What Will Help Increase My Turning Circle ?

[3LGODZILA]

i know SFA when it comes to the suspension and handling side of things, so as most of use probably know the turning circle in a 33 is shyte i cant even do a u-turn in some tight streets, what aftermarket mods will help this? can i adjust anything?

rough prices on parts would be nice, and also will a hicas lock bar make it much worse then it alredy is?

how often do you need to do a tight turn anyways? will the cost in mods and labour justify it all? Im no expert but i think trying to increase your turning circle will probably adversly affect your handling which you use more of..I may be wrong. I have no problems with my 33. If I need to do a tight turn I come to a complete stop then full lock. Sometimes I surprise myself that I actually make it in one go when I do a U-turn in small steets.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm not much real help, but I've seen it done for drift cars... so it can be done. However, it wasn't for a skyline. Speak to a suspension shop that sets up drift cars, if anyone's going to know anything about it, it'd be them. I'd start there.

tie rods. look into it. i think you can get spacers on the cheap for more lock, or adjustable ones for a less dodgy solution. check the NS.com classifieds. that is the extent of my knowledge. hope it helps

Wouldn't you want to reduce your turning circle by turning tighter?

Simple.

Step 1: turn steering wheel full lock.

Step 2: raise RPM sufficiently.

Step 3: drop clutch.

Step 4: smile as your turning circle is reduced to almost nothing!

Even more effective with a decent LSD

Lock spacers can help with this. Will only cost $20 plus a wheel alignment once you have installed them.

Heaps of placers sell them but I just grabbed some URAS ones off Trent - http://www.statustuning.com/?section=contact

As for your other question a hicas lock bar will not change anything with your turning circle.

Adjust both your rear wheels with lock to the left as much as you can ....This will reduce turning circle to the right but increase it to the left. It will be awesome for U-turns though which solves your dilema!!..(If you're in the US though make sure you adjust your rears with lock to the right though...)

I really am a solutions man....

and get a spin turn knob.. makes 3 point turns effortless.

ahh the old zero-point turn! lol this is such a good idea

decrease it, increasing it would make it a more -pointed turn

GKTECH sells tie rod spacers rather cheaply

what... you dont have a handbrake?

[Samon]

what... you dont have a handbrake?

Yeah... the handbrake is good in a FWD car, I use mine all the time in the Lancer, but on a RWD power oversteer is much more fun

get a locked diff!

i think nengun also sells longer tie rods ..
