*91 240sx Fastback

Tokico Shocks with Tein Springs (both new when installed)
Stock Duralast Tierod ends (new when installed)
Tein Tension Rods (new when installed)
Car HAS been alinged

The problem?

Car EASILY wants to slide (drift, get sideways, etc) when making a turn, any slight sharp turn makes the rear want to slide and this is at any speed, 10mph or 30mph etc etc

Friend with almost identical minor suspension mods, except the tein tension rods, drove my car and noticed the difference, we both have auto 91 240sx with tein tockicos on 195 all around steelies, and his car doesnt slide as easily as mine.

Remedy?

HELP!!!!

SiI40sx · 09-28-2006, 10:07 PM

what's wrong with that?

drift freaq · 09-28-2006, 10:16 PM

craptastic tires, I told him they could be the culprit, I also suggested making sure his wheels were not bent.

Bigballin · 09-28-2006, 10:21 PM

bushings (rear)?

SiI40sx · 09-28-2006, 10:25 PM

which bushings? subframe? lower ball joint? rucas?

SochBAT · 09-28-2006, 10:41 PM

crap tires FTW!

And even with some toe, it shouldn't pitch out that quick.

r-b-x · 09-28-2006, 11:34 PM

i can't see how 195 is anywhere near enough tire for a 240. that's less than stock

*downshift_sideways* · 09-28-2006, 11:38 PM

i thought 195 were stock on 89-94 240sx? and 205's were the upgraded tire size? Iono I'm too tired to think

You are correct 195/60-15 were the stock steelie tires on all S13 240sx's. The 205/60's came on the SE models with the factory alloys.

I DID read the entire post. You never stated that you two switched tires. All you said was that you two were running "195's on steelies."

This probably isn't the problem, but have you checked the diff fluid?

kandyflip445 · 09-29-2006, 01:16 AM

Someone welded your diff in the middle of the night...

EchoOfSilence · 09-29-2006, 01:31 AM

maybe your rear caliper(s) are seized

!Zar! · 09-29-2006, 01:45 AM

How are you guys trying to drift?

Maby his torque converter is shot.
