Gday ,

Heres a quick explanation of the problem !

R34 GTR non V spec 42,000kms , having issues with speeds above 80 kms around bends , as i turn into a large sweeping bend everything feels sweet and smooth , then about half way around the bend the car will swing in harder as if there was a massive full eski in the back that has slid across , cause me to over-correct my direction and hit the brakes , i almost lost control a few weekends ago through some bends .

This happens in both left and right turns ,Chassis is perfect , tyres are new , car has really genuine low kms which also makes me think its not rear end bushes .

Any help would be great , i know as per usual i owe everyone a BJ .

THANKS

Mark

could be worn bushes or possibly HICAS. even if the car only has 42,000kms (and in reality it could have 100,000ksm and have been well cared for) it's still going to be near 10 years old so many bushes will be due for replacement.

only real way to find this problem is get it up on a hoist and checked out. could also be broken swaybar link or disconected swaybar (same result).

Mine did a not dissimilar thing - easiest check is the rear sway bar bushes & more particularly the drop links. If there is slop in them chances are that is your problem.

my bet is the ball joints on the rear hubs that the HICAS connects to. Or possibly wheel alignment, have you had it checked?

either way, take it to a suspension shop, it is almost certainly a bush or joint problem.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
