July 26, 200422 yr #1 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 ?

July 26, 200422 yr #4 Like Jeff said, up here pineapples only grow in large fields? Where did you read about them?
July 26, 200422 yr #6 Author More details on Pineapples, I have not found anyone who has them for the T....yet.Details about the Whiteline pineapples HereIt is designed to change angle of the rear subframe, this can reduce squat and tramp when launching.I have noticed my car tramps in the wet (and dry) if I break traction, so I thought this may be a good idea to consider.

July 27, 200422 yr #8 Japanese Motorsport have used them often on skylines sylvias etc they also use urethane gearbox mounts instead of rubber to stop gearsticks bouncing around
July 27, 200422 yr #9 Wouldn't wanna get caught with these in your car entering the Fruit Fly exclusion zone. Could be a hefty defect.
July 27, 200422 yr #10 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...)
