Pineapples

[R33S2]

So looking at the SK pic, in standard trim, the subframe floats up and down on those mount points, and the pinapples fill a that gap.

If you get Aluminum ones, sound is tramitted through the frame.

For all round performance use the bottom ones (non split)

For drift tilt the diff back using btm front, top rear.

For drag tilt it forward using top front, btm rear.

"I have the otomotto kit and i have 2 large split and 2 small non split"

This would be a kit designed for drag then.

The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drift? and if you put all 4 budshes in the rear it is a marginal drift setup?

EDIT! The whiteline doesnt have the scope for drag?

Can some one post wether after fitting the whiteline items if there was a noticable different in niose in cabin?

Matt... mine has the whiteline subframe lock and align kit in it (pineapples)

dunno if you noticed how noisey mine is or isn't...

(i don't pay any attention to it.. there's that many squeaks and rattles that i tune out )

[ellie]

couldn't remember if you had the pinapples or not but from memory your car was quiet, handled awsome and had the same firm ride in a straight line as mine with its standard springs and uprated shocks (on car when bought). Cheers for letting me know you did have them for our spin

P.S. enjoying the job? had to do a couple of your call outs. Sick of being told "can't make it" yet?

Not so, you put the small split rings above the subframe at the rear and the large non split below the subframe at the front. This give max antisquat which reduces the rear end grip, making it the ideal setting for drift. It's the bottom left hand drawing in the instructions.

Sorry SK I meant Drag as there is no front top split or is that a different kit?

Ok I get the idea now.

The 4 bushes wont fit in, its either top or bottom.

I have most definitely used the drag setting (maximum squat) on a few cars that I have worked on, as well as my own. The usual improvement in 60' times is 0.15 second from the subframe alignment.

That setting is the lower left in the instructions (maximum traction). With the small, split rings on top at the front and small, non split rings on the bottom at the rear.

cheers

most people i've spoken to using them in drift cars, go for either "All Round" or "grip"

As someone mentioned above, and has been confirmed with a few people i've spoken to who have used them in "drift" setup, they are stupidly slippery and becomes more of a hinderance than a benefit if the car is properly set up in the first place.

Any problems with understeer or problems loosing traction for drift should be overcomed using different wheels/tyres or different stabiliser bar settings.

can those otomotto's (with four pineapples) be used ii drag,drift,all round applications, by swaping them around?

[justin911]

how long generaly should the whiteline pineapples last for ??

i got mine about a year ago but i think there starting to die now...

that clunking noise has kinda come back now when i turn and stuff..

hmm maybe ill take em out and see if there cracked or something

[MearCat]

I have just bought a set - Has anyone got instructions on how to fit them? Not for drift setup that is.
