ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/07/04 01:56 PM Share Posted 26/07/04 01:56 PM I have been reading about Pinapples and what a huge difference they make in RWD cars. They are very popular with the Skyline croud and I was wondering why they have not been mentioned here before.For people who have NFI what I am talking aboutQ: Pineapples? A: Pineapples are a urethane spacer that removes a lot of flex in your rear subframe assembly. They are also be used to change the angle of your rear subframe, for either hard launches and great handling, or consistent predictable drifting.They are mainly used for drifting and drag racing, but they could make a difference to the T's as they tend to have a sloppy rear end .Anyone care to comment ?

sixfan Flaccid Member Donating Members 2,503 Member For: 21y 9m 2d Gender: Male Location: NOONAMAH, go figure..... Posted 27/07/04 02:37 AM Share Posted 27/07/04 02:37 AM Sounds interesting, does the T have much of a problem with Camber changes during cornering? I thought the IRS used on the T didn't suffer this (unlike the pivot arm system used in datsuns...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
