Gtr Slip Slide

[donkeypunch]

Was driving my R33GTR to get tuned today, going around a 65kph corner on a wet road doing about 100kph and the car let go pretty hard fish-tailing to the right for about 40m then fish-tailed to the left for about another 50m while staring at the roadbarrier about 30cm from the front/side of the car. scarey.

Dont know if the hicas saved me, or made it worse but nearlly shat myself.

Just goes to show that your not bullet proof in these cars aye.

I dont think its going to help that my mechanic is cranking the power up from 500hp to over 600 either.

oh well thought i would share that

HICAS??? i think you mean ATTESA?

HICAS would probably throw you into the kerb then kick you afew times.

ha yeah alot of money aye, yeah its running -5's so they are capable of alot more, looking back on it now i would have gone for the -7's, but seen i have never been in a car with them maybe i should keep my trap shut

yeah they can handle more power, but you really want to figure out what you want, i kinda miss the low down power of the factory turbos, the -5's are good to keep pulling all the way up the rev range.... no not yet down the quarter mile yet, been down the 1/8 mile and beat a GT4O, new supercharged shelby cobra etc

dayuum.. very nice man

First thing first.

Your tyres were either cold or not suited for wet weather.

You may have also under-estimated dust or rocks in this corner, they don't help with grip.

Even a good set of wet weather tyres not warmed up will get you all messy in the wet.

The 4WS also has its down falls...giving you .sometimes a nasty kick to one side.

Unfortunately it is the side you are sliding towards......lol

And yes...just because your driving a GTR does not make you safe.

The car will bite you when you least expect it.

Drive safely until you get on a track with some sliding room......then you will see how good they are.

Oh the -5's need, cams, cam gears, larger injectors and better fuel pump.

Not to mention a a after market computer with a tuner that knows what he is doing to get a great response from.

-7's would have given up the puff a long time ago for me.

[Haysey]

maybe you should learn to control a 500hp car before you get it increased more

[VB-]

so you cant handle 500hp, and thought it would be a good idea to get 100+ more.....

ninja edit - damn beaten to it!
