Hi Guys,

Last month I got a reputable workshop to install pineapples for me. Everything was fine, just tonight while I was taking off the wheels to lower the car i noticed that one of the pineapples is split. I have attached a picture.

I just have a few questions:

1. Is this normal? Is it fine to leave like that? Is it doing any damage to the car if I leave it like that for a while?

2. Is it my bad luck that it is split? Or can i get say Whiteline suspension to replace/refund? Or does it mean it was not installed properly and the workshop may replace it for me?

Appreciate any comments!

I'm pretty sure they come split from the factory, buutt that looks like it was installed possibly wrong. It looks as tho it has maybe squashed out a tiny bit, is it overhanging much over the edge of the subframe?

Yeah not sure if there split from factory. I compared it to the one installed on the right hand side of the car and there was no split and seemed a bit 'tighter'. Unless the split is facing the front of the car so I can't see it?

In any case i've email the place where it was installed so i'll see what they say.

Cheers!

For anyone that needs to know I got my answer so FYI i have been told:

"Pineapple bushes are meant to have a split in them for the uppers, and you will be correct the other one will be facing away from you"

Thanks Anyways :ermm:

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
