hey all just a quick question, im purchasing an r33 that has these wheels on them which i think are from an r34 gtt

http://www.japimports.com.au/images/cars/car028.jpg

just wondering are they the right offset etc to go on my car? because there is a ticking noise that is in timing with something on a tyre coming from either passenger front or rear (like a screw stuck in the tyre that ticks faster and faster as u go faster)

the dealer is trying to sort it out and he said they might be the wrong offset because he cant find nothing in the tyre at all

also he changed the whole left side rims with another type and they didnt make any noise so he has narrowed it down to the rim or tyre... im impatient and just want to know if it the rims hitting on the calipers or something to that extent.

thanks

I have them on mine. The caliper is literally a millimeter (or less) away from the centre of the wheel. Might want to check that there is nothing on the rim that can touch. Look for wear marks?

Failing that, the noise sounds exactly like when I get a small stone or rock stuck in the tread. Rotate the tyres one by one until you've checked the surface of them all. =-]

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
