hi guys, can you please help me with a question...

i just installed a apexi boost control kit for my power fc. i drive an r33 gtst by the way...

when i hit positive manifold pressure i can hear a ticking noise from either the engine bay or the ecu...its faint but quite easy to hear.

is this the boost control solenoid starting open? have you got the same noise?

i have just fitted a hks gtrs turbo kit as well, but only noticed this noise after installing the boost control kit...

ok cool. its quite a fast ticking....

my car is getting tuned today at bathis and borge auto in botany. will let you know how it goes...

are you going to any track days soon? would love to catch up and meet you dude...

i cant take mine to the track untill i get a oil cooler and do something about the suspension and brakes!! lol so it will be a while since i come down... might go down to wsid in the next couple of month, nearly ready.. got everything i need just need to install it all and re-tune it.

post up a dyno sheet when you can.. would be interesting

ok cool. its quite a fast ticking....

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
