heya

maybe i'm just paranoid but do any of you guys experience the back sliding a bit (oversteer?) when going 90 degrees at medium/large sized roundabouts at about 50-60km/h?

just wanted to know whether it is normal or whether the problem popped up recently (didnt really noticed it) until the heavy rain few days ago

thanks

edit: i've read that this is due to HICAS?

They say the best control system ever is the one between your ears:)  When driving make sure the brain stays connected to the right foot:)

Thats fine, but unfortunately in my car there is a loose nut behind the wheel

LOL...well thats funny, mine comes with a tool behind the wheel.  

What came first the tool or the loose nut:confused:

Well that all depends on if the nut became loose, or was loose to start with doesnt it.

Also remember that if you haven't had much rain lately and then you get a downpour that the road will be greasy and slippery until all the crap is washed away.

Gosh, I hope it rains soon, so some of the crap on this thread gets washed away. :wassup: :wassup: :wassup: :wassup:

To add some more fuel to the fire.

I find it really hard to induce oversteer on a corner at those speeds unless I really give it a hell of a lot of throttle. But it has a lot to do with suspension setup and tyres etc. Maybe your tyres are starting to get worn on the inside? I noticed a lot more oversteer when my old Toyos were getting a bit thin on the inside.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
