learn throttle control in the wet lol, I can drive with the shitest tyres that were 100 a side and with 270kw I can make it not slide in the wet just control your foot.

this, best answer you'll get

ps. u were @ oct winton drift?

Moved here...

Before this totally goes off the rails, which inevitable...

I can spin the tyres in a KE Ford Laser...

It would be lucky to have what, 40fwkw? Used to be able to have it wheel spinning into 3rd which whilst amusing, was rather pointless.

So have a think about that. Totally comes down to throttle control. If you expect a 190rwkw car to have traction in the wet, then you are very naive good sir.

Any car will spin the wheels in the wet if you force it.

Failing that, I would suggest using 99% throttle instead of 100%. That'll fix it.

yeh 33 no front bar was me :P

lol nismoid my mate had one of those lasers we got a great run on chapel one night raining lined up the tram lines epic lols all the way to d'nong road from just after jam factory.. should note was a loooooooooooooooooong time ago.

but there is nothing like the lols you get out of shitb0x cars.

Come on !! You're kidding me. There are so many possibilities for a joke here I just don't know where to start. So I'll try to be serious and just say that perhaps a you should sit on your lounge at home and take your shoes off. See that thing at the end of your leg ? That's a foot. Now, see the little sausage type thingy jiggys coming off your foot ? They're toes. OK, try if you can to wiggle your toes. Good, good. Do that every night for a week and when you have full control of the nerves from your brain to your toes just take a full day off and rest.

Ok, here we go, the big day. I want you to see if you can control the movement of your right foot. Woe, woe, easy now, it may be a little out of control at first since you have never tied to control it before. Try some small rotations at first then after a month or so build up to some up down movements. I find hanging your tongue out of your mouth may help stabilise the whole area though drooling can be a problem. Give this maybe twelve months and only then will the nerves between your brain and foot be fully functional. You may now grab the keys to your new Hyundai Getz and try to drive like a member of the human race. :P

the thing that concerns me most is your toes look like sausages :(

A Mate & I both had one each, brought em @ the same time as well...

A manual one was simply the most amusing, one of the funniest cars i have owned - I remember going down the GOR in it, doing 60-80km/h around some of the corners was hilarious with the body roll and tyre squeal. It almost made the GOR 100x better considering you can never open a fast skyline up safely these days in those parts haha.

yerrhh gotta be manual scary to think they were cutting edge at some point in history i miss having crap cars that you can slam into gutters not bother locking not bother servicing an that..

serious cars are too serious

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
