HELP!Torque Steer is killing me!
Hey folks. Need some help. I traded a 98 max w/ S/C and full suspension mods for 03 6speed, which handles like a bread truck. I can drop it and beef the suspension. Add a blower etc. But the torque steer is killing me. If I add a blower the damn thing might just run in circles. The factory LSD is crap. More of a traction unit than a posi. HELP!!!If I can't solve this problem, I'm going for the G35. Thanx.

But when I bought mine, it had really bad torque steer even at medium throttle. Then I figured out I had radial pull from one of the tires, which made the problem much worse. Now, even at WOT, it's more of a question of holding the steering wheel a little tighter, vs. actually steering against the torque. So you might swap your wheels side-to-side and see if that helps.

I very rarely feel it now

Tires play a huge roll in torque steer. Nissan doesn't use the best rubber.
