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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
