Water sitting on the road right in your tyre line, chances are it was a hot day previously and rained which makes the surface really slippery or a truck spilled a little diesel down around the bend earlier.

Traction control only works under power on the driven wheels, ABS only works under braking, stability control only works on slight losses, once it goes big like that, Gods will for you to live kicks in. :D

Read the road better next time.

As we use to say in Rally, 9 out of 10 bends can be taken faster than you think they can, its that 1 out of 10 that you need to worry about.

You had your 1 out of 10......:)

I drive on that road every day too, 65km/h on corner entry in the wet seems a bit quick especially with tyres you're not intimately familiar with.

All the electronics in the world won't help you if you simply don't have enough traction to make the corner, and you should be driving around with more margin in hand.

Also, some of the bitumen on that road (plus where it joins the main road at the top of the hill) is REALLY polished and REALLY slippery in the wet.

TL;DR: Slow down, Fangio :)

Yep, absolutely agree.

I agree with that. :(

Man they had some crazy drivers in the 70's...

Some good cameras though!

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
