ok, so the stagea has developed a very strange sound coming from the passenger footwell area, i think from one of the motors/devices which are visible if you put your head just under the glovebox. its a loud clicking/thudding sound, which sounds like its coming from an electric motor at a rate of about 60bpm (once per second). at first it made the sound in groups of 20, then stopped for a few seconds, but recently its been doing it constantly. it also starts and stops intermittently.

friggin weird problem, and i cant seem to affect it at all. i fiddled with the air con controls with no effect. and since i cant affect it i cant pinpoint exactly what it is, ahh please help me!

this has happened in one of my cars b4... drive me nuts for a few mins so i hit the side of the dash pretty hard n it went away :S im pretty sure if i remember rightly it was sumthing to do with the heater... if you turn it off it goes away... and as you increas the fan speed it it gets faster... :S no idea apart from that lol

definately fresh air vent actuator, mine went when i bought my car. very easy to remove, then you just leave it open. i haven't bothered to fix it, it works for what i need it for now.

its just under the glovebox

its sounds like it may be one of the vent actuators, i just installed a stereo so i unplugged the climate control. im pretty sure all the plugs were put back in securely, but oh well i guess ill have to pull the whole damn thing out again....

is there some kind of reset for the system?

    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
    • That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 😅🤌🏼
