Hi guys. I recently bought a R33 Skyline GTR and I love that it was so quiet inside and clean.

But yesterday I had a nail pulled out of my tyre at the tyre place and ever since I have this firetrucking horrible noise when I take my foot off the power at about 60 K's

So yesterday the very same day I hear it I took the wheel off * Front right hand * and looked high and low for this noise. I could see no sign of scrubbing or of anything being out of wack. So I spent 4 hour's looking over everything to do with steering, wheel and brakes and couldn鈥檛 find a dam thing out of place.

So I took it out again and low and behold the same dam noise came back. The noise is lick sticking something in the spokes of a bike. So again I took the wheel off and again I find no sign of any kind or rubbing or damage to anything on the right front wheel. This is really starting to make me wonder what could be wrong. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Or is there anything you can sagest I have a look at?

Apparently you moved me to the right section. Thanks

The problem with this is that I have already had the wheel off. I couldn鈥檛 see a dam thing wrong with it. The little whipper snapper that changed the tyre may not have anything to do with the sound. But I will speak with them tomorrow and see what the go is. More info on the noise is also that it only happens when I am coasting or negative boost. If I tap the power it firetrucks off. The noise does not always happen either.

I take it to the guy I get to fix my cars and he said he can鈥檛 find anything. Put it up on a hoist and him and myself sat under that dam thing for hour's and still couldn鈥檛 come up with any resin why it would make the noise.

Update.

After spending another two days under the car pocking around I decided there was no way the sound could be coming from tyre. So I took it down and though I will take if for another run and listen to the sound again. I drove the car for an hour without hearing the noise. Witch scares me a little. Becouse the noise isnt there anymore and I didnt find what it was. If anyone has any idears please let me know.

The noise ended up being a front planitery gear set tooth droping.

Witch 3 weeks later ended up in little fine peaces of mettle floating around my front wheel drive. Witch in turn ended up with a new front wheel drive

needing to be installed cost 5500 witch was not to bad i guess :domokun:

    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
