Hi all

Im only new to this as i just bought an r 33 gtst 4 door. But i put a set of blade rims from bob jane t-marts on and i ended up with a massive chunk taken out of the left front wheel. Tottaly stuffed had to buy a whole new rim cost 395 dollars real annoyed. Anyway when i drive it sounds like a deep whining noise around 50 to 60 ks maybe the axel is bent or just wondering if anyone would know about this. its only done 60,000 ks so nothing wrong with the engine. any help would be great cheers.

dont actually know what happened but its the front left and i dont think that it is the diff because it is only when i get to a little bit of a higher speed that the noise occurs. i might just have to get it checked out

Sounds to me like you hit soimething which caused the rim damage.

The noise sounds like the impact has "bruised" the bearing. The noise will get worse, and eventually your wheel will probably fall off....this will damage the rim again and you will need to buy a 6th one :)

i sort of agree with bard get your alignment bearings and other steering style stuff checked (cheaper than a new rim)

oh and its ok if you dont tell us about that curb you jumped ( i neglect to mention my motorsports "incidents" all the time)

Wheel bearing gone? Or on its way out?

If this is the case, eventually the wheel will sieze up and not rotate any more.

Pretty easy to replace, pull of wheel, take of the brake rotor, and replace them.

hey was just teasin bout the curb hope it all works out well

i had problems with a vibration at 80-100 kph for ages that i couldnt find (mechanics/ wheel blokes/ suspension blokes either) finally went away when i replaced some stearing bushes when i installed the swaybars go figure

and lets not even go into motorsport "incidents"

luck aye

na its all sweet now the mechanics that i go to found it. it was just wheel Bearing, but they said that they called nissan in osbourne park and that it was going to cost me 400 dollars because i had to order the hub as well. Anyway they did some research for me and just found the bearing s under 100 dollars so its all good now run s like a charm cheers guys,

cheers scottyboy

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
