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?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
