R33 Rear Subframe Question

Last time we took my car out we noticed that the tyres on the rear are sticking out 10mm further on the passenger side than the drivers side, we automatically assumed that the cradle bushes must be shagged, The car is also fitted with alloy lock rings on the cradle which should make the bushes redundant, i have since removed the lock rings to inspect the bushes and they are pretty much perfect, well as perfect as they can be in 15yr old car,

I have measured pretty much everything i could under there and i have found that the cradle mounting bolts are not central to the car, everything else measured symetrical, i have no idea how this can be but it is

Now my questions are...

1. Do i make offset solid bushes to relocate the cradle to the center or do i leave it where its is?

2. Will it effect the car measurably on the track either way?

everything i can think of, subframe mounts to the wheels, to the hubs, lenght of control arms, etc etc. it confused the hell out of me till i put the wheels back on, when i measure between any two points on the cradle itself they are the same, it's only when i measure points between the body to cradle that any difference appears

i even measured the guards thinking it might just be a shit panel.

yerrr ive heard of this on the gtr's... the left always sits in a little bit more than the right. i have no idea why this is.

my guess is it may be something to do with a crumple zone or something... so it sort of gives way and pushes to the side instead of coming through the a back seat.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
