Hey Guys,

So i have finally found out whats wrong with the stag,

The rear cradle bushes are a lil worn, nothing major, but mechanic said its what to expect with a car thats dones 150ks,

Now i am going to be replacing these in the next few weeks, i have found the white line set, which is approx $200 + install.

I have also done a bit of research and i am looking into puttin in some "drift pineapples"

has anyone doe this and what ones do thay use? mechanic wasnt 100% so any help and pics would be great.

Cheers Guys

Kris

I have used them before on my r33 and worked well. it alters the geometry of the cradle like a 4 link setup, so if the pineapples can be moved around for different setups eg. Grip, neutral and of course drift

^^^ Yep just replacing the bushes should help heaps. I have "pineapples" in my car because I try to do regular track work but when you put them in you'll get a drone from the diff... the instruction that come with them say you can put them in for a track meeting or the drags and take them out for the street but who can be bothered doing that?!

Also check rear toe setting - toe out will make the car wander - zero is a good setting for the AWD.

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
