yeh, parhaps i should explain myself.... tried to adjust the attitude of car mid corner and touched brakes a little too hard.....therefore went into a spin.... ask Neil for more info... he had front row seats to the whole shebang

Nick, book yourself in for the 17th of July, we are going to hit Q.R. A great place to learn about car control at high speed with little fear of hitting anything. Plenty of notice. Save those $$$ and get some new tyres! Skidpan day should be in August, don't miss that either. Tip of the day: Never hit the brakes hard mid corner unless you have already passed the point of no return and are just trying to minimise the damage by trying to slow up a bit.

hmmm pan sounds fun.... what happens at a pan anyway?? all i know is people go nuts and drive over water+diesel.... :confused:

Yeah, you go nuts but with water and diesel it means everything happens in slow motion so you should learn better steering control/throttle control. It hasn't helped me yet, I spend too much time last time facing the wrong way!

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
