Hi, I have an R32 GTS4. I have noticed for some time a clicking noise from the boot of my car. When I hear the clicking noise the volts in my car drop for a second. At idel the clicking happens every minute or so.

I have followed the noise to the boot and have found a relay just to the passenger side of the lock (monuted behind some of the grey trim between the lcok and the passenger side tail light).

What is this relay for? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks, Ben.

BH SLO32; do you know what this relay does? Is it switching the fuel pump on and off or is it controlling high rpm vs. low rpm for on throttle vs. off throttle?

It is used by the computer to switch the fuel pump on and off. The coil side of the relay is earthed by the computer. It won't draw much current.

I took another look at this today. I noticed that there are two relays. I unplugged the relay on the passenger side of the car as this seemed to be the one doing the clicking. My fuel pump seems to be running ok and the goes was going normally though my 4WD has stopped working. I assume that one of the relays controls the fuel pump and the other one is something to do with the ATTESSA; what do you think this woudl be for?

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
