And yes Kinks, i just witnessed my mate slide off a bank into three trees yesterday in his Alfa 33, because he accelerated mid corner, car is totaled and he is lucky he or anyone else wasn't hurt. I was behind him in my MX6, very scary. I do enjoy to occasionally boost, but i wouldnt put my self in a situation where i was risking running such a beautiful car (R33) off the road :( And im very keen to take an advanced driving course, as soon as i can afford it lol

Oh and its a Type-M, i googled for ages and could not find any difference between a Type-M and a non Type-M, is there any difference at all?

He probably did it a few grand worth of improvement, if it's an Alfa ;)

The whole type M non-type M thing is all just bullshit.. some people reckon body kit = type m. if you have a 2.5L turbo with a manual then you are driving an awesome car. everything else is just an option that the original owner either ticked or didn't tick when they bought the car.

I understand what you're saying here, but on a standard skyline the nose will push wide first, ie they are still set up to understeer first assuming you dont put the boot into it.

bull shit! what car are you driving? My car with stock standard ORIGINAL suspension (34,000km genuine k's) and wheels/tyres will flick the tail out before even thinking about understeering. it is VERY tail happy on the throttle, perfectly controllable and a joy to drive but I have never understeered in it. you would have to go ridiculously quick into a corner for it to plough on, and never on the throttle. throttle = tail out. end of story.

don't accelerate around corners

accelerate before the corner, flick the wheel and keep the boot in ;)

so you've seen how i drive! :)

just remember your manners when talking to police after you get pulled over.. Might make all the difference.

cops have been no worse for me than in any other car. i have never been anything but polite to them and if you pass the attitude check they will treat you like a human being in return.

if you go off half cocked like your average lebbo f**kwit "I wasn't doing nuffink!!" (sorry to stereotype) then you get what you deserve.

I said AS LONG AS you don't put the boot in. Turn in at speed with no throttle, and the car will understeer. Which is what it should do.

Also I wouldn't call stock suspension a joy to drive.. its relatively comfortable but much too soft and squidgy for my tastes.

But as I'm getting off topic, I'll shut up.

any car will do that. it's physics. even a F1 car will understeer if you go into a corner too fast. fwd cars can be prone to lift off oversteer, but so can rwd cars.

any half powerful rwd car will slide the tail out if you boot it mid corner as well, whether it be a skyline or a commodore. but a stock turbo skyline isn't exactly anything be scared of. even up around 200kw they are still pretty ordinary and unless it's wet or you have really crappy tyres, booting it round a corner in 2nd gear or higher isn't going to end badly unless you boot it then really start swinging on the wheel to try and get the back to kick out.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
