The rear is Azenis. Not as bad but not convinced any more either.

So, you're saying I need more wings?

Cars not here, my wife has it atm. But I'm 90% sure they're Ziex. I have 4 brand new Conti's on my Bora (currently lifeless in my driveway) but they're slightly too big (225 > 215) which sucks as I'd love to swap them over.

HOLE E CRAP

The video looks so pedestrian ... It felt like a lot longer.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks. It's been so long since I've lost it in the wet I totally flipped out (had kids in the car too.) I'll post vid once I've gotten it off my dash cam.

Of course. Good idea though. I did that in my Bora a few times because I was wary of the abs. If it's still raining tomorrow I'll take it somewhere local and not public. Thanks

Ok, you seem very calm. Am I worrying too much about this? Ie, just slow down in future?

No, not boring at all. Its the stuff that I've pretended to know about forever. So, as my car is supposed to have ESC and the video below shows a similar model being tested, this tells me that its potentially tyres? If the back came around, do we blame the rear? They are older and Falkens (lots of tread) while the front are newer Hankooks.

Wow, quite the comprehensive post!! I didn't read all of it but it looks good!

Welcome 4wdnoob! Always welcoming our British folk. Looks like you've had quite the history! Enjoy the site.

That looks great!! Welcome!

Same in what way? None of them have the same upholstery / stitching but after owning 3 x R33's myself (incl GTR's) I reckon they'd all be interchangeable.

Welcome to the forums. You'd be best off asking your q in the Skyline forum here; http://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/79-vehicle-specific-discussion/ Your car looks great!

Hi All, I was driving in my 3 today in the pouring rain. I came to a corner that I have gone around no less than eleventy billion times but this time my little 3 just refused to have traction. On approach to the right hander which is a comfortable 50kph corner and you can easily get round at 65 odd without pushing, I just lost the back end. I was doing 60 and have reviewed my dash cam footage (which looks pissy in comparison to how I had remembered it)... The front lost everything, I'm not sure if it locked up but I don't remember it pulsing or any ABS interference. The back continued to come around until the front drivers wheel went over the medium (with a big crunch) which is when I regained control and drove back over the medium and the remaining 200m to my house. There appears to have been no interference from TCS or ABS at all. The rear just came around (oversteer) and the fronts were (likely) just spinning. My questions are; am I expecting too much from TCS/ABS? If the (front or rear) tyres have shit wet control or if the road has had a spill of some sort, will that just stop any computers from taking control? I am just concerned that nothing happened. The car just control (or I lost control of the car) and nothing came to my aid. If I was in the Bora, 80 separate computers will have analysed and assisted in everything from traction to window winder controls. Is there an issues with the computers in the 3? Should I be concerned? Long winded I know, but it just freaked me out a bit. Thanks guys.
