Hi guys,

Recently ive realised that my cars been making funny noises especially in the cold morning when turning the car on for the first time of the day. Problem is i don't know whether this sound was always there or not cuz its really not THAT loud enough to hear from inside the car.

What happened was, i was doing an oil change so my bonnet was open then i turned the car on to let the oil circulate, then when i turned it on i hear this short "crunching" sorta sound from the passengers side whereabouts the a/c thing is but couldn't precisely locate where its coming from. It happens everytime i turn the car on and on and slowly goes away till when the engine is completely warm. So please could anyone help with some suggestions or have had similar issues like mine and tell me what this is?

I would appreciate it alot as im in a tight budget go actually go see a mechanic for this at the moment as my rear bars been hit and need repairs :D

Cheers

To give abit of info to those with GTT R34:

- It usually makes a similar sorta noise when turning the climate control knob from high/low but its from the dash that i hear it.

- The issue is i hear it under the bonnet so i lift the bonnet up and try looking for the noise and its whereabouts the BOV is

What im again curious about is, could this come from the same matter? Anyone have these climate control sounds? then similar when turning car on?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
