Just got my car back from the shop and want to make sure that i'm not going crazy...

before the car went in (and now that it's out) the car had a slight tendancy to go to the right (very slight)... not so much a problem, i can deal with it...

since it's gotten out, i've noticed that if I get on the accelerator and don't hold on to the steering wheel very tightly, the car jumps to the left (and if i hold on to the wheel tightly, i can feel it trying)... it goes away if i move back to neutral throttle....

maybe i just missed something about the car earlier? kind of figured that i'd pick up on it in almost three years of ownership, though!

Couple specs:
NA (quite a bit of work, but under 300whp)
track rims w/ KDW-2's (235f/255r)
upgraded axles (looking forward to turbos )
Cusco RS LSD @ 60% lockup
ATS dual carbon w/ LW flywheel


the only thing i can think of that has changed significantly over the time the car was in the shop is the temperature? how long does diff fluid take to get up to full operating temp? It is quite a bit more noticable if the car is cold but doesn't completely go away...

i guess it could be the alignment, but supposedly nissan says it's right on?

i'm going to replace all the fluids (will do redline w/ friction modifier for the diff) and see what happens. in the meantime, any brainstorming would be greatly appreciated

thanks!

I'd go back to the shop and let them drive it with you in the car, so they can see what the problem is!

 

nope your just retarded!


Have the shop drive.

 

is this when the rear tires are spinning or not? i would have to say it to be the alignment. maybe go to another reputable alignment shop and have it checked.

 

nope, no tires spinning... i'll get a 2nd opinion on the alignment and see what's up

thanks guys

 

Not to mention the obvious, but make sure your rear tire pressures are very closely matched.

 

It could be a tumor…
