Hi guys

1997 Nissan Skyline R33 S2

Im getting a ticking sound that seems to come from the front right wheel

- alignment done

- tie rod ends replaced

- suspension check - all good , nothing loose except for front right wheel having slightly to much camber

- jacked car up, span wheel - no noise - nothing in way

- rechecked if any cords or anything else in way , all tucked away perfectly.

- doesn't happen when turning

- no difference when breaking

- no difference whether accelerating/decelerating

- noticable from 20km.h to 80km/h - after that sound stops

- car drives fine , steers fine etc..

This is driving me crazy, any suggestions? Could it be cv joints , bearings , stone caught in caliper etc? Anyone been through this before after checking what was listed above?

Your car doesnt have cv joints at the front so you can eliminate that off your list

Swap front right tyre for rear left

See if that changes anything

good idea

Check under guard liners? Or try removing guard liners and driving the car?

Just a thought

Glad you sorted it. :thumbsup:

was that "Tyres Plus"? Plus what? Headaches... :laugh:

I had tyres rotated at "Tyres and More". More because they didn't tighten the nut on my center caps and I lost one. Had to buy another. :(

Yes tyres plus Menai - dont like to bash shops but when i went there the first , they backed my exhaust onto the lift , causing the boss to start screaming at his apprentice and punching some tyres laying around - while im sitting in the car hopping my exhaust is okay,

The second time I went there, they did an alignment, car was still pulling to the left horribly , and took over 45 min to do it.

Just felt like they didn't want me there , didn't like the arrogance....but was okay with that since i assumed the work was top notch, Apparently it isn't..

Oh well ,that's what I get for taking my car anywhere other then Unique Automotive.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
