Been getting to know my R32 GTS-4. I don't know if this is normal or not, but when I give it a boot full around a corner, the front suspension shudders (kinda) like a bastard -

I 'think' this may be the ATESSA kicking in - but not sure - I have never driven or been in a GTS-4 or GTR when gunning it round a corner - so I thought I would ask the question.

I guess I icould try pulling the fuse and seeing what happens then.

I gotta say though - I reckon the handling of the R32 is better than my old R33 - I really like the R32 - they seem to be more nimble, more responsive, and generally have more feel to them.

How hard are you going thru the corner???? Are you winding more steering lock on then you would have thought necessary. I have been in a few GTRs that when you have gone in too hot and got a bit of understeer, when you give it a boot and the AWD kicks in you get a shudder in the front end , its quite violent understeer.

Has only ever happened on the track though ojn slow 2nd gear corners...so how hard are you punting the poor thing. :)

Come on say it...the RB20 is a POWAH HOUSE :(

Yeah - say I punt it though a big roundabout in 2nd - I have it a boot load to try and get the front to pull me through - I think the atessa kisks in , it understeers and the front shudders - Seems to pull through OK but.

I love the RB20 - sweet revving donk !

No wheel allignment yet.

Might be worn shocks - but the ride under normal conditions is excellent. Maybe I am just giving it too much stick. It defenitely pull you out of the corner and the front/rear load guage kicks in.

The car has ABS maybe it is something to do with that as the front wheels do break traction a little during the corner punt.

6500 rmp launches are fun - I reckon my 60 ft times at the drags will be heaps better thatn the old car. ha ha ha

It's a fun car - nothing like a Skyline - IT's good to be back in one..

I like that......"nothing like a Skyline"

We all know 32 GTS's are just a bastard Silvia :P

To be honest I don't notice any shudder fom the front in the GTR, and I pull all sorts of stupid stuff when not in the public eye. Power off oversteer through a roundabout near home with plenty of boot on the way out. There is a little shudder on the front lighting them up in the wet in second though.

yeah, that doesn't sound normal to me. even on track in my GTR there is no 'shudder' when the attessa starts driverting torque to the front. could be an ABS problem though?

I havent' noticed any shuddering from the font end of my GTR on the road or track, but at the skid pan in the wet it did when I understeered.

get an alignment and maybe time for new shocks, has all the suspension been checked out? like bushes and stuff

cheers

mark :D

any pics of your car too? love R32's

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
