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.

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.

Do a search buddy, the w/shops i previously mentioned are all in the east/ south east area. I am from the western suburbs, so i have no idea what the addresses to these w/shops are.

what type of driving are you doing to get that sort of fuel consumption? i get exactly the same from around town driving (largish country town, lotsa roundabouts, lotsa 50-60k zones

i get the ticking sound, however its inside my engine bay. thinking it could be the injectors. any ideas? (sorry to hijack this thread)

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.

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.

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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
