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?

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.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
