Ok... done a search but cant seem to find a conclusive solution.

Ive let the tyres down to 25psi and that has marginally reduced it... but its still there and its really annoying (apart from damaging ur rear end).

Ive good pretty stiff suspension (tein HA) but apparently u can fix it if u put pineapples in...altho i cant understand y it would fix it coz pineapple would make it even stiffer.

Ne1 had any experiences with this or can reccommend a good place to take it to preferably on the south East side of Melbourne?

a great solution in drift pinapples.

we use them to soften the transition from grip to drift.

they effectively also eliminate tramp as a byproduct.

(if you dont know what i mean by drift pinapples, i mean solid mounting your rear cradle)

I'll be getting metal ones if I can find them because I plan to put them in as "All-Round" and therefore the normal ones wouldn't benefit me as my subframe bushes are probably stuffed after 15+ years of service.

But I guess if you're gonna set them up for "Drift" those yellow ones would serve fine.

Anyone know who sells alloy pineapples? Can't seem to find anyone with them. :D

there are different types of spacers...

the whiteline urethane (i think that's what they are made from) ones can be used to 'align' the subframe

the alloy ones don't align the subframe, you put one on top and one below the subframe and they squash the original bush - locking the subframe in place.

if you want to align the subframe go for the whiteline ones - they also have a pic on their website on how to install for grip / all round / drift.

they are all claimed to reduce or eliminate axel tramp, but tramp can also be caused by stuffed shocks.

(garage-13.com sells alloy pineapples)

one of thing that can often be mixed up as axle tramp, is tailshaft centre bearing movement causing the tailshaft to whip when taking off, we had this on our car & we had pineapples, thought it was a stuffed shock.

fitted new centre bearing & all good!!

may help cheers russ

torque steer is due to unequal length driveshafts, as the longer shaft can flex more than the sorter driveshaft under high-powered acceleration

axle tramp is related to lack of compliance in suspension bushings and worn shocks/springs.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
