Are you looking for technical aspects of the actual picture or comments on the car?

Looks like a bent wishbone - maybe something weakened in the crash.
Steering pulling to one side? Track rod ends all ok?
It looks worse in the first pic, though it could just be the weight lifting off that wheel due to the track, maybe the wheels turned a bit and it looks wrong.

the car
There is nothing wrong, just changes to the front susp setup.
The BEFORE pic is after the crash (crash was mostly rear end, front just got the rad / FMIC shifted when it did a nose stand )
edit - realised i didnt post the before pic
BEFORE

taken last night, just before the bottom end started knocking :doh:
The front has had more caster dialed in. About +4.5deg which isnt really that much. Surprised the bumper is so close to the wheel! Maybe that is some left over problems from the first tyre wall it went through face first! The bumper may be pushed back a bit.

by all accounts it feels much better.
Its supposed to be further forward.
I'm just surprised how close that adjustment has brought the wheel to the bumper

Im by no means an expert on these things, but I have worked on lots of nissans over the years.
A few R32's do seem to have the front wheel sitting very close to the arch, im not sure why.
But if it looks right on a visual check, and feels fine, it might well be okay.
i'd still check nothings bent though!

the first pic seems to amplify it a bit due to the angle its taken at, but yeah thats about it.
