no its not usual is it. theres no camber on the car ...its stock ride height. just strange also taht its only happened to the left rear wheel. the right is fine.

another theory is that i might have got a flat spot on that part a while back...and over time its just gradually broke apart

so should i replace the other rear tyre also?? the tyres are nangkang by the way.

That is not a good look! you may want to try second hand tyre places as well, you never know what you will find. you should replace both rears as tyres should match left to right. there is a second hand tyre place on abbots rd in dandenong south if that's any help. :)

Hey If i were you I wouldnt get 'cheap' tyres..

Think about it.. tyres are the only thing keeping you on the road, and with skylines they have quite a bit of power on tap, and by the sounds of it you like to use it, which isnt a bad thing, just as long as youve got the equipment to do it safely! Tyres are the best place to start.

It really gets me vented when people ask for cheap tyres.. they are one of the most important safety factors of ANY car.. Ive seen enough cars come off the road and into a tree because of bad tyres..

Is YOUR life or your friends lives worth saving a measly 100-200 bucks? Id like to think not.

Spend the extra dosh.. and feel a bit safer on the road.

extatic - yeah your absolutely right about that mate. when i mentioned cheap i didnt mean cheap and nasty per-say but more along the lines of decent and afordable. i remember seeing a thread before the data loss about discounted/cheap tyre places in melb...thats where the word cheap came in:D:D

strutto - yeah ive only tried handbrakies about 4 times in the wet....couldnt get a hang of it so i gave up. handbrakies should produce flat spots on both tyres....but not in my case.

R34GTT - i sense a hint of sarcasm there...hehe. yeah ive had these ever since the car landed and was complied which coincidentaly is about 3yrs now:D:D trust me...theres no camber!!

Autotrust- thanks....second hand tyres are an iffy for me...might appear good but u just dont knwo the history of it. but ill definitly be checkin it up when its time to go to those full-lock classes next yr:D:D

ahk cool mate, just make sur eyou stick with known brands.. and dont get sucked into the crappy ones like nankang, austyre etc..

Big names like Michellin, Bridgestone, Good-Year, Pirelli etc.. all produce top quality tyres.. jump on performanceforums and do a search, theres lots discussed there.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
