Ok folks, here's the deal!!

My mate owned this car about 7 years ago, 3 years later he sold it to me, 3 years later again i sold it back to him, and he has had it for about a year or so now, BUT being a business man and running his own business, he hasn't had the time to drive it and has a company car. SO he has asked me to sell it for him(I have the car to sell), as i used to own it and know everything about it.

Ok the car is a 9/1996 model M Spec series 2, was imported waaaaay back in 1998 by the SVD president, and bought by my mate in 2002, bought by me in 2005 and bought back by my mate in 2008, So there's the history lesson!!

Over all the car is in great shape, apart from the usual blemishes like a crack or two on the front bar, there is also a dent on the rear pillar on the passenger side where a umbrella has fallen on it(will try and fix), and also the ariel wont go up. So there is the minor detail of the issues.

Below is the list of details of things on the car:

Apexi Power FC(No Hand Controller)

Adelaide Turbo Services T3 Hi flow T4(Running 16psi)

Z32 Air Flow Meter

Walbro Fuel Pump

Nismo 550cc Injectors

JunBL Muffler

R33 GTR Front Mount Intercooler

KnN Pod Filter

DBA Slotted Front Rotors(1yo)

Bendix Race Pads(All Round)

Extreme Clutch

Oil Catch Can

Suspension and Handling:

Cusco Front Strut Brace

Cusco Rear Strut Brace

Whiteline Springs

Bilstein Shocks

This car has been well looked after for ALL of its life(168,XXXkms), early days it had seen "some" work done by Tilbrooks, but as of the last 5 years or so it has only been to see Shaun and Troy down at Boostworx for tunes and mods, servicing has been done by myself or my bro in law(Qual Mech). The sound of this thing under full throttle is amazing, and although both myself and my mate had plans for a squirt at Mallala(grip) it never happened, so it hasn't ever seen a track.

The price is higher as we are not in a hurry to sell, It is however negotiable, but if you offer something stupid you will be treated the same. Pictures are included of the couple cracks in front bar, and of the slight dent.

I have been thru a couple defect stations and have been let off, In the time i owned the car personally i never got any trouble from the cops, and yes it was driven as a daily, during day time AND night time as i work shift work! Also the engine bay looks very much standard apart from a pod!

Cheers

Darren

    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
    • I'd suggest the answer to the first question is at least a qualified "yes". I'll come back to that. Pineapples just don't do a lot to solidify the mounting of the subframe. They do a little bit, and that little bit was clearly helpful to me in the past, but the main thing they are intended to be used for is to tip the orientation of the subframe to try to either dial in more or less anti-squat. You can install them one way to try to increase launch traction, or the other way to try to increase lateral grip (at the notional expense of longitudinal traction). Or, as I did, you install them neutral, which only really offers a little bit of "snugging" up of the subframe. When I did pineapples, that was the only option. No-one had a machined alloy collar like the GKTech ones. There were some other options, but nothing like the slip in collars. And it is clear from looking at them that they occupy almost all the free space inside the rubber bush, so they will do a lot to stop them moving internally. So I thought, "that's the game for me!". Obviously the next/adjacent step is poly bushes, but what's the point in doing that with all the work and hassle required to change them over, when jamming (and I mean literally jamming) some alloy into the rubber bushes probably gives an equivalent, or possibly even superior result? So, to go back to your 1st question, I would suggest, for the investment of <<$100 and a morning spent lying under the car swearing and getting some sore fingers, it is certainly something you should try. Who knows? Maybe your situation is so severe that it doesn't solve it. But it might help a lot. If your problem is as severe as you say it is, the next thing to look at is what the rest of the bushes in the rear end are made from. Things like the Hardrace arms with hardened rubber bushes might be a good thing (for the purposes of having adjustability AND stiffer bushes). Otherwise, just poly bushes throughout could be a help. Or following in my fever dream footsteps and putting a lot of sphericals into the rear? Eliminate undersired movement to avoid the build up of resonances that cause the tramp. Also, if you have adjustable uppers in the rear, and you haven't put effort into adjusting the traction arms to minimise bump steer, there might be some advantage in that. If you don't want to go to the effort of doing it yourself (like I am pretty much forced to in Adelaide, owing to a lack of race alignment specialists) then surely there's a place in Melbs that is able to do it. It will cost $$, But that's life.
