This is regarding an R33 GTST.

I have a client if you will, who has the above mentioned car. The owner purchased a set of coilovers from me on Tuesday afternoon. Fitting the coilovers was to be completed tonight by the owner (Ryan "SKYRYAN") and his offsider (Karl "inthisglass").

So i was at a pub having a few drinks when my phone rang. It was said offsider, who i will not name *cough* (Karl), who rang me with a dilemma they were having with the vehicle. I was told that the car was on axle stand but they were stuggling as there was a problem with the steering.

The conversation went similar to this........

OFFSIDER: "Brad should the steering be really tight when the car is jacked up?"

ME: "not really...how tight is it"

OFFSIDER: "It wont turn easy"

ME: "No, it should be fairly free, have you got the steering lock off?"

OFFSIDER: *yells* Ryan, wheres your car keys"

Small voice in the background: "over there"

Phone conversation goes silent......awkward pause.

ME: "good night, have fun!"

Laughter all round!

Maybe best to look for the simple solutions first before you rely on the help of an expert who will post your stupidity up on a public forum!

Ryan and Karl, you are idiots! :D :D :P :P :P :P

Im sure Ryan and Karl would love to hear your thoughts of this situation in this thread :P

BARD, YOU must have had a few more drinks than your thought.

i asked you if the the wheels were meant to be hard to rotate NOT TURN

we had the rear jacked up and when we were putting the wheels back on the diff felt like it was getting tighter the more we spun the wheels forward

rysies is worried that his diff is farked and said to call you for your words of wisdom

in the end we got the coilovers in, with no other problems and skyryan is now slammed on its hole :D

Possibilities:

Handbrake on?..

He has a fan-dangle'd LSD which could do it...

Calipers tight on the Rotors...

It was in gear, you were cranking the engine...

Calling a suspension expert about diffs? LOL brad aint god =P

But I'm sure he has spun a few rear wheels while the cars are jacked up, yeah?

Don't make me come lack-band your arse, Terry.

Unlikely, he is in sales...

+1

All brake pads will be pressing against the rotor's by default, some more then others.

I don't suppose you noticed if both wheels were spinning?

If they both were spinning, was it in the same direction, or different directions?

If only one was spinning, i'd be more worried about that.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
