Gts-t Rear Wheel Drive

[Sonic speed]

Hey all,

Was just wondering with the GTS-T's (R33's) if they spin the back wheels alot? As in what would you expect the wheels to start slipping out at from a take off? Would it only do it if you were feeding it on takeoff?

Thanks.

um ok weird topic.

the wheels are gonna spin, it just depends on your skill and throttle/clutch position to stop that.

and when it is spinnin, be careful its a r200 diff. u will notice it will turn to one side.=dangerous

If you want a car that doesnt wheelspin buy a hyundi exel.

Skylines tend to have traction issues, especially when modified so if you dont want wheelspin i'd suggest buying something else

The wheels won't spin if you don't put your foot down. Same with any other car.

my stock bunky r33 gtst (160rwhp, 235 wide rear tyres) = wont break traction in 1st coming onto boost (ie, just engage the clutch then flooring it from 1500rpm, no dropping the clutch)

my bros r33 gtst with basic mods (280rwho, 265 wide rear tyres) = will break traction coming onto boost in 2nd gear

mates r33gtst with a few more mods (400rwhp, 265 wide rear tyres) = will break traction coming onto boost in 3rd gear

it all depends how you drive, even my bunky gtst will smoke 2nd gear if i drop the clutch

hope that helps

are u talking about normal driving? or dragracing? or... they will only spin if u make them, if u have a heavy duty clutch and road is wet it will like to spin piece of pi$$ y do u ask?

If you want a car that doesnt wheelspin buy a hyundi exel.

or a gtr

Basic car control 101 - if you know how to drive, a stock car wont 'spin the wheels'

Its what they teach you when you get your license - car control.

you will have problems if you have a BINARY right foot.

or a gtr

I was going to say that, but I figured if you cant handle a Gts-t because of a bit of wheelspin you shouldnt be driving a GTR so suggested something a little safer lol

On topic, I have found that all the Gts-t's & GT-T's i've come across have had traction problems if your trying do get a good time at the drags even when relatively stock. But if you drive them like a normal car they are quite easy to drive and grip ok. Quality tyres make a HUGE difference in my experience too

Put some snow tyres on and go driving in the rain

Good fun...

Use to have them on my 17s and it certainly tought me to be careful driving !

or a gtr

I can get my GTR to wheelspin off the line. Drifting would be possible too.

Its got 220awkw, 255 40 r17 tyres all round and diffs/clutch upgraded.

had my car for 2 months now, tyres are at about <50%!!

alot of traction issuses when just full throttling in the wet and hitting boost < stock car except exhaust!

but i've found throttle control is really important in the wet!!

[R338OY]

You seem worried about losing traction???

Go use a skidpan to learn about throttle-steer and weight shifting.

Otherwise get some wider tires to maximise your traction threshold.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

when you drive a line long enough you will know when the car will break traction and how it will, it is the driver not the car so you should be asking yourself do you have enough self control not to break traction.

if you have a good set of tyres and an ounce of common sense you should be right.

[kralster]

umm the wheels need to spin otherwise the car would be stationary.

[TTT]

so the plane does take off?

[Scratch]

tyre pressures being set properly helps..

[POLICE]

I set mine to 35 all around, too much, too little?

you will have problems if you have a BINARY right foot.

I have that problem seems to also have affected my clutch foot too..
