Hiya guys i got a bit of a problem....

When i turn on my car or if my cars on and i turn on my climate control, there is a slight knocking sound coming from behind the unit inside the dash. This lasts maybe 10-15 seconds but everything seems to be working fine!!

Any1 else had this problem or know what it might be?

Cheers

:)

had the same sound as well. i suspect that it could be the internal vent opening up to allow air in. i usually circulate the air inside the car when the A/C is on but when i turn it off, i noticed wind still blowing in when the car is moving and i realised that the vent has opened up to allow gushing air.

may or may not be...

yeah, there are two relays (motors) which slide open the vents in the heater unit to control between the aircon and heater to give your xx degrees. If one is slightly dodgy, it may make that ticking noise - its like "slipping" on its catch.

Its no biggy, most skylines seem to do it to some extent. It doesn't worry me..

see this:

This is the problem.. that black thing ontop is one of the relays (there is another on the side of that box) that slides back and forward to open the vents in there. If its slightly stuffed it will "click" when operating.

I have this problem too! i fkn hate it. first i tried punching the **** outa the dash, obviously didnt work. What is the parts name that i need to replace??????????????????/

im fkn sick of it, if any1 knows, tell me so i can replace it. or if any1 has it. URGENT, AS I NEED TO SELL MY CAR AND CANT!!

THANKS

you could buy my heater box for $40.. it has the relays on it. Then you'll have to pay somebody to pull apart your entire dash to the firewall (or do it yourself) and replace these components, which is about a 6 hour job.

you still want to fix it?

Hello predetor. Yes i do wona fix, i fkn hate that sound and sick of punching the **** out of the dash hoping it stops. OK so you have this part called the 'heater box', if you are mega positive that the noise will stop, then yes I will definetly buy it. How big is the part and how much is shipping, as I am located in melbourne, I am going to get it installed for free from my mechanic, so not a problem.

I got the same prob too...

The way I stop it (temporarily) is push the ^ button once (to turn temp up) then the v button a few times (to turn temp down)

you can do this with the unit on or off doesn't matter, and it stops it for a little while...

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
