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?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
