Hey Guys

I have a GTS-T Skyline, With and ARC intercooler, full exhaust BOV and After market adujstableSupspension (supposed to be worth $3000) I also suspect the car has cams and an Aftermarket computer but havn't had a chance to have a look as I just bought it.

I have stock wheels, When I take off ON A STRAIGHT LINE and put my foot down car has tranction however when I change into Second the car is almost side ways (which is quite fun but it just seems too easy for the car to loose traction)

Is there anything I can do to avoid this from occuring (besides taking my foot off the pedal),

Sorry if im asking dumb questions, this is the first turbo I have had but have driven a few previously and none have done that Esp on a straight line, could this be because of the power of the skyline ?? or the suspension ?? any feedback would be great.

Thanks

I would suggest that your suspension is very firm and/or your tyres are not so good. check if they are damper adjustable, but even then if your suspension is adjustable and your tyres are no good you will not get good traction...so invest in some good rubber

Im not worried about the corners as that is excepted, its when im on a straight line, i put my foot down changed and 5 1/2 grand and as soon as i punched second the ass came out to the right. Its as if it was raining but it was dry as.

it could be the tyres as the car was sitting for a year and a half, without being driven so maybe the tyres got hard or something ..???

How about you stop "punching second" and bring the clutch up a little slower (or engaging the throttle a little slower) once you've selected second? What's wrong with backing off the throttle when you change gear, like you're meant to?

You're more likely to light up your tyres in first gear than second. Its simple physics. If you've got traction in first gear, then its not (in itself) a tyre / suspension problem. Its sounding more like the problem is you.

Aside from that, run a set of super soft tyres with low air pressure and dial your rear dampers as softly as possible. Check your wheel alignment. Turn down the power.

his right, i can choose to loose traction in first or not, but in the end im still doing the same speed

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
