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

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...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
