Hey I have just bought an r33
It has been driven into a gutter at quite a fast speed and hit the front left wheel I noticed the lower passenger control arm was very bent I am wondering would this cause the car to violently pull to the left and right when turning also what else could have been damaged upon impact steering rack end maybe ?? Also what would make it pull violently to left or right if the control arm doesn't thanks

Yes, most definitely. Any bent suspension part will cause the vehicle pull in any direction. I would take it to a body shop so they can put it on a machine to see if the frame itself is not bent or needs to be straightened. If it doesnt then I would look into replacing whatever seems to be bent, and have a front end or four wheel alignment done.
