Hey guys.

Have had this issue with my 33 for a while now and am going to be hopefully fixing it very soon once my new brakes go in. Just want to basically know if anyone has had this problem or knows what it is.

Best example is if im on the free way, i can literally make the car change lanes either way by just using the brake or throttle. When i brake, the car leans to the right while the steering wheels slightly leans to the left.. :laugh:

If i accelerate the exact thing happens in the opposite direction (left).

If i am driving straight at a steady speed (not braking or accelerating the car is pretty much going straight.

Could this simply just be the need of a wheel alighnment or something loose/worn that needs replacing?

I did install aluminium rear cradle bushes & a hicas lock bar 2 years ago before the car came off the road and i cant remember whether i did a wheel alighnment on the car afterwards or not...

Appreciate your help

yeah start with a wheel alignment. that will tell you the basic stuff is OK (or not).

generally a car that pulls one side under brakes has stuck pistons in the brake on the opposite side - so you might need to overhaul the front calipers too.

yeah think thats a good idea...

Also can somebody tell me if a wheel alighnment would be affected in any way if i was to change my rotors and brake pads all round after completing a wheel alighnment???

you never aligned it? lol

when i installed my hicas bar i had to practically crabwalk my car to the suspension joint for an alignment. you'll definately be out...

take your front bar off before you go in too dude.... the 400r is way too low for like 99% of alignment machines.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
