Silvia S13 stepping out

I am new to this forum so first things first hello!
I found this site when searching on google.

I have a Nissan Silvia S13 and when I go round corners, especially in the wet, my back end steps out normally ending up with me going sideways down the street or onto an island.

I have noticed in my fuse holder in the engine bay that there is a fuse missing from the Anti-Skid. Im not sure if the car actually has an anti-skid or not. Does anyone have any ideas here as to whether it should have one or not?

No, there is no anti-skid :-D. I have owned two dozen s13's here in the usa and never seen that fuse in its place.

I don't think any of the S13 chassis cars had anti-skid without ABS, so unless you have ABS, there probably wasn't any anti-skid.

As a matter of fact, anti-skid could be another way to call ABS, as when you step on the brakes and lock them up, you're essentially skidding, and ABS will stop the skidding, ergo anti-skid.

Anyway, just don't drive like you are driving on dry roads when it's wet out and I don't think you'll have any problems. In this case, it's not the car that's the problem, it's the loose nut behind the wheel.

Lol very true... it was the tyres though i figured. I put the front tyres on the rear temporarily until i get new tyres for the rears. The lack of tread made it step out even on the dry roads until i changed them. so all sorted now.

uh yeah, it could also be a 180sx, but now I'm just mincing words.

Even my tired old KA would get the rear to step out in the rain on my S13 coupe. It's just normal for those cars I think.

You might want to check the alignment. It's possible you have some toe issues in the rear suspension. A little toe-out will make the rear end a bit happy especially in the wet.
