Dynamic indexing....... Sam@ TDi summed this up perfectly in a previous post...
.............................
Option one would always be to shed some weight! having a DI soo far above 1.00 can really only be caused by a mis-match in wheelbase to the mass, basically the chassis has far too much yaw inertia for the short wheelbase to influence easily. If we could take just 10% weight out of our demo car we'd have a DI of 1.39, much better!
Unfortunately to take 10% weight out we'd have to seriously comprimise the car's very comfortable characteristics so for some (most) people this would defeat the object.
The other option is to simply accecpt that the car will as a result of it's high DI always make poor use of it's rear axle in terms of producing lateral acceleration and then to try to work around it.
A good example would be the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo-5, it's actually a car with a DI of 1.35 so this would make it pretty vectra/modeo'ish to drive... But Mitsubishi's chassis dynamics team have cunningly swerved this potential marketing disaster by employing an overly pointy geometry and suspension sollution giving the car the ability to change direction light a housefly, then in order for the average joe customer to be able to control and exploit this very odd and naturally quite unbalanced set-up they've been forced to add an active yaw control system in the form of an electronically controlled torque biasing center diff. This solution works so well that not only is the car acceptable to it's intended market it's actually now considered as one of the worlds best handling cars.
do the competition cars not have the active yaw feature then?

looks good!

Group 1 insurance should be cheap as chips though
my mate paid the best part of £1700 to insure his 17 year old son on a group 1 car........third party fire and theft.....
not even a new one, on an 02 plateseems like the insurance company are giving him about 80% chance of having some kind of accident......

Hi and thanks for the comments
The colour is in the metal flakes of the gel coat of the fibreglass rather than a paint job, so makes it much harder wearing. It really comes to life under flourescent lights and bright sunshine.
Hi Steve, glad it all got sorted for you!
Buggy is looking really good!!! -
axtecbandit, thats a nice motor you have there

Go for a R33 GTS-T Eddie...ok they are not quite a GTR but still very quick ( Tubo`d ) and got enough boot space etc and will be a bit cheaper on the insurance...
or you are still looking at at least �20,000 for a good R33 GTR...Have a look on Pistonheads they have a few nice ones on there at the moment.....
I think im in love......
-
Looking good Wozza, great blog!

That's cheap ain't it for a skyline, I thought they were more than that?
I do prefer the old shape though, I think it's more unique but I still wouldn't say no to that!
It all depends on the "variant" of the GTR you want.... you have loads...The ones that cost alot of money are the R33 GTR-Vspec,about £20,000 £25,000 or the R34 GTR Vspec or Mspec 2 nur...etc.. some still demand £35,000 £40,000 +
Have alook at this one....

Thats one is just stunning IMHO...
blimey, that 700hp 2002 GTR for sale is outrageous! 700bhp, outrageous power. Im just starting to look at them and Im not really sure which one I want. I guess I need to drive a few before making my mind up. Dont think I could stretch to anything like an R33 GTR or R34 as they are silly money. Seems to be a lot of imports in good condition for good money though. I will watch the GTR forums to learn more.
anyone on here that drives one??
