This kid is so hektik I bet he could fry the rears on a huandai excel. :worship:

PSHH you think thats all this guy can do? I heard he can do burnouts on the front wheel of his push bike. Even Chuck Norris couldn't do that

ok i'm going to do a semi sensible post, directed at a few people, but i'm too lazy to be specific in who i direct it at other than the OP.

OP, what tyre pressure are you running? if the pressure is too high mixed with poor camber then you will have terrible traction as only a small patch of rubber is actually touching the ground. get a wheel alignment done, get the camber sorted, get some new suspension (don't go stiff coilovers as this will make wheelspin worse, not better)

yes you can get camber adjustable coilovers, however generally it is only the front that is camber adjustable.

For what its worth, I lose traction @ about 4000 rpm with 230rwkw with 255/35/R18's with 140 treadwear rating.. that arent near the indicators yet.

That said they are about 3+ years old. :P

looks like i came to the partay too late... ah well...

fwiw i run a 285rwkw rb25 which hits 20psi by 3400rpm. i run greddy coilovers, camber and pineapple bushes on the rear and a 1.5way locker. ( i also run the car @ 320mm)

in the dry i can plant all gears except 1st right through to my 7400 redline without a hint of wheelspin

you are running a less powerful, less responsive setup and have trouble getting traction, so what are the differences?

i run a locked diff, better tyres, less camber, better shocks, and pineapple bushes. i also have correctly matched shock/springs which i'm guessing you dont due to the comment about camber with stock shocks

fix all these and you should have no worries.

on ethanol i run 325rwkw and lose traction in second, but it's easily controlled with my right foot and dosn't bother me

also coilovers will not allow adjustment of castor or camber (with 180sx/s13 front camber adjust being an exception) for this you will need bushes or adjustable upper/lower arms

you need to get your car to a suspension workshop (not pedders)

You are an assett to SAU JJJJS.

I fixed the wheelspin with correct camber adjustment on the rears and coils.

Neg camber on rears was my demon.

Sounds as if yours could be the result of tyre hardening.

Why is it bad to lose traction anyways? Thats what happens when you have a decent amount of power, i can even lose traction with 150rwkw in the dry.

Seriously though buy decent tyres, i had ku36's on my r34 and that helped heaps with traction, before with pirellis it was a handfull even in the dry. With 'normal' street tyres you cant expect flawless acceleration especially not with over 200rwkw.

When you loose it in every gear in a straight line it can get pretty annoying.

I have floorless acceleration with 230rwkw now the camber is fixed. I run turanzas btw.

I bet it wasn't quiet when he was skidding

you really lost traction in "every gear"?

3. Loosing traction in 2nd gear is normal for a modified skyline. You need to not use full throttle - that peddle is analogue, you don't have to go ALL the way like using the buttons on an xbox. This is called throttle modulation.

    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
