Was driving my R33GTR to get tuned today, going around a 65kph corner on a wet road doing about 100kph and the car let go pretty hard fish-tailing to the right for about 40m then fish-tailed to the left for about another 50m while staring at the roadbarrier about 30cm from the front/side of the car. scarey.

Dont know if the hicas saved me, or made it worse but nearlly shat myself.

Just goes to show that your not bullet proof in these cars aye.

I dont think its going to help that my mechanic is cranking the power up from 500hp to over 600 either.

oh well thought i would share that :)

ha yeah alot of money aye, yeah its running -5's so they are capable of alot more, looking back on it now i would have gone for the -7's, but seen i have never been in a car with them maybe i should keep my trap shut :)

yeah they can handle more power, but you really want to figure out what you want, i kinda miss the low down power of the factory turbos, the -5's are good to keep pulling all the way up the rev range.... no not yet down the quarter mile yet, been down the 1/8 mile and beat a GT4O, new supercharged shelby cobra etc

First thing first.

Your tyres were either cold or not suited for wet weather.

You may have also under-estimated dust or rocks in this corner, they don't help with grip.

Even a good set of wet weather tyres not warmed up will get you all messy in the wet.

The 4WS also has its down falls...giving you .sometimes a nasty kick to one side.

Unfortunately it is the side you are sliding towards......lol

And yes...just because your driving a GTR does not make you safe.

The car will bite you when you least expect it.

Drive safely until you get on a track with some sliding room......then you will see how good they are.

Oh the -5's need, cams, cam gears, larger injectors and better fuel pump.

Not to mention a a after market computer with a tuner that knows what he is doing to get a great response from.

-7's would have given up the puff a long time ago for me.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
