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.

    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
    • +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
