Learning to drive an RB powered 240sx is more difficult that I expected! I almost got in a car wreck yesterday not knowing the potential of my car. I was turning left out of my tech class like I do everyday but this time i gassed it to hard (not even half way down) peeled out big time and my car lost control, i overcorrected and landed in the ditch only 2 feet away from a huge tree. Usually i can floor it with the KA and nothing happens but it was way different with the RB. I was lucky I didnt hit and my car didnt get any damage but this is a lesson to me. I didnt realize the huge power increase and weight balance difference until then. I use to know my car so well and knew i could handle anything. Now i KNOW that i have to be careful and learn this thing over AGAIN!

Well just be careful people with new RB's. You dont want to get in a wreck after all the hard work done!

Oh yeah, would a LSD be of any benefit? I think i need new tires also my tread is practically bald. :oface

Sorry to hear. You should get an LSD, but that won't really keep you out of trees or ditches - that's all driver there. =P

Don't you just love the feeling of having a powerfull engine in a car that was previously a dog?

LSD AND FRESH TIRES SHOULD HELP THAT. BUT YOU WILL NEED TO BE CAREFUL UNDER ACCELERATION.
