Skyline R33 Gtst Back Wheel Sticks Out!

Hi guys,

I have a skyline R33 GTST 1996 Series II. And as the topic says, my right back wheel sticks out past the guard, which is also resulting in it scrubbing, only when driven over bumbs or turning fast. To give the quick story, basically, I came to this realization of this issue with this one rear wheel sticking out, after fitting a set of R33 GTR wheels, 17x9 +30 with advan AD08's all round, 235/45/R17 on front and 255/40/R17 on the rears, which me and an owner of a Bob Jane store, researched lots to get the best fitting sized tires, for these wheels, so I'm very frustrated! as i know these fit beautiful, as my other 3 wheels are beautiful.

Before these wheels i had a set of 19 x 8.5 all round, with 245/35/R19 on fronts and 265/30/R19 on rears - I had NO issues. But I have recently looked at old photos, with these 19 inch wheels on, and you can actually see that the rear right does stick out, but was never a problem, and couldn't even notice. So it has always been like that, just these new wheels and tires show it, and it also hits the guards, which took out slight slicing of my rear tire - so angry! Now I now that im noticing it now rather then before, as these tires are 40 at the rear, in height instead of a 30..well i think that any how?

Bob Jane has NFI what is causing it, went to my mechanic he originally thought a worn bush of some sort, but after he inspected the car, it is not that and he said it has to do with just adjusting the rear wheel(s), pulling it in with the slight adjustable adjustments, being toe, camber all that. he also said if a wheel alignment place says we cant adjust any further, then may have to put an adjustable control arm..? Obviously if i roll the guards that wont scrub, but it will still be sticking out, which isn't neat at all.

My mechanic, got a measuring thing, the one with that bubble, the leveler (sorry not sure of name lol) and standing it up against both rear wheels, they actually, ARE different, left side (which is sweet) bubble is in middle, right (which is the issue) the bubble is not in the middle, but away from the car...

Also, the car is not lowered, fully stock standard height.

Sorry guys if this is all over the place, first post, and want to try explain the best as i can so you have the best understanding.

Thank you very much in advance cheers.gif

either roll that guard, camber arms or smaller tyre.

my car is same, as far as i know all cars are like this its only ever so slight but when your going for a flush setup it can make things annoying.

strange that your at stock hieght having issues. Its not big deal imo and an easy fix.

wait for some other opinions they will likely be better than mine :thumbsup:

hey mate, i see it's your first post but R33s aren't classic.

they aren't made before 1990/R31.

I've moved the thread to the suspension section.

You are saying the car is not even side to side, right?

If so...I know you've said you've been to your mechanic and a Bob Jane...but I think you should try something else. The geometery is based on simple measurements - if you can see it is out by eye, a decent suspension shop will be able to identify what is bent

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By Trinicandian · Posted

      Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.

      So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
