Hi guys

1997 Nissan Skyline R33 S2

Im getting a ticking sound that seems to come from the front right wheel

- alignment done

- tie rod ends replaced

- suspension check - all good , nothing loose except for front right wheel having slightly to much camber

- jacked car up, span wheel - no noise - nothing in way

- rechecked if any cords or anything else in way , all tucked away perfectly.

- doesn't happen when turning

- no difference when breaking

- no difference whether accelerating/decelerating

- noticable from 20km.h to 80km/h - after that sound stops

- car drives fine , steers fine etc..

This is driving me crazy, any suggestions? Could it be cv joints , bearings , stone caught in caliper etc? Anyone been through this before after checking what was listed above?

Your car doesnt have cv joints at the front so you can eliminate that off your list

Swap front right tyre for rear left

See if that changes anything

good idea

Check under guard liners? Or try removing guard liners and driving the car?

Glad you sorted it. :thumbsup:

was that "Tyres Plus"? Plus what? Headaches... :laugh:

I had tyres rotated at "Tyres and More". More because they didn't tighten the nut on my center caps and I lost one. Had to buy another. :(

Yes tyres plus Menai - dont like to bash shops but when i went there the first , they backed my exhaust onto the lift , causing the boss to start screaming at his apprentice and punching some tyres laying around - while im sitting in the car hopping my exhaust is okay,

The second time I went there, they did an alignment, car was still pulling to the left horribly , and took over 45 min to do it.

Just felt like they didn't want me there , didn't like the arrogance....but was okay with that since i assumed the work was top notch, Apparently it isn't..

Oh well ,that's what I get for taking my car anywhere other then Unique Automotive.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
