Water sitting on the road right in your tyre line, chances are it was a hot day previously and rained which makes the surface really slippery or a truck spilled a little diesel down around the bend earlier.

Traction control only works under power on the driven wheels, ABS only works under braking, stability control only works on slight losses, once it goes big like that, Gods will for you to live kicks in. :D

Read the road better next time.

As we use to say in Rally, 9 out of 10 bends can be taken faster than you think they can, its that 1 out of 10 that you need to worry about.

You had your 1 out of 10......:)

I drive on that road every day too, 65km/h on corner entry in the wet seems a bit quick especially with tyres you're not intimately familiar with.

All the electronics in the world won't help you if you simply don't have enough traction to make the corner, and you should be driving around with more margin in hand.

Also, some of the bitumen on that road (plus where it joins the main road at the top of the hill) is REALLY polished and REALLY slippery in the wet.

TL;DR: Slow down, Fangio :)

Yep, absolutely agree.

I agree with that. :(

Man they had some crazy drivers in the 70's...

Some good cameras though!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      GTR front looks good. If you don't like it, I'll swap you a rolling shell R33 for it. Give you a fresh base to start with.

      soon I also prefer the old look. At least I have more clearance for wheels up front now.

      @PranK I think a few links in the original post need fixing...

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
