Hi all

Im only new to this as i just bought an r 33 gtst 4 door. But i put a set of blade rims from bob jane t-marts on and i ended up with a massive chunk taken out of the left front wheel. Tottaly stuffed had to buy a whole new rim cost 395 dollars real annoyed. Anyway when i drive it sounds like a deep whining noise around 50 to 60 ks maybe the axel is bent or just wondering if anyone would know about this. its only done 60,000 ks so nothing wrong with the engine. any help would be great cheers.

dont actually know what happened but its the front left and i dont think that it is the diff because it is only when i get to a little bit of a higher speed that the noise occurs. i might just have to get it checked out

Sounds to me like you hit soimething which caused the rim damage.

The noise sounds like the impact has "bruised" the bearing. The noise will get worse, and eventually your wheel will probably fall off....this will damage the rim again and you will need to buy a 6th one :)

i sort of agree with bard get your alignment bearings and other steering style stuff checked (cheaper than a new rim)

oh and its ok if you dont tell us about that curb you jumped ( i neglect to mention my motorsports "incidents" all the time)

Wheel bearing gone? Or on its way out?

If this is the case, eventually the wheel will sieze up and not rotate any more.

Pretty easy to replace, pull of wheel, take of the brake rotor, and replace them.

hey was just teasin bout the curb hope it all works out well

i had problems with a vibration at 80-100 kph for ages that i couldnt find (mechanics/ wheel blokes/ suspension blokes either) finally went away when i replaced some stearing bushes when i installed the swaybars go figure

and lets not even go into motorsport "incidents"

luck aye

na its all sweet now the mechanics that i go to found it. it was just wheel Bearing, but they said that they called nissan in osbourne park and that it was going to cost me 400 dollars because i had to order the hub as well. Anyway they did some research for me and just found the bearing s under 100 dollars so its all good now run s like a charm cheers guys,

cheers scottyboy

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
