Although personally I would not recomennd this (then again im not all that handy with a jack and spanners either).

Its far simpler to take it to your local suspension specialist, have him throw it up on the hoist and use a rattle gun.

*puts shovel to one side*

As a few recent threads are linking here, i thought i'd link

my piccies of when i installed mine..

Coz i'm that nice kinda guy.. :(

P:S Please stop to admire my leet photoshop 5killz on the arrows ...

i am very interested in these pinapples!! i got my hr31 gts pilarless and it axel tramps badly!!! the bush on the bak of my diff(i think its claed a bush thats what i was told) that is between the petrol tank and the diff, the rubebr bit is broken, and im getin that repaired and see if it stil does it after that if it does ill get these pinapples for sure!

Axel Tramp aka Wheel Hop also leads to broken rear ends, this is frame power being surged when the tire hits the ground and the gears being jarred. Also the U-Joints can suffer when the rear assembly moves out of align.

I'll motion that... i found out the hard way.

one night at the strip... Massive axle tramp... my rear end wasn't too good anyways, but that totally killed it.

Diff mount if snapped/damaged and the bush has just about given up the ghost

:uh-huh:

So me gonna be getting some on the R31 :(

I'm still curious as to what actually causes axle tramp tho... I mean my car is 100% in the dry on the street, i get slight axle tramp in the wet on the street but on the 1/4 i get major major axle tramp all with exactly the same setup.

Is it stiff suspension, soft suspension, faulty part, etc etc

Interesting that you set up the axle for drift?:(

If you guys are having traction issues, make sure you tilt the cradle back, not forward. Also, using hardmount (alloy) spacers and cutting back the stock bushes will rigidly secure the cradle to the body, and goes yet another step forward in assisting traction and reducing axle tramp.

Hey benm wot mods have you done to achieve 192kW @ 12 pounds? I have the same car as you and was wondering what was a good mod for the money, after reading this pineapples review i will certainly get some in the near future. But any other ideas, suggestions? Atm i'v got a 3.5 inch stainless cat back kakimoto exhaust and a apexi pod with a home made heat sheild which utilises the stocky snorkel. I will soon be getting 3 inch from turbo and a high flow cat after that wot would you suggest? I just want a pretty tuff streeter and wanna car that can drift a little better (coilovers so damn exp tho, ah well i can have a wish list).

Is everyone aware that there are three ways to install the "Pineapples",

1-Standard-rear subframe alignment normal

2-Drag-rear subframe declined to promote squat

3-Drift - rear subframe inclined to inhibit squat

Another thing to consider is the state of your stock subframe bushes which contain a fluid to minimise hash ride, noise and vibrations.

In my case two of the four had busted and there was severe movement in the rear end, also very noisy over bad roads and severe wheel hopping when launching hard.

Pinapples only work when installed with the original fluid bushes.

You cannot purchase these bushes from anywhere. You can only buy a subframe from a wrecked car and swap the whole thing over- big job!

Instead i had solid aluminium bushes installed that completely lock the subframe rigid to the chassis.

Very responsive steering and rear end control but extreme harshness thru suspension and vibrations from the driveline at 40-45KPH

Computalign in Nunawading jsut installed mine yesterday.

How much vibration did everyone get?

I get an audible vibration when accelerating hard.

Back end shudders and I don't really like it all that much.

Vibraton is the enemy of everything.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
