when driving, the rear of my car tends to turn at an angle as you're driving straight, but it's only really noticable in the wet.

when i make turns at high speed in the wet the car sometimes feels uncontrollable and dangerous, like it can't follow the corner through and shakes.

it definitely feels like there's something wrong in the back somewhere, i was thinking maybe rear swaybar, hicas or even bushes

someone please help

Have you had all the wheels aligned?

As above.Looks like hicas fluid stop the leak and lock it..prolly only a gasket.

While ur there rear strut brace for fun times.works a treat at high speed cornering predictability.Are you still on the stocker tyres?if yes then dissregard what i said.you need low profile tyres imo to really feel it's difference.

A more soild rear end on huge sidewall aka stockers, can make the back end feel uneasy at high speeds.

I noticed that you have the cooling veins on your diff housing.Cool.

cool thanks heaps guys i'll lock that bastard up, i never liked it anyway.

its got 275s all round so it tramlines a bit everynow and then and with the hicas going crazy, it feels pretty shite.

yeh i guess the fins must be a gtr thing.

does anyone know if there's a reservoir for the hicas?

Yes there is.

I recall reading something a while ago that this problem appears if you have re-connected the battery while the wheels were not in the straight ahead position. Just my vague recollection.

is it the one in the boot? where the jack sits but on the other side? does anyone know how to make hicas centred?

umm straight? noob when it comes to that stuff.

the tyres are pretty new only a few months old

something is leaking at the back though, i saw this today, looks like the diff is leaking could this be the cause?

hi

one of the air bleed nipples for the attesa is above there, if you have lost all your attesa fluid you will have a rwd car so in the wet she wont handle so good. the attesa pump is up there above the diff too

    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
