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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
