yeah mediocre tight... almost needs u to full lock the damn car cause the car is big...

Yeah sounds like thats probably more than half your problem. Cos its wet and your taking a tight corner and you rev to 3000ishrpm the same point as when your turbo kicks in, it's not gonna be too hard for the rear to slip out.

As far as tyre pressure goes, it sounds like you've got it too high aswell.

I put in 34psi all around(some may not agree with 34psi, most like 32psi). But you gotta remember to set your pressure on cold tyres. So in other words i put in 34psi cold tyre pressure.

true true but how about the front? your engine will be heavier hence it will press down on the tyres.

Should the front tyres be slightly more?

well, her rpm was below the 2800rpm mark. In fact around early 2000s only ...

and this is a stockie skyline. Hence,the turbo doesn't come into play at all...that's why i'm just a bit annoyed at.

I fear something is wrong and want to get it fixed but dont know what.

The RE01 tyres should be alright unless someone else has issues with it.

yeah 3000rpm when turbo kicks in, in the wet your rear ends gonna go sideways,

always happens so when taking off in wet try hard not to let turbo come on at all.

thats why good ol' auto tranny has a button call snow, forces the car to take off like a snail.

Few things. 1st, its a sports car, its meant to grip, so yes something is wrong, if its the car or not is the question.

So, is it ONLY that round-a-bout or all of them? I have found some really bad, like they have some buildup on them. If its just that one round-a-bout, put up with it, take it easy.

Is the car lowered at all? Could be excessive camber, and or the tyres wearing unevenly.

Im going with the stuffed rear shocks (and probably front as well). Just go push on the back up and down for a bit, then see if it keeps going up and down without you touching it. If so shocks would be goooone. Then its time for new shocks. If so get the SK kit, its the best, by far.

Well as far as i know its the same all around. Sometiimes the recommended tyre pressure is on the tyre or on the car (on a maintenence sticker inside the door arch or under the hood?) or in the owners manual.

The recommended tyre pressure is never given in 2 seperate figures for front and rear tyres.

As for not hitting boost, i still don't think its unlikely to slip out. You did say you tapped the accelerator as you were exiting.

You might have to take in other considerations like:

Was it the first wet day in a while? This can contribute to the slipperyness of the road due to the accumulation of rubber, exhaust etc settling on the road.

There wasn't any oil slicks or deisel or petrol on the road?

You get the idea.

As mentioned before if its not any of these it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get your rear shocks/suspension checked out.

yep the car is not lowered.

well so far it happened on 1 roundabout cause i didn't want to try it again on another...

damnnnn

start Saving for a GTR.what do u think? Attesa kicks in and it is all sweet!

I think i know the problem.......

could be serious.........

Too much power?

are you tyres old and hardened? replaced them since importing?

all this tyre pressure talk won't make much of a different with road tyres.

they are like 2 yrs old i believe. Bought em' off a mate.

Do you think tyre shops(like bob jane)would be able to tell the condition of tyres?

I'm in melbourne cBD these 2 weeks.

thanks!

go out to your car and take a close look at the tyres. poke your nail into them and feel how hard they are to flex like that... and check if the rubber is cracking. my old falkens were like that - hard and cracking. would slide very easily in the wet.

if you go to a tyre shop and say "are my tyres broken, do i need to buy new ones from you?" they will say yes... ha ha ha.

"yeah that sounds a bit suss. Your tyres might be the problem here.

but could i also ask a question

has any1 had pineapples fitted to their 'line?

wanted to know what people's thoughts on them were..."

I don't have them, but i've heard they make huge differences in making the car more responsive and predictable when drifting and stuff.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
