251rwkw) with stock lsd, put a nismo 2way and although i do still get some wheel spin, its nothing compare to before and the car is alot quicker...

one thing people have overlooked in this thread.

Suspension setup.

Stock suspension with pineapples pointing the pinion angle in the correct position will get you soo much more traction then a set of coil overs.

The difference is amazing.

On this topic of pineapples, can anyone share with us the best way to get the pineapples setup correctly for maximum traction? there are 3 ways you can setup the pineapples but which one is the best for drag traction? I am sure there is a thread on here about it from back around 2003 2004 when i got my pineapples but I cannot be farked searching for it at the moment. Maybe someone can find it and test it and post up their results for everyone to see?

Who is going to try it out?

Okay I decided to not be so lazy and found this.

My pineapples are currently setup for "all round performance"

there you go - also SHIM YOUR DIFF!

So the fastest 0-100k time so far is around 4.6-4.7? I can't remember what mine is, I think its around that mark too.... haven't tried doing it since I finally tuned the car though.

hi guilt toy

i dont know the best setup, but i had centreline setup the pineapple diff cradle package on my car and from memory its on drag launch setup and its never been changed from that. from their documentation drag launch is really maximum traction, from memory mine is on that. i have std shocks still

[PM-R33]

Yeah mine is set to maximum traction aswell.

[gwilkinson34]

How much do these pineapples cost and where can i get them from? Will any suspension place know what I'm talking about if i go in? I still have standard shocks but slightly lower king springs - sounds like the pineapples might help me out a bit?

[Harey]

qwilkinson34, look at the link posted by Guilt-Toy in post #46. It specifies whiteline part number and explains them. Roughly $110.

I am getting some pineapples fitted today by Centreline suspension. I am getting quite a bit of axle tramp, Chris wants to fit them at all round performance. What do you guys think?

Has anyone tried them at both all round performance and maximum traction to give a comparison?

Are there any drawbacks to having these things installed on a daily driver...?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

my car is setup by centreline with the pineapples for "all round"

greddy 6/8 coilovers, pineapples, superpro castor and camber bushes, selbys non adjustable swaybars, strutbraces and a mechanical 1.5 way diff.

i get zero tramp and very good traction.

i run the car @ 320mm centre to guard (low as) and with 245/40/18 nitto NT05's i get traction through all gears in the dry with 285rwkw

on e85 i am pushing 325rwkw and only just lose 1st but have all of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th

What sort of 0-100 time do you think you can manage with that setup?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

nope... have had mine in for over 2 years now

What sort of 0-100 time do you think you can manage with that setup?

i have no idea actually.... would have to be pretty good tho (driver dependant)

Thanks mate! All round it is

I cant believe you can get traction in 1st gear with 285rwkw! Your car must be setup very well.

[PM-R33]

Yeah Hamish, how the hell do you get traction in second, let alone first

My setup is similar to yours other than the 1.5 way.

[Lithium]

This is all really good to know - awesome, cheers for sharing! Do a 0-100km run! I have nothing in 1st from about 3500-4000rpm and 2nd gear isn't flash.

Hey mate, how do you find the nittos for street use ?

no worries

nitto's man.... with the federals it was very very different

Hey mate, how do you find the nittos for street use ?

brilliant.... but expensive

have done 5000k's so far including 1 DECA and will definately see 10,000 above that it will depend on how many trackdays i get in

in the rain they are shit like all tyres, but not dangerous at all.... they still give much more traction than most

"RRP" is 480 in a 245/40/18
