Any ideas where to start looking for problems ?

s2 r33 with active diff,

every time I turn left I get this ticking like theres something stuck in a tyre that only hits the road when I turn left but after thorough inspection of tyres while on lift northing in tyres. also no leaks noticed anywhere and no obvious damage to hub from below. I will be changing pads in the near future as my current set are on hte low side, think I will notice anything around the hub ?? I was thinking suspension somewhere but dont have a freekn clue what to check for.

direction requested gentlemen!

yeah i definatly say cv joints most commen to be clicky when turning but do you have two piece wheels they could be moving or diff could be binding???? or handbrake on the hub could be noisy need of adjustment?

i was under a similar impression.. ie.. lack of cvs though there is rear stearing be it stuff all, so they could be continuous velocity joints in the back end eh..?

comming of the diff....as the axles would need to move with the rim somewhere similar to a fwd in the back. il check the boots on the joints at the back,,, personally iuno if they are actual cvs but if they are they usually arent savagely expensive (READ locally avialable models) though and if a $20 boot goes it isnt long before the jiont follows.

fugn shits me!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
