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???

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
