is there a massive difference between solid cradle bushes and poly pineapples? are these even the same thing coz they look to be :S just weighing up if its worth the extra $50 or so for the alloy ones..

If I buy the Whiteline kit and want the Maximum Traction setting, are there enough rings to go round? Judging from the PDF it says the front needs (Small Cut Rings - I assume that means 2?) and the rear needs (Small Ring)

To me, this brings the total to 4 Small Cut Rings and 2 Small Rings. The kit however contains 4 small rings (two with cut) and two large rings. Does this mean I need two kits?

where did you go to get yours so cheep? did you order online? i may just have to go to supercheep and try get them through there as there is no fulcrum in NZ

are they the blue ones that you got? the 69.5mm part number is spf1800K? and the 80mm one is spf1799k?

It says on the kit that it increases NVH, is it really noticeable over stock?? Also with the max traction settings, does it make the rear end more soft - ie u can push the car down easier from the back

Would like to know this too if anyone still cares about this thread.

old thread.

i cant remember if ive got these in my car i think i put some in like 3yrs ago. can anyone comment if the drift/drag setup actually makes a difference or if its just bogus.

id imagine drag setup just has something to do with axle tramp?

Mate if you can tell the difference between maximum squat or otherwise then you have much keener senses than me.

I find the maximum compliance setting using only 4 pineapples to be the best on my car by a long way.

I set it up for maximum squat and it didn't do... well... squat :rolleyes:

No noticeable improvement in traction but more axle tramp - no thanks

P.S I've recently got rid of the poly pineapples and fitted the alloy lock rings which is a far superior solution.

People say the NVH increases too much but it really is fark all, anyway it's a modded Skyline not a friggin limo!

So anybody want to purchase a set of second hand, good condition pineapples? (4 only = max compliance)

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
