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.

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
