Hey

Long story short, the car span 180 degrees and hit the curb on the passenger side maybe about 20km (was traveling under 60kms and was braking for a long time during the spin) bending the tire inwards (lowest part of the hub pointing inwards toward the engine) while I had the wheel turned right.

All I can see is this damage.

(sorry its upside down)

What is this part called? What other parts may be damaged and need replacing? Car is a r32 gts4

Thanks in advance!

Also make sure to check your hub isnt bent aswell. When I smacked my rear control arm thought that was the only problem replaced to see still probelm there when had closer look the hub had twisted and deformed.

I would change that caster rod too. Most likely the rose joint is damaged now due to the impact.

I would also check the steering tie rods, and tie rod ends for damage, as sometime massive shocks like that "may" fracture the tie rod ends

yeh my mate has done this to both of his front wheels, also not drifting on a street, both times we changed the control arm and castor rod, and some how it worked that no alignment was needed, just lucky i spose,

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
