<br />covered b4..<br />its some worn out gear<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ive got a quick fix for that problem<br />To get rid of that annoying tapping sound everytime you turn the ignition on.<br />Take out the contol unit for the fan/aircon located above your stereo.There will be two plugs in the back of the unit.Now if your sitting in the drivers seat of your car looking at the unit .... the right plug is the plug you want.On this plug there will be about 17 wires,the red wire(maybe an orange stripe on it as well ...cant remember) furthest to the right is the one that sends power to the servo with the stripped gear.<br />Cut this wire and you will no longer have that annoying tapping sound.<br />If you want to pull the whole dash apart and replace the stripped gear then you have alot more time on your hands than me<br />this guide is for a r33 gtst<br />hope this helps Edited by r33gts4turbo

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
