hope someone can help me out with this, there's a noise that sometimes comes from the rear of the car after shut down. quite loud, but disappears before i can get under the car.

hard part is describing it. it's not a buzzing sound and i don't think it's the fuel pump as it doesn't sound muffled as though it's in the tank. sounds like a small foghorn, lasts for a few seconds then dies away. almost like a seal letting go under pressure and then sealing again as the pressure decreases.

sounds like the HICAS rear equalisation pump...evenly distributes the fluid pressure in the rear rack on shutdown.

Hi Paul, didn't know they did that. Is there a pump that sits near the ATTESSA pump that does this? Mine no longer has the rear rack but if there's a pump that performs that function maybe it's having a wobbly.

remove the plug from it...its next to the diff on the drivers side from memory.

since i removed all the HICAS gear from mine ive never heard that noise again...so yes its the HICAS...its like a groaning noise hey?

it may not be a pump but a pair of solinoids pulsing.

old topic but 12 months later and i've found the prob in an idle afternoon. seems to be the fuel check valve between the tank and charcoal can. if you apply vacuum to the fuel tank line where it normally joins to the can, it replicates the noise. no more strange fart$ng noises.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
