If a 33GTST is honestly 'too much' for you in the wet when you are driving responsibly then you should hand over your license right now.

The only time i have got a fright from my car is when i'm being silly. Its not the car, is how you drive the thing. END OF STORY

Yeh there is definitely that, but it depends on what kind of road you're on, what kind of suspension you have and what type of tires you have. In the wet, i don't bury my right foot, the car slides on its own alot of the time (not powerslide), and the whole boost thing duznt make it any easier. But thanks for the constructive criticism. :)

Yea i wasnt trying to be a smart ass its just i have a 300kw rwd car and if i want it to go straight it does... If i want it sideways it does...

Even when it was about 250 as a daily driver it was still easy to drive if i wanted it to be :(

Hodl up, i never said that the car was 'too much' for me, just said that the car has a tendency to kick out under no power. Obviously I'm not a pro driver, and mayb its just that my suspension is horrible (don't know what the guy before me has done to it, but it feels weird), but thats just my opinion, and without you ever seeing me drive, you don't have much of a right to say that. Mayb i took this the wrong way, or mayb you did, i don't know, either way, i was just highlighting why my friend crashed so people would stop automatically assuming that he did it whilst hooning. And i tend not to get scared in the car when im being silly since i expect it to happen so I'm ready, i feel its alot worse when you go over an unseen bump while cornering and the car just steps out etc... thats what i don't like about the car, i dont have a problem with controlling it in the wet, its just that you have to be alot more carefull and concentrate alot harder then driving a normal car. I am getting new suspension soon, which will probably fix that. But either way, mayb you are right since I am only 18, and I could do with some more practice.

The point i was trying to make by saying 'driving in the wet is a nightmare' was that at least my car tends to step out a shitload, and i think most drivers (especially young ones), could do with an advanced driving lesson. I would like your opinion on this (im assuming you're older and have probably done something like that before)

Yeh fair enuf, soz i mistook it. I'm starting to think its the tyre/suspension combination, since it used to be fine before, mayb tires just getting worn out. Don't know, my car duznt have all that much power, just got problems with putting it down cuz i havnt touched the suspension since the last owner (im tempted to say the front springs may have been cut:S, either that or he has super lows on front but standard on back, dunno). But jeh abit off track, neways soz for taking it the wrong way, guess i was just pissed off that on skylines australia of all places, people would automatically assume that my friend was hooning around (even though im sure it is a cause of accidents on our roads).

If crashing gave you medals/stripes....youd have a shirt that would look like a squadron commander :(

I never said that i hadn't learn t from my mistakes smart ass... Besides the spray job looks heaps better :)

yea that was my cousin who crashed hes a pannel beater and very mature guy never races or anything like that he keeps his car clean and in top condition hardly any power the road conditions were bad that night the road was icy and when boost hit the car went side ways and he could not bring it back the road was so slipery and if anyone here drives a GTS-T they would understand this he is fine tho! which people on this forum dont really seem to be concered with!

as for someone saying something about to many hero's there were none that makes me laugh i saw a couple hero's leaving the go cart place in a red mazda mx-5 who stoped to look and are probebly the people posting most of the comments on this topic at the end of the day this could have happend to anyone of us!

im with him every week cruising out of all the people on the rd i would say he is one of the most responsible drivers i know and he definantly didnt deserve this to happen to him so thank you for all your concerns.

lmfao that was me and my mate in the mx5 well i was the passenger. it can happen to anyone. just have to be carefull in the wet driveing a high powered car like that.

Borko,

Completely unrelated to the topic, but please try to improve your typing. Reading your posts is hard to do. They are filled with spelling and grammar mistakes as well as lacking proper punctuation. It makes it very difficult to read your posts and understand what you're saying. Taking an extra minute can really make a difference and a well structured sentance/post can also give you a lot more credibility.

Yeh i know, old msn habbits

How much of a difference would have AWD vs RWD in a situation like that helped? I've almost spun out in my car on rainy nights even driving pretty sedately, but I haven't driven a RWD Skyline in the wet before. Would the transfer of torque in that situation with all the tires already losing traction actually help much?

lemme tell u it sucks when u have a powerful turbo rwd car in the wet and you wanna get somewhere quickly but not dangerously... skylines can be a bit skittish in the wet ay and it can catch u out easily enough! well i beleive this to be true with most fast r32's... because they are so light n there is nothing to them :D

Spent a month, lots of fuel and a clutch out on the white medal roads near were i used to live. when there dry they are very much the same as wet road.. when wet.... it took alot of practice to get things right... after that never had any issues.

first of all yea i saw you mx-5 or your mates he was asking me what happend and i was just looking at him cuz he had a big smirk on his face that i would have loved to wipe off the way he was talking was cocky and being a smart ass someone just lost 30g's down the drain ppl like that dont really help the situation..

second why does spelling and grama matteR? what the people on this forum are that un-edicated that they cant read spelling mistakes and gramma? not all of us are A+ english students some of us are from different countries and are still perfecting the english language so give us a break!

It's not that i'm expecting everyone to be perfect with their posts. Especially as I know a large portion of the forum users do not use English as a first language. However in Borko's case it was more a matter of lazy typing. As he confirmed himself.

Yeh i know, old msn habbits

People will make mistakes and it will simply be because they don't know any better, which is fine. It's when people purposely take shortcuts by abbreviating words; or rather just don't bother to punctuate as they type as it saves time. This has been helped along by online chat services and text messaging. But, in a situation like Borko's, he is trying to get a serious point across and just hasn't been bothered to type it out neatly. When you want to be credible with anything you say, say it right. You wouldn't go to an interview in your shorts and thongs for corporate position, as regardless of qualifications or what you say, you would loose your credibility. Same thing applies.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
