hi,

anybody can help me to decipher this problem of mine?

I have upgraded my 16" tyres (stock std) on my R32 to 17". Eversince then, I have this deep hollow whirring noise whenever I do a right turn on a round-about or a tight turn. This noise seems to be coming from the front of my car.

And the noise doesn't exist whenever I am travelling straight.

Any suggestions on what the heck is going on here? I am having 17x8 at the front and 17x9 at the back. 235/45 n 255/40 respectively.

Any advice would be appreciated.

BIGBLOCKR31COUPE - it is close to 113000 km.

Duncan - how do u tell if it is the bearings that is stuffed? And how much to replace them?

DJ984 - I found rubber marks on the A-arm at the front. I suspect that my tyres rubbed against the "arms" when I brake hard. Any suggestions to how I should go about solving them?

Thanks to one and all for your advice.

When you brake hard???? It could be one of many things and without hearing the actual noise we are all guessing. Could be worn suspension bushes, wheel bearings, tyre fault, loose plastic trim.....the list goes on. Ask a suspension specialist to have a look. It might only cost you a couple of bucks.

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
