R32 Gtr Heavy Steering Under Brakes

[Donnan]

Hey guys, i have done several searchs, but nothing really stands out as an answer to my question.

I was at an advance driving day recently where the instructor pointed out an issue with my car. Now, just to be clear, the car has had this issue since me owning the car so i did not know any better.

When braking very hard before turn-in (just before ABS kicks in), the steering goes really heavy. Not just heavy, but you can't turn the wheels heavy. As you could imagine, fighting against the steering makes for a much harder car to drive and is very tiring. My car is basicly stock when it comes to mechanical, just a power fc. I have had a bit of suspension work done, nothing crazy, just a decent street setup. And yes, i still have HICAS....

I had a drive of the instructors car (also an R32 GTR) of which was so much better. The difference was amazing.

I am hoping that since the people in the motorsport section actually drive your cars properly, someone may have come accross this issue before.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Sounds for all the world like something is binding in the front end. Get it up on a hoist & have a look.
