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.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
