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!

Hope this helps to explain what I am trying to explain.

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'm guessing Swirl = Spool? :laugh:

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
