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.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
