Hey all, got a SII R33 with some small issues =)

Front left wheel makes a knock if I brake when reversing, only when reversing though. Took the wheel off and had a look and the hub that goes over the studs has the slightest amount of play in it, we're talking 1-2mm tops. From what I understand this should not be a major issue? If anyone has had this before, did you fix it, if so how and did it cause any problems?

Rear left wheel hums over 60km/h, put it on a stand and drove it, still hummed so it's not a tyre. Took the wheel off, all looks normal so I imagine it's a dry/worn wheel bearing or one of the CV joint type looking things on the shafts. Anyone replaced any of this stuff before and can tell me what's involved or suggest what else it might be?

Cheers!

Are your brake-pads tight in the caliper? Checked the caliper bolts are on tight to the bracket? Sounds like something is shifting position... although a loose hub is weird... all the cars i've ever owned have really tight hubs, with no play at all. Might be worth checking your bolt and split pin. You're talking about shaking it vertically, right?

Checked the pads, plenty of meat and definitely tight enough. The item shifting position is the hub that goes over the studs though the actual rotor itself was moveable (which as I understand is natural as it's the hub and front wheel that holds the rotor in place). It's the actual hub type cover that goes over the studs that has freeplay in it, the stud holes are slightly larger and allow 1-2mm of play when changing wheel rotation direction.

That doesn't sound right... they should be a real prick to pull off... but that explains it I think.

You go for the brakes, they lock onto the disc/rotor, which spins 1-2mm till it hits the studs?

Dunno... noone else has piped up, but I recken there's something fishy there. What sort of discs do you have on it?

Hopefully this should explain what part I mean.

With the wheel removed and fiddling with everything it was only the part shown that had free play, 1-2mm tops, and I can't get the wheel on there any tighter. As i understand it, the wheel provides most of the pressure to keep the hub and rotor assembly firmly in place. It's actually the holes in the hub that seem just that tiny bit too large for the studs and allows a shift when moving from a forward to reverse direction.

Anyone got info on the rear wheel issue mentioned?

Cheers

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
