ok, as I said I don't push my car hard on road, I drive carefully and slowly in wet. Maybe it got something to do with the suspension, the Buddyclub N+ has a quite stiff spring rates, front 10, rear 8.

ouch at that pickup truck pic.

I know where your coming from and its not really your driving style like others have pointed out. Its your setup, thats all. Stiff suss wont see you going sideways unpredictably at really low k's but it is one of many factors, your camber, your tyre, and the amount of surface contact. get em all sorted out and you should have no drama other than your right foot. I addressed these issues and the problems gone away and I'm still running my stiff tiens.

next time it happens, just stick your hand out the window and yell out

"DDDDDDDOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

KOOOMANNNGIII ATTACKKKKK!

srsly tho, i run the same tryes (dunlop lemans lm702 245/40/18) and with 5/7 coils, struts, sways, castor, camber, hicas lock and 265rwkw i'm fine...

it's ALL in the driving, not the car

Ahem

the car starts to "Drift"....sometimes in a hurry right turn

Thanks for coming.

I've driven a modified 5.0L Commodore SS auto with Goodyear F1s on the front and retreads on the back in the wet, and managed to not spin out. I can guarantee that car would have less wet weather rear grip, and a shedload more torque that is a lot less predictable in its delivery.

I don't have the castor, camber kits, I will get the camber kits see if make a different, if it still does the same thing, then i must be a bad driver

  • 2 weeks later...

Coilovers are a contributor to this, i also had to much camber as i was running 18x10's with a big ofset, granted it was very fun coz all i had to do was turn the wheel in the wet and it would slide out nicely no matter what tyres i had on there... also having a light tuned RB26 mad the slides last :P its just a fact of life with these sorts of cars especially with coilovers +to much camber. its no fun to just putt around doing 20 in the rain so let it slide and just enjoy the ride

Its in the right foot......plenty of people drive around with this sort of HP at the rears only ( My VU ( ss ute ) is 700hp and over 1000nm rear wheel drive and not much weight in the back without the spare etc.... was a brilliant car to learn propper throttle control especially in the wet biggest issues where making a turn out of a side street uphill in the wet the rears would just spin and spin and it was almost impossible to get traction but after some proper practice and some forced self control....... it drives fine.

Tuning and changing your suspension may well help but learn to control what you have got appropriately first....

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
