Loosing Traction At 5700Rpm...230 Rwkw Rb20Det

[Sunkist]

This kid is so hektik I bet he could fry the rears on a huandai excel.

PSHH you think thats all this guy can do? I heard he can do burnouts on the front wheel of his push bike. Even Chuck Norris couldn't do that

ok i'm going to do a semi sensible post, directed at a few people, but i'm too lazy to be specific in who i direct it at other than the OP.

OP, what tyre pressure are you running? if the pressure is too high mixed with poor camber then you will have terrible traction as only a small patch of rubber is actually touching the ground. get a wheel alignment done, get the camber sorted, get some new suspension (don't go stiff coilovers as this will make wheelspin worse, not better)

yes you can get camber adjustable coilovers, however generally it is only the front that is camber adjustable.

what is it with people who claim to be here to learn, then abuse the people who know!? FKN kids these days.

For what its worth, I lose traction @ about 4000 rpm with 230rwkw with 255/35/R18's with 140 treadwear rating.. that arent near the indicators yet.

That said they are about 3+ years old.

looks like i came to the partay too late... ah well...

fwiw i run a 285rwkw rb25 which hits 20psi by 3400rpm. i run greddy coilovers, camber and pineapple bushes on the rear and a 1.5way locker. ( i also run the car @ 320mm)

in the dry i can plant all gears except 1st right through to my 7400 redline without a hint of wheelspin

you are running a less powerful, less responsive setup and have trouble getting traction, so what are the differences?

i run a locked diff, better tyres, less camber, better shocks, and pineapple bushes. i also have correctly matched shock/springs which i'm guessing you dont due to the comment about camber with stock shocks

fix all these and you should have no worries.

on ethanol i run 325rwkw and lose traction in second, but it's easily controlled with my right foot and dosn't bother me

also coilovers will not allow adjustment of castor or camber (with 180sx/s13 front camber adjust being an exception) for this you will need bushes or adjustable upper/lower arms

you need to get your car to a suspension workshop (not pedders)

You are an assett to SAU JJJJS.

I fixed the wheelspin with correct camber adjustment on the rears and coils.

Neg camber on rears was my demon.

Sounds as if yours could be the result of tyre hardening.

Why is it bad to lose traction anyways? Thats what happens when you have a decent amount of power, i can even lose traction with 150rwkw in the dry.

Seriously though buy decent tyres, i had ku36's on my r34 and that helped heaps with traction, before with pirellis it was a handfull even in the dry. With 'normal' street tyres you cant expect flawless acceleration especially not with over 200rwkw.

When you loose it in every gear in a straight line it can get pretty annoying.

I have floorless acceleration with 230rwkw now the camber is fixed. I run turanzas btw.

I bet it wasn't quiet when he was skidding

you really lost traction in "every gear"?

[Willis]

3. Loosing traction in 2nd gear is normal for a modified skyline. You need to not use full throttle - that peddle is analogue, you don't have to go ALL the way like using the buttons on an xbox. This is called throttle modulation.

SOMEONE DELETE THIS THREAD.

I APOLOGISE FOR EVER STARTING IT AND THE OTHER TERRIBLE POSTS AROUND THE SAME TIME.

[PaulosECR33]

its a good topic it shows that there is heaps of people who can help on here and they do try to help, and some ppl just need to listen....
