i have this awful ticking aswell except not just at idle..... clicks about every 30secs the whole time the motor is running!!

also when i push the button to lock in the 4wd it clicks twice really quickly....

picked the car up 3 days ago so is still covered by warranty....

all the fluid looks fresh so im thinking they didnt bleed the system.

i will put up what they find.

My ATESSA relay was clicking every few seconds. Did a bunch of research, settled on it being the accumulator. 1997 25x model. 80k km's. My current daily. Followed this guide: https://www.gtr

Problem solved! So here's the solution if you have this clicking relay problem (and it is because of the "flat" accumulator - probably is though): - with engine/ignition off, open hydraulic bleeder

well went in today and the mechanics at mitsubishi were scratchin their heads...

will prob have to go to dvg nissna in midland...

is it ok to be driving it around like this cause i think it is getting worse.. pulled the fuse out and the 4wd light came on and decided that the light would be more annoying

Yeah definitely don't pull the fuse, don't drive it without the fuse without removing the front driveshaft as well! apparently you have to drop front driveshaft to avoid doing damage in 2wd mode, not like R32's where u could just pull the fuse...

Lol just imagining a bunch of Mitsubishi mechanics all going 'wtf is THAT?' My clicking is only about every 10 seconds-30seconds when the revs are low(say 1,500 down to idle) and I have been driving around like this for a couple weeks; but I don't know how bad yours is... personally I would get it fixed asap, attesa pumps are expensive I hear.

  • Locate air bleed connector. In an R34 its in a panel under the dash. In and R32/R33 its in the drivers side kickpanel. Connect and disconnect this wire to run the ATTESA pump.

Well that is on a skyline I'm pretty sure (R32?) but I think I have found the Stagea one, I think it's the black connector (jumper) under the driver's side dash, on the firewall, at the bottom, to the right... sort-of at the back of the driver's side kickpanel... I will take a photo sometime.

Basically I believe the purpose of the jumper is for bleeding the ATTESA system without having to have the engine running. I think it works like thus:

- turn ignition on, but don't start engine.

- remove the jumper.

- the attesa pump starts and holds a constant pressure in the attesa hydraulic system, allowing for a very easy 'one-man' bleed operation where you only have to open the bleed valve(s) and let fluid out.

As I say, I only think that's what happens, from other members' advice and from reading sites like that one... but I reckon this is pretty close. I'm going to try bleeding mine as the clicking is getting worse and is annoying. It could also be doing harm. Fault codes say 77, which I think is the pressure switch. The manual shows that being integral to the pump assembly, just in front of the pump/diff. But there may be a wiring problem; hopefully just a fouled connector, perhaps from when they did my underbody cleaning at quarantine.... well I can hope.

Hey Elle, if you turn up at the cruise start you'll find plenty of Stageas without clicking relays.

I had one a few weeks ago............. i just couldn't work out where it was coming from, I was try to fix my lights, and was half sitting on the sill, but I had my fat ass against the electric seat control, it was a minimum low height, and was clicking cos it was overloaded!! :down:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
