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.

next time it happens, just stick your hand out the window and yell out

"DDDDDDDOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

KOOOMANNNGIII ATTACKKKKK!

srsly tho, i run the same tryes (dunlop lemans lm702 245/40/18) and with 5/7 coils, struts, sways, castor, camber, hicas lock and 265rwkw i'm fine...

it's ALL in the driving, not the car

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

  • 2 weeks later...

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....

    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • 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.
