Hi All,

Friday night I tried to avoid an accident and ended up spinning and hitting a gutter, thank god it was at a reasonably low speed. The other car also hit the gutter but didnt damage anything and just drove away. What has happened to my car is the wheel was twisted. being the unlucky person i am the wheel wasnt buckled, part of the rear wheel assembly was twisted. I spent all day yesterday trying to pull the twisted part off. For those who know the rear wheel area, the part twisted is the triangle shaped part. I plan to try and find a wrecked 96 S2 33, an replace the part and see if anything else is ok. What I need help is

-does anyone have a car I can take this part off?

-does anyone know if this part is the same of other models?

-has anyone had the same problem? and what did they do?

-how much would it cost to just get the professionals to do the work?

Thanks, any help will be much appreciated

I haven't personally done what you have done, but I have replaced numerous suspension components on my car.

Furthermore, I have helped other friends with skylines who have smashed into kerbs.

What we did, was to just take off the parts that are obviously bent. Other bits may not look damaged, but they might still be slightly out. Try and measure other bits and compare it to the other side, and see if the're the same etc.

Generally, the bolts on most of those components are pretty tight, so you'll need a good length breaker bar. other than that, they're all pretty easy to change.

Wreckers can be expensive. People have been wrecking r33s recently in the for sale section, so your best bet would be to go back thorugh the for sale pages, and try and find the latest one. They would most liekly still have the bit you need, because those parts aren't exaclty highly sought after.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
