shudder on hard cornering

[Jase]

I just bought an R32 GTR which is very fantastic, I assume because it is 1992 it doesn't have ATTESSA-ETS Pro just the mechanical ATTESSA system

I have found that in hard cornering on poor or rutted bitumen roads, the ride seems to be a bit bumpy and shuddery, has anyone had that experience with standard springs and shocks?

is this unusual

TIA

well u can expect bumpiness on poor bitumen roads, how bout on smooth roads ?

[Jase]

I'm not sure if its the road surface or something the car is doing - it could be either

I think I will have to push it a bit harder

its doesn't lose traction but shudders, I thought it might be the drivetrain making adjustments

[Duncan]

how is the condition of your shocks? maybe they're worn and not damping the springs enough

[Craved]

read an srticle on a gtr with exact same issue, they concluded that it was that the shocks were too hard for the springs thus not allowing them to take the full forc e of the bump!!!

if adjustable shocks etc, try a few different settings!!!

[Jase]

thanks for your help - I thought it could be HICAS as well

I will have to do some more investigation

[Jase]

have done some more reading - do you think you would need to get wheel alignments done (front & back) when changing from lowered springs and shocks to standard springs and shocks?

maybe that has affected HICAS as well?

the shudder to me sounds like the tires are skipping over the road. do you experiance under steer when this happens?

no offence intended but you might find that car was never intended to drive that way on those surfaces. maybe some less agresive driving on those surfaces will stop that prob. and its free.

My 32 GTR does the same type fo thing - can't drive it quick while cornering...Shocks are leaking apparently and the diff is 'tight'....I've ordered some Tein's and all new bushes etc Hopefully it fixes it.
