And yes Kinks, i just witnessed my mate slide off a bank into three trees yesterday in his Alfa 33, because he accelerated mid corner, car is totaled and he is lucky he or anyone else wasn't hurt. I was behind him in my MX6, very scary. I do enjoy to occasionally boost, but i wouldnt put my self in a situation where i was risking running such a beautiful car (R33) off the road :( And im very keen to take an advanced driving course, as soon as i can afford it lol

Oh and its a Type-M, i googled for ages and could not find any difference between a Type-M and a non Type-M, is there any difference at all?

He probably did it a few grand worth of improvement, if it's an Alfa ;)

The whole type M non-type M thing is all just bullshit.. some people reckon body kit = type m. if you have a 2.5L turbo with a manual then you are driving an awesome car. everything else is just an option that the original owner either ticked or didn't tick when they bought the car.

I understand what you're saying here, but on a standard skyline the nose will push wide first, ie they are still set up to understeer first assuming you dont put the boot into it.

bull shit! what car are you driving? My car with stock standard ORIGINAL suspension (34,000km genuine k's) and wheels/tyres will flick the tail out before even thinking about understeering. it is VERY tail happy on the throttle, perfectly controllable and a joy to drive but I have never understeered in it. you would have to go ridiculously quick into a corner for it to plough on, and never on the throttle. throttle = tail out. end of story.

don't accelerate around corners

accelerate before the corner, flick the wheel and keep the boot in ;)

so you've seen how i drive! :)

just remember your manners when talking to police after you get pulled over.. Might make all the difference.

cops have been no worse for me than in any other car. i have never been anything but polite to them and if you pass the attitude check they will treat you like a human being in return.

if you go off half cocked like your average lebbo f**kwit "I wasn't doing nuffink!!" (sorry to stereotype) then you get what you deserve.

I said AS LONG AS you don't put the boot in. Turn in at speed with no throttle, and the car will understeer. Which is what it should do.

Also I wouldn't call stock suspension a joy to drive.. its relatively comfortable but much too soft and squidgy for my tastes.

But as I'm getting off topic, I'll shut up.

any car will do that. it's physics. even a F1 car will understeer if you go into a corner too fast. fwd cars can be prone to lift off oversteer, but so can rwd cars.

any half powerful rwd car will slide the tail out if you boot it mid corner as well, whether it be a skyline or a commodore. but a stock turbo skyline isn't exactly anything be scared of. even up around 200kw they are still pretty ordinary and unless it's wet or you have really crappy tyres, booting it round a corner in 2nd gear or higher isn't going to end badly unless you boot it then really start swinging on the wheel to try and get the back to kick out.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
