Sounds like the car is scraping somewhere when i turn sharply to the right, i mean super sharp on the verge of loosing the back....

Only got 17's on my R33 Gtst series 2, cannot see any visible scrape marks under the front wheel arch or the gtr front bar....

Only happens when i turn right sharply, usually i wouldnt bother about it but im enetering a texi event in August and wandering if anyone else has had this prob....

Suspension is standard, wheels are 17's gtr copies, suspension seems fine.....

If you got a GTST with GTR 'Copy' rims (assuming there GTR offset) The offset could well be your problem?

Turn the wheel hard to the right and then inspect all the plastic inner guards on both sides for obvious wear. Look real close at where the wheel is sitting and if there is any slight marks on the plastics nearby. Check if any of the plastic clips that hold the inner guards in place are missing, etc.

double check ur brake disc backing plates arent too close to your disc rotors.... (thin metal dust plate that sits behind the rotor to stop dirt n grap getting in the brakes).... make sure there is a good gap between the plate and ur rotor coz if there isnt under extreme sideways loads they may flex and touch.

mine does it. it is actually a plastic scraping sound. not rubber on metal. very obvious when you hear it. I assume it is the inner arch lining. Just take the wheel off and inspect the guard. It may have come loose. I got to do mine too.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
