Default slipping rear wheels

Hi there everyone, My 1993 GTO from Japan automatic will not go round corners without the rear wheels slipping. We have changed the rear differential and transfer box to no avail. It seems as if the rear wheels are trying to move faster than the front and they jerk round when cornering. Would anybody out there like to offer advice on what the problem might be. Thanks to you all in advance.

well if you are used to imports, your problem is probably not realising that you not have a RWD car and it sucks at taking corners, you just more than likely are putting too much power to it and losing traction

sounds to me like you have a welded vcu, helps you launch harder but does make the tires bark when you take tight turns... for dsm guys its the same as a welded center diff

suspension mods always help w/ traction, a nice combo of shocks and struts or coilovers will give you a great deal more grip and there are DOZENS of other ways and other parts to make you get better traction.

Sorry this post doesnt make any sense, first its apperant he has an JDM GTO since GM didnt make GTO's in 93 and that GTO's only came in AWD and FWD, it has to be an AWD car since he mentioned a rear diff. Also RWD cars sux at taking corners???? F1 cars are RWD,soare vettesand all the other great handling cars.
