8k limiter and side step.... what is wheel spin?? ive never heard of it?

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

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

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 :thumbsup: - also SHIM YOUR DIFF!

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

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?

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?

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 :happy:

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

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

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) :happy:

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.

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

no worries ;)

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.

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 :D

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

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
