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.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
