Hey guys, i have done several searchs, but nothing really stands out as an answer to my question.

I was at an advance driving day recently where the instructor pointed out an issue with my car. Now, just to be clear, the car has had this issue since me owning the car so i did not know any better.

When braking very hard before turn-in (just before ABS kicks in), the steering goes really heavy. Not just heavy, but you can't turn the wheels heavy. As you could imagine, fighting against the steering makes for a much harder car to drive and is very tiring. My car is basicly stock when it comes to mechanical, just a power fc. I have had a bit of suspension work done, nothing crazy, just a decent street setup. And yes, i still have HICAS....

I had a drive of the instructors car (also an R32 GTR) of which was so much better. The difference was amazing.

I am hoping that since the people in the motorsport section actually drive your cars properly, someone may have come accross this issue before.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Donnan

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
