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.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
