Hi guys, after all the great help I've had so far from this site I thought I'd get into the next thing that's been bugging me about my car. Once it's warmed up and sitting at idle it makes this weird lumpy 'ribbet' noise, maybe once per second. I'd like to find out why it does this, and 'fix' it/alter it. The douchebag who sold me the car told me 'ohhh it's just like that... cause of all the work that's done to it....'. I wasn't so naive as to believe that, but I didn't figure it was a terribly huge problem anyway.

If you could take a listen (turn your speakers up - there's no sudden loud noises, don't worry!) I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks heaps guys.

Ravi.

if its a modified engine could be anything .. maybe an aftermarket fuel pump?From what I've read they can be very noisy and I imagine it'd sound something like that. I'm sure someone else will be able to tell you something more useful :down:

Anyone else have any ideas? I also have some trouble on cold starts, if this helps at all. It starts no problems but the revs stay low and it can sometimes die, unless I step on the gas a tiny bit.

Do these factors point to AAC valve?

My car used to idle funny when one of my coil packs was starting to shit itself.

Happens every time i turn my car on too, something to do with the A/F ratio etc

although my cars an N/A R34 not a modified GTST... lol

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
