guys

it was drizzlin' a little yesterday. Was driving the car and as i exited the round-a-bout, i gently tapped the accelerator. Now,the bloody tail just slipped .I am getting annoyed with this cause i am only doing like 20km/h.

What do you think is bloody wrong?

running very good tyres on the ride (Bridgestone Potenza Re01s all four) with 70% tread.

HELP!

Does this happen in the dry also??

Maybe your tyres have to much pressure in them ie its very hard..

well it happens in the dry only if i go quick.

my tyres on the front are 39psi whilst the rears are 34psi (set accurately cause i have a michelin digital gauge).

Any ideas?

HELP!!!!

Might be useless in this post but on Sunday when it was wet I had 3 people in the car (including me) and I floored it past 6000 RPM and my ass didnt even step out... i got a rear strut and nearly new Pirelli P6s...

well my car has the rear strut and front stabiliser.

Just keep the pedal into it and apply some opposite lock coming out of the corner ;)

I find that in my car as soon as it hits boost in 1st or 2nd gears in the wet it just goes nuts. Also remember it really does depend on what mods you are running on your car as well. Power increase mods obviously get the tail snapping easy. Suspension mods such as coilovers, harder springs/struts will also have a large impact on it as well.

Having three people in the car also probably gives the car less chance of stepping out anyway. More weight over the rear wheels. Also depends if you were coming out of a corner or flooring it down a straight.

why you runnin so much pressure??

keep it around 30-32 at most.. Try that and see if it works..

I have a feelin its your tyres..

dude i will try that ;)

as i recall the skylines are to run higher pressure on front tyres because of the engine putting more weight on the car... any thoughts?

waht do you mean??

basically the rear shocks were leaking, and had lost their "shockability".... causing the rear to float allover the road, espescially around corners... and i thought it was my hicas unit playing funny buggers...lol

are u sure your not dialing up 6000rpm in 2nd gear then dropping the clutch out of the roundabout?

u must be giving that right pedal a bit of carpet action to get the ass out so easily. i have heard stories of shagged shocks attributing to this though.

I was in the wet, with 3 guys in the car including me, was turning right at the lights, took off normally in first when i hit 3000rpm the turbo kicked in and it tailed out, i wasn't doing more than 20kmph myself.

Sounds normal to me :)

How tight was this "roundabout"?

I have similar mods and I have trouble in my R32 with it. Although I do have coilovers :) If its still annoying you just hit third gear instead. I don't think there is anything wrong with your car at all. Just enjoy the nature of a RWD turbo :D

hmmmm yeah but when you slow down, the revs are too low for 3rd gear...

if this is part and parcel of the RWD turbo behaviour then it's fine. I am into learning it.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
