R32 Gts-4 Handling

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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
