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 :)

wow.. thats scary lol. lucky everything ended up ok.

500 hp is insane man, and ur tuning it more..

im after that sorta power eventually. was it alot of money,work,hassels ?.

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 :)

ohh man.. those are the n1 turbos that i want ( drools ) ... i heard the -5's can ahndle more power then the -7's

have u ran it down the track yet ? quater mile?

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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
