is there a massive difference between solid cradle bushes and poly pineapples? are these even the same thing coz they look to be :S just weighing up if its worth the extra $50 or so for the alloy ones..

If I buy the Whiteline kit and want the Maximum Traction setting, are there enough rings to go round? Judging from the PDF it says the front needs (Small Cut Rings - I assume that means 2?) and the rear needs (Small Ring)

To me, this brings the total to 4 Small Cut Rings and 2 Small Rings. The kit however contains 4 small rings (two with cut) and two large rings. Does this mean I need two kits?

It says on the kit that it increases NVH, is it really noticeable over stock?? Also with the max traction settings, does it make the rear end more soft - ie u can push the car down easier from the back

Would like to know this too if anyone still cares about this thread.

old thread.

i cant remember if ive got these in my car i think i put some in like 3yrs ago. can anyone comment if the drift/drag setup actually makes a difference or if its just bogus.

id imagine drag setup just has something to do with axle tramp?

Mate if you can tell the difference between maximum squat or otherwise then you have much keener senses than me.

I find the maximum compliance setting using only 4 pineapples to be the best on my car by a long way.

I set it up for maximum squat and it didn't do... well... squat :rolleyes:

No noticeable improvement in traction but more axle tramp - no thanks

P.S I've recently got rid of the poly pineapples and fitted the alloy lock rings which is a far superior solution.

People say the NVH increases too much but it really is fark all, anyway it's a modded Skyline not a friggin limo!

So anybody want to purchase a set of second hand, good condition pineapples? (4 only = max compliance)

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
