The black R34 could have been me. Havent lived in Canberra long but yet to see another black 34. Seen heaps of Skylines around, wish I knew about this thread earlier on.

(since I haven't seen you post before) WELCOME! haha I've seen a couple of black GT-Ts around, though not very frequently at all. We've got a couple of yellow ones, few white ones, few silver ones...not sure what other colour R34s I might have seen around though.

I have gone sideways at a round-a-bout. Needless to say, I did 40km/h the rest of the way home. I'll be curious to know if your revs went to redline which then made your turbo swirl you around more or if you clutched the whole time.

(I hope that made sense, because I don't even know what I said :D )

:laugh: turbo swirl

Usually when people get sideways by accident, it's because it's wet and they haven't learnt trottle control in a powerful rear wheel drive car.

My interests quote allows me to look silly ! :(

Given it's wet though, your tires would spin a lot faster (No traction) so your revs would be like shooting up a lot quicker given you'd be accelerating to give you spin (kinda). So when I did it in my non turbo Datsun Stanza with rally spec wheels on the back (Hectic) I red lined in half a second due to no friction to grab the tires still. So, I was wondering what it would be like with a turbo giving all that power to the rear wheels and if you'd spin like a crazy man or what.

I seriously need to go into paint to try and make sense of myself haha.

Edit: I made a great paint drawing to describe what I mean, but work won't let me upload it :( Lucky the weekend is coming up. I shall bring my paint skills out again :D

If you accelerate normally or carefully, your tyres shouldn't spin at all.... that's all I'm saying..... it's when people plant it and don't have a lot of experience. Or perhaps if your tyres are total shit lol.

Hahaha YES we need MS paint here!

Hopefully the review mirror helps explain which way you're facing on the road.

My original question was... would that happen above if you slammed your foot down because of the turbo. (I've only spun a non turbo at a round-a-bout and I spun fairly quick.. I'm imagining how quick your RPM would redline because of the turbo).

I'm so confusing myself again!

You would bounce off the rev limiter, bounch off the gutter, crap yourself and have a look on your face like this.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
