man i have 255s nankangs, 300kws and stock diff and besides the crabing my traction is pretty good, I don't understand how so many people have so many problems ... rondolfPineapples will make it ride worse but may make it grip a little better

Offset has nothing to do with it

Your tyres are fine.

If your suspension is too hard its possibly an issue..

Dammit, Diff time it is then. Here comes another 5 hours searching whats good and what fits :/

GTS-4 Coupe 2498cc Petrol 5MT FULL4WD - Standard Feature Limited slip differential

pineapples can be set up for different purposes

A car that shudders and chirps when on full lock mean what diff? casue that what mine does,

After a bit of reading r33s2 A LSD was factory.

I always thought it was my ATTESSA doing the chipring on full lock ;/

if you put more throttle in when it shudders does it then go away?

if so... mechanical LSD.. usually shudders when on light load turning. more throttle or in neutral should stop it shuddering

Ok the plan is to get the rear suspension looked over inc ball joints and Hicas rack ends . If it comes up ok its getting a lock bar fitted soon and an alignment probably at the same time . SK said to check where the "pinapples" were fitted as in above or below the subframe , he said there is three possible settings to enhance rear grip normal or drift and its to do with sumframe angles . Drift is useless to me so will look at the normal or rear squat/grip setting .

The rear tyre has worn a little more on the nearside which people tell me is not unusual , they have worn further that I'd have though but are easily legal . I suspect alignment and or the single sided viscous coupling has had some say in this .

I spoke to Gary about size vs best technology and with 10mm the difference he reckons go with the tech so looking at a pair of Pilot Super Sports in 245/45/17 . I really wish Michelin did these in 255/40 but thats life .

Unless you are getting those REALLY cheap I'd suggest Federal RSR.

Pilot Super Sports on the water and lock bar fitted today . They found a few things loose in the nearside rear links but the front was spot on five years and 14k after being fitted . It feels different without Hicas steering the rear , I think it tried to make the driver feel that these cars were agile without necessarily being agile . I have an old copy of Wheels or Motor kicking around that had a write up of Jim Richards first drives of the R32 GTR roads cars that I think ended up as racers . From memory he said that Hicas made the cars easier to drive but not faster . I just wanted my cars inputs to be mine and if I can lose a bit of weight and have it predictable so much the better .

Function is everything , cheers A .

Actually must search for a DIY of how to get at that HICAS dash light and make it mind its own business . I dont suppose the wiring can be doctored at the Hicas computer to make is go away ?

On an R32, the trick to disable HICAS (and the light) without having to dismantle anything else was just to pull the smaller of the two loom plugs from the HICAS computer. Pull the big one and things went bad. But the small one would lock the HICAS rack and not put a light up on the dash. You could try that on the R33, even though the systems aren't the same.

The less easy but still easy way is to simply take the globe out.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
