    A lot of this is tyre related, Buy soem FALKENS if you like to slide around in the rear end. OR buy some good tyres like bridgestone Potenza G3's or RE050's if you want the rear end to stick in the wet.

    My G3's are just an awesome tyre, I have to really try hard to make the rear end lose it in the wet.

    you were using cruise in the rain?? havent u been told not to do that???

    cruise in the wet causes the car to think its lost traction and the car accelerates for no reason.... its caused a lot of crashes, maybe thats your problem.

    NO MORE CRUISE IN THE WET

    Mine was like that when my steering wheel wasn't quite straight. Hicas was kicking in constantly, kinda scary at the drag strip.

    Had a very similar issue except magnified like 5 times. It was undrivable in the wet no question. Slightest bump in the road or oil slick and the ass end of the car would slide (in dry weather). Turns out, and I cant remember 100% but the 4 main bushes that hold my rear sub frame up were completely f***ed. Had them changed and HUGE difference. To add to that, my car was low on power steering fluid which meant HICAS screwing up added to it... had some VERY scary moments.

    Got some pictures up. Those little red things were the bushes replaced...

    I'd say have a look at em or get someone who knows about them to look them over.

    Absolute bullshit!

    I have driven hundreds of thousands of kilometres in high powered vehicles fitted with Cruise Control, and not once experienced problems of this nature(nor do I know of anyone who has). You need to look elsewhere for an excuse for your problem.

    Do you really believe that any car manufacturer would be allowed to sell cars that are fitted with systems that can(and do)cause numerous accidents?
    NISSAN would be sued off the planet, would spend their whole lives in Court(and no Government Motoring Authority would permit vehicles so fitted, to be given Roadworthy Certificates), so no registration for road use.
    Another "Old Wives Tale".:bash::bash:

    You need a proper 4 wheel alignment, sounds like your rear toe or thrust angle is out.

    have a look at ur tyres... are they wearing evenly? if not he might be right about needing a alignment... my fronts are screwed..
