Hey Guys,

When i take the Key out of the Ignition and the Turbo timer is running there is a clicking noise in the Engine bay somewhere. It only clicks when the key is out and turbo timer is running. the HICAS lights flashes continuouslly on the dash and it ticks away like something is trying to Click into place or something..

Any Help????

Doesn't click when key is in and driving so no problems there!!!

Could well be a relay as they will click. If it is a relay there is a reason for it to be operating. Best to do a diagnostic on the HICAS system. If you dont know how to download the workshop manual.

cheers for that mate!!! The Abs Light is on in the dash and apparently the relays are the problem on the ABS unit! could this be the clicking noice even when the hicas light flashes on the dash when the turbo timer is running???

When the engine Is ticking and clicking when turbo timer is running the powersteering pipe seem to rattle near the Battery! like the pipes are not getting fluid in them but it seem to be steering fine!! I think there the steering fluid pipes that run beside the battery and between the radiator!

nope.. because it would be clicking when on idle too.. not jsut when key is out

could it be possible that when u wired it to the ecu that u have a few wires in contact with each other. this may be causing the problem?

Umm i havent touched the Turbo Timer since buying the Car over 5 years ago! Its been going for a few months like this now and it kind of annoying!!! Anyone else out there have this problem??? Where is the HICAS Solenoid anyway???

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
