Hi there,
I have the GTR Black Edition since day one and I use it everyday online. Today my car started to handbrake with its front wheels....:scared::scared:
Anyone got the same problem anytime?

HERE IT IS: http://youtu.be/tflMIyAo_pA

I haven't heard of the happening. And i never experienced it. So maybe its a new glitch.
 
The other gtr black that I have are completely normal... I don't understand this
 
I don't understand either so. So maybe it's a new glitch or an existing glitch that has gone unnoticed.
 
Do you have the center diff at 50/50? I think all of my AWD cars do this when the center diff is close to even.

Yes I have... but what does the diff has to do with the handbrake?:scared:
 
The front and rear axles are connected via driveshafts and differentials. Stop the rear wheels and the fronts will stop also. Weight transfer puts most of the stress on the front wheels.
 
Doesn't really bother me.
I don't think I ever used the handbrake actually.
Not even for Rallying.

But still it is a bit strange.

I think it has to do something with the diff when it set to 50/50 , it happened to me all the time but i didn't care .

as far i can tell its not a glitch its just another wierd thing .
 
I've been meaning to do a video on this, the Aventador has this issue as well.

Also, the differential should have ZERO to do with the front wheels locking.. that I guess Is why they're called glitches

So what you're saying is:
Even if the front and rear wheels are connected by driveshafts, through a locked differential, the front tires should still rotate when the rear wheels lock up?
Think about that for a second please.

WRC cars uses an electronic trigger that disconnects the front drive when the handbrake is used.
Most 4wd cars these days have viscous center differentials that will allow the front wheels to maintain their rotation even when the rear wheels lock up.

If you buy a locked center diffenrential you will always have the same result.
 
Yes it will affect e-breaking when TQ sensing center diff is at 50/50 also you can tweek the L.S.D. settings to resolve this... For example if you have your initial TQ set high and braking sensitivity set too high with it set at 50/50, when you rip the e-break yes it usually won't do a 180° spin. That is what that is what braking sensitivity is for. I always set my braking sensitivity in the front at half of what it is in the rear. That will usually fix the problem. If this still occurs lower your TQ to 60/40 or 70/30. Most cars today never run more than 60/40 anyway. But no this is not a glitch.

Agreeing here. I have an '08 Subaru WRX. Took it out to play in the snow. I was really bummed that the e-brake wouldn't lock the back wheels. it just slowed the car down tough. At one point i got all 4 wheels to lock with the e-brake, defeated the purpose of me wanting to use it to start a drift.
 
One year and two months playing this game, I've never noticed this. But thank you guys for clarifying me...
