GC350z Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I drive it as it should be. I don’t wait about. Back end has never stepped out without being provoked. All the threads I’ve been reading lately about loosing it and blaming the tyres and TC are just crap in my opinion. Ultimately someone suggest diesel on the road. No one ever suggests they stuffed it. Never changed the tyres on either of my Z’s yet still found it was like it was on rails. They’re not the best tyre available but they’re not @*!#. Same for the TC. It’s not the best but it’s easy to learn to live with it and if you have any experience and talent you can turn it off and drive an excellently balanced car. Quote
Stew Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I did have more of a problems with the 'stones, pulling out from my work and near my house are both uphill left turns and it would lose traction when pulling out gently. With the toyos this doesn't happen. I think the TC is good, only a nugget takes it off in the wet and I'd say it wouldn't let you lose it, maybe slide a little . Quote
Zedrush Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I had the back end come out on me once, really shook me up as i was coming out of a round about.. Limiter is always doing it, he done it at the nissan garage in Eltham when I dropped mine of for a service last Sat, the whole back skidded out Quote

sinbad Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I used to get the Zed sideways a fair bit really. As long as it was dry and the roads where clear. I always took my time in the wet, it isnt worth it. Quote

mbs Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Been driving for 44years and without a doubt fast and smooth is the way, makes me laugh some of these youngsters, foot hard down...brake...foot hard down.. brake - tossers Ah, so you are the kind of guy that releases the accelerator pedal half a mile before arriving at an intersection where there is a green light, just in case it might turn red, and it bloody will because when arriving at the intersection you will be doing about 10mph No just fast and smooth, chill man no rage.

Pingu2 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I drive it hard but I also try not to make the traction control come on (too much!) - that's the quickest way in my view! I do sometimes deliberately provoke a small slide for fun though when it's safe to do so! Quote
