when you turn the ignition to on , i can hear a clicking noise under the dash . it clicks about 5 to 10 times and then nothing. very annoying

pulled plastic dash surround off and put my hand into a/c unit i can feel the clicking through the plastic the noise is just around this area.

the clicking seemed to start after i had a cd player in the car .

Hey mate,

If the clicking is comming from the air con vents when you turn your key to "acc" or start up the car its just the vents opening.

Mine does that on start up, goes away, and then if i put the air con on and have it on feet, and then move it to body, it clicks.

Not a real big problem just another thing comming in most skylines.

A mates 33 and another mates 34 all do the same.

how do i fix it ? do you know what it is ?

it is a little bit annoying, always having passengers ask "whats that sound?"

ive had two series 2 R33's and both did not have the problem initially..

only developed a few months after owning them in both cars :laugh:

If it goes on for 10-15 seconds you will find that it is a stripped plastic cog on the hot/cold blend door, theres a few threads on it around, have to pull the whole dash pad off to fix it.

and we have a weaner. lol but seriously your correct. however i only know of it happening in 33's.

do we have any links to posts that give a detailed descripiton of fixing the problem? Ive heard jus getting the whole motor from a wrecked skyline (just the little motor that operates the gear, with the gear attatched) will fix it but i there any other way like just replacing the cog?

Mines been doing it for a while, i need a new dash so can do both at once if i can get a correct fix :thumbsup:

Nissan want between 250 and 400 for the motor (couldnt tell which one it was from the fast diagrams) its a bit to much just for that

Anyway if theres a post about fixing it then someone please link it i here, ive searched a couple of times but never really found much more then whats already been said here

    • Looking at the photos, you could easily just drop this pipe and dump into atmosphere  Just 1 or 2 quick hits for data acquisition - if have a heat shield material and/or sheet metal, maybe just use wire/metal cable ties and attach it in a way to deflect heat from melting nearby wires.

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.
