Sure is...Saw a mini van tflipped over coming into a round-about in Wangara this afternoon.

Also got a bit side ways in a round-about myself coming into Hillary's, which surprised me in the GT-R as I was in second and doing about 10Km's!!

ive done the same, ive found it to be all the angle of the wheels that causes loss of traction at low speed and revs.

Yeah I lost it turning from Cedric onto Karrinyup, didn't help that I had a skidpan day last week and forgot to let the tyre pressure back down. Felt like I was driving on Ice-skates, finally time for some new good quality tyres and getting rid of the compliance tyres :P yes.. i've had them on for almost a year.. should be good going from 17's with compliance tyres to 18 inch works with some decent rubber on them =)

What do you mean by lost it? you swapped ends?

Fair dinkum, the last time I swapped ends on the street was over a decade ago in my old HZ Prem when I hit a patch of oil in the middle of an intersection, and anyone that knows me knows how I drive, I'm not shy :O

More driver training for you kids!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
