_bobo_ Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Okay well i got a GTS rb25de r33 s2. i got a few problems just wondering if anyone can help out. i know theres been a few posts on some of the issue but itheres some that i cant find. so i thought i chuck them all in one. 1. Sometimes i hear a sort of ticking or bubbling sort of sound from the car when idling and dont know what it is?? coming from drivers side under the dash towards the back. 2. Fuel consumption is shit...approx 300-350km a tank!! :S so im getting it serviced at MIDAS this week should i ask them to check the : spark plugs, fuel filter/pump, o2 sensor... cause i dont want to ask them to check it and then have them assuming i think i need something replaced so they can charge me for parts when i dont need them. & would they get hold of a NGK sensor or me or would i have to?? p.s im getting it serviced so would they do that for me? sorry with all the questions just dont want to spend unncessary $$$ when i dont need to.

Al Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 You're about to make you first mistake. Take it to a w/shop that knows imports, someone like Sabbadin, RE Customs, Racepace, etc. (these are all on that side of town) The bubbling sound could be various things, so go to a good w/shop and get it checked out.

nizmonut Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 on the back of the intake chamber (nearest end to the fire wall) is a brown two pin plug and a purple two pin plug. on the forums here on how remove/clean/reinstall this device. get your spark plugs gapped down to .8 or when it goes for the service get them to put in new ones gapped to .8 not 1.1 dont be particular i have run platnum/ iridium bosch and ngk and i have found 5 dollar ngk's do the same job. check all your vaccum lines for cracks and deteriation, over time they get brittle, may look ok but leak like a mo'fo. i had a similar sound coming from my car when the engine change was done, the heater hose was airlocked as for GODZLR, check your pcv valve, undo it plug the hole and start the car up. if the rattle aint there the spring in the pcv valve is screwed.

KezR33 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Japanese Auto Importers in Carrum Downs is pretty good. The place isn't as tidy as many mechanics, but the owner is really genuine guy, and a Skyline lover. He really knows his stuff, and inexpensive too. The number is; (03) 9775 0593 And it's at 37 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.

MBS206 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Bleed your cooling system, with your heater turned on. You have air in the heater box in side the car by the sounds of it. Then just get a normal service. Edit: Injectors are usually noisy too I've found on most Skylines, and "tick" quite loudly.
