ok, as I said I don't push my car hard on road, I drive carefully and slowly in wet. Maybe it got something to do with the suspension, the Buddyclub N+ has a quite stiff spring rates, front 10, rear 8.

ouch at that pickup truck pic.

I know where your coming from and its not really your driving style like others have pointed out. Its your setup, thats all. Stiff suss wont see you going sideways unpredictably at really low k's but it is one of many factors, your camber, your tyre, and the amount of surface contact. get em all sorted out and you should have no drama other than your right foot. I addressed these issues and the problems gone away and I'm still running my stiff tiens.

Ahem

the car starts to "Drift"....sometimes in a hurry right turn

Thanks for coming.

I've driven a modified 5.0L Commodore SS auto with Goodyear F1s on the front and retreads on the back in the wet, and managed to not spin out. I can guarantee that car would have less wet weather rear grip, and a shedload more torque that is a lot less predictable in its delivery.

I don't have the castor, camber kits, I will get the camber kits see if make a different, if it still does the same thing, then i must be a bad driver

Coilovers are a contributor to this, i also had to much camber as i was running 18x10's with a big ofset, granted it was very fun coz all i had to do was turn the wheel in the wet and it would slide out nicely no matter what tyres i had on there... also having a light tuned RB26 mad the slides last :P its just a fact of life with these sorts of cars especially with coilovers +to much camber. its no fun to just putt around doing 20 in the rain so let it slide and just enjoy the ride

Its in the right foot......plenty of people drive around with this sort of HP at the rears only ( My VU ( ss ute ) is 700hp and over 1000nm rear wheel drive and not much weight in the back without the spare etc.... was a brilliant car to learn propper throttle control especially in the wet biggest issues where making a turn out of a side street uphill in the wet the rears would just spin and spin and it was almost impossible to get traction but after some proper practice and some forced self control....... it drives fine.

Tuning and changing your suspension may well help but learn to control what you have got appropriately first....

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
