This is the first car i have had with severe oversteer. I want to reduce it!!

Its got Tein NR suspension, rides very firm, i feel this maybe the cause. Also 17*9 at the rears with 255/40/17 which mean it should hang on, but it doesnt, any good throttle will send the rear out, i might try reducing the back tyre pressures to reduce it.

Anyone elses opinion.

you only reduce ur tyre pressure if you, say driving a 4WD on a sandy beach so your tyre didn't sink.

Or, you go to drag race and need a little tyre wall flex so you get more grip on hard (straight) launch, not just bumping around the track.

For anything else, pump up your tyres with enough pressure in it, coz they're good for corner handling and less rolling resistance will save fuel.

youll need to do some more research. My konis are adjustable, but you have to remove the shock, fully compress it, and rotate the rod to adjust the damping, there are no external adjusters so they dont LOOK adjustable.

Maybe have a look at your rear camber, and make sure there is no rear toe out as previously suggested. Might have excessive rear camber.

I would even take it to a suspension specialist, get them to look at all the suspension mods and alignment, then drive the car, and work from there.

I've got the whiteline kit with adjustable sway bars, front on hard and the rear in the middle. still find that on fast tight corners (eg turning right at lights at around 60, no traffic around!) it has a tendency to understeer just a little, but then to flip into oversteer without much/any warning. can be rather scary and hard to correct, to the point that i have a little less confidence in the car's handling than i feel i should. the rear end is far less "twitchy" than a lot of rwd cars i have driven, but the way it can just snap out on you with no warning worries me.

Question, i guess, is should i try full soft at the rear sway? the shocks are bilstein all round but not adjustable

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
