Sounds like the car is scraping somewhere when i turn sharply to the right, i mean super sharp on the verge of loosing the back....

Only got 17's on my R33 Gtst series 2, cannot see any visible scrape marks under the front wheel arch or the gtr front bar....

Only happens when i turn right sharply, usually i wouldnt bother about it but im enetering a texi event in August and wandering if anyone else has had this prob....

Suspension is standard, wheels are 17's gtr copies, suspension seems fine.....

If you got a GTST with GTR 'Copy' rims (assuming there GTR offset) The offset could well be your problem?

Turn the wheel hard to the right and then inspect all the plastic inner guards on both sides for obvious wear. Look real close at where the wheel is sitting and if there is any slight marks on the plastics nearby. Check if any of the plastic clips that hold the inner guards in place are missing, etc.

double check ur brake disc backing plates arent too close to your disc rotors.... (thin metal dust plate that sits behind the rotor to stop dirt n grap getting in the brakes).... make sure there is a good gap between the plate and ur rotor coz if there isnt under extreme sideways loads they may flex and touch.

mine does it. it is actually a plastic scraping sound. not rubber on metal. very obvious when you hear it. I assume it is the inner arch lining. Just take the wheel off and inspect the guard. It may have come loose. I got to do mine too.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

      After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
