Skyline R33 Gtst Back Wheel Sticks Out!

Hi guys,

I have a skyline R33 GTST 1996 Series II. And as the topic says, my right back wheel sticks out past the guard, which is also resulting in it scrubbing, only when driven over bumbs or turning fast. To give the quick story, basically, I came to this realization of this issue with this one rear wheel sticking out, after fitting a set of R33 GTR wheels, 17x9 +30 with advan AD08's all round, 235/45/R17 on front and 255/40/R17 on the rears, which me and an owner of a Bob Jane store, researched lots to get the best fitting sized tires, for these wheels, so I'm very frustrated! as i know these fit beautiful, as my other 3 wheels are beautiful.

Before these wheels i had a set of 19 x 8.5 all round, with 245/35/R19 on fronts and 265/30/R19 on rears - I had NO issues. But I have recently looked at old photos, with these 19 inch wheels on, and you can actually see that the rear right does stick out, but was never a problem, and couldn't even notice. So it has always been like that, just these new wheels and tires show it, and it also hits the guards, which took out slight slicing of my rear tire - so angry! Now I now that im noticing it now rather then before, as these tires are 40 at the rear, in height instead of a 30..well i think that any how?

Bob Jane has NFI what is causing it, went to my mechanic he originally thought a worn bush of some sort, but after he inspected the car, it is not that and he said it has to do with just adjusting the rear wheel(s), pulling it in with the slight adjustable adjustments, being toe, camber all that. he also said if a wheel alignment place says we cant adjust any further, then may have to put an adjustable control arm..? Obviously if i roll the guards that wont scrub, but it will still be sticking out, which isn't neat at all.

My mechanic, got a measuring thing, the one with that bubble, the leveler (sorry not sure of name lol) and standing it up against both rear wheels, they actually, ARE different, left side (which is sweet) bubble is in middle, right (which is the issue) the bubble is not in the middle, but away from the car...

Also, the car is not lowered, fully stock standard height.

Sorry guys if this is all over the place, first post, and want to try explain the best as i can so you have the best understanding.

Thank you very much in advance cheers.gif

the car has probably been in some sort of accident. i'd hazard a guess that the rear K frame is bent. a friends 180sx has a similar issue after she dropped a wheel off the edge of the road and spun out into a ditch (wasn't being silly, just wasn't paying attention). the wheel was out of alignment really badly because of the tie rod (or whatever the rear wheel equivilant is) or something like that, and it was much straighter when it was replaced, but the K frame is still bent so the alignment is still out of whack

sounds like maybe a dodgy repair from an acco? :S when its on a hoist get them to check out the lower control arms (big triangle ones) as they fit across many cars but are different from model to model eg skyline and sylvia and if any of the arms were different left to right it would definatly cause your problems!

measure everything you can and compare them to the other side of the carthumbsup.gif

ps i work for fulcrum so if your anywhere near one of the stores go in for a check and tell them about the problem and they should give you a definate answer

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
