Hey guys, not sure how to tackle this best so looking for some valuable input.

Info on car;

32 GTST with

Nismo rear upper and lower control arms

Yellowspeed Coilovers

32 GTR Alloys

Kaaz 2-way

Hicas Lock bar.

Now car has been fine since I bought it, and I've been playing around trying to fit my 18x10 D1Rs. So only adjustment to the rear was the height was raised about 30-40mm over the "very low" stance it had.

I mounted the D1Rs and drove it up my drive way, it scrubbed. So took them back off and placed the GTR alloys back on. Since then the Diff seems alot more "notchy/clunky" then normal, particularly low speed right hand turning.

Also in a straight line off throttle (coasting) it drives straight, but the second I go to any sort of throttle you car will have a tendency to veer to the right, back off the throttle and it will continue straight again.

It had never done this before I swapped wheels, so I'm unsure how this has done anything. I've double checked the wheel nuts are tight, coilovers are bolted tight.

I'm wondering if it could be a driveshaft/diff issue?

Have you had the alignment looked at yet? Depending how your diff is setup (i believe kaaz 2 ways have a level of adjustment) it could be an indication of alignment being out..

On accel the diff is quite responsive and tightens quickly, so once both wheels are locked, they will follow the line of alignment.. Or in this case, misalignment.

Unlikely, but a possibility. Good luck :)

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
