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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
