Suspension Issue #32548

I have noticed that at the rear the drivers side tyre gets bold a lot quicker than the other one, and before you say open wheeling, it is leaving 2 marks on the ground when you spin the wheels.

I have no idea what it could be, it has to be something diff or drivetrain related but cant get to

the bottom of it. Somehow seems like the drivers side wheel is spinning faster than the other one.

Has anyone here had the same problem before? Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Ric

If its a stock LSD youll probably fine the back right will spin a fair bit more then your left.

Seems normal to me.

Just live with it or get hold of non directional tyres so you can swop back right to back left and vice versa.

People please, it is not the wheel alignment as I said before, I have had 2 wheel alignments in the last months in 2 different places, and nothing has changed.

One tyre gets bold, everywhere, gone, on the metal :P while the other one is still on the indicators, to give an example.

Roy, fair point, ill check the thread and the ride height, who knows maybe thats the problem.

More ideas welcome, getting sick of this.

Cheers

yes thanks guys, car has been wheel aligned recently, so thats out of the question. Any other ideas?

not at all....did you get the after settings printed out?

I had a wheel alignment done on a car last week and it was left with +.7 and -.9 on the other side toe at the rear.

Its much like the front left of your car wears quicker than the right. It is a consequence of driving on the left side of the road. You just so happen to turn right more than left. therefore the rear right will wear more if you have an LSD/Locked diff.

If you drove on the other side of the road as other countries do, you would wear the opposite tyres.

When you have a Mechanical LSD, arent the wheels suppose to spin at the same rate all the time though??? :yes:

Yeah, and that's why it wears out. Goin round a right hand corner, the rear right needs to be turning faster than the rear left. But the LSD is making them both spin at the same rate. So you chew out the rear right.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
