2 problems from 2 different skylines.

1 First problem is when my friends S1 is underload and boosting a rapid clicking noise can sometimes be heard coming from where the turbo is. This only occurs occassionally however more so when its colder or higher boost is run. Just your thoughts on what it could be thanks.

2 My other friend has a series 2 which recently had a bosche 500hp rated fuel pump installed after the stock one failed and has noticed at about 4500rpm the engine begins to struggle with something and shudders when the foot is to the floor. He took it to Toycar and they said it was because he didn't have enough back pressure from a turbo back 3 or 3.5 inch exhaust. Just wondering if anyone has any other theories as i know plenty of skylines with large after market exhausts that don't suffer from this problem.

Cheers for any help

for ur turbo question, i reckon ur turbo might be on its way out.. is it a stock R33 turbo? how much boost are you running?

for ur second question, its seems ur mate is having coilpack problems which are common in R33s.. check out the following thread for help.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119403

Thanks for the help guys i think i have the Series 2 problem figured out with a little help from Mick, thanks mate.

As for the series one clicking noise i'm still unsure. Almsot sounds like a car with a flat battery trying to turn over and it just clicks if any one knows the noise. Or the compresser or impeller clipping a wall, which i know it couldn't be.

The car was recently serviced and tuned running at 9psi

Mine does this too... I'm running an apexi turbo tho..

What boost controller is he using? It sounds like a relay clicking back and forth reeeally quickly aye.. .maybe 20 times a second?

Yeah i'm running the Apexi Power FC Boost solenoid kit.. Its ticks like a little bugger when on boost but i can hardly hear it over the exhaust/turbo whine anyway! Im pretty sure there is nothing wrong with it...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
