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.

Is it doing it all the time, or just when you start up the climate control or make a change to the settings??

It must be major if its that annoying. Some only do it a tiny bit, and it never worries me that much. I have the relays, which are basically motors which open the vents when you turn up or down the temperature to mix the aircon and heating. Its the sound of them trying to open, and slipping and hence the ticking. There are three of them which control each of the different vents.

I can take the ones off shown and can send them to you for $30, let me know via PM.

mmmmm those relay motors are not usually cheap, i had the same prob and ended up buying a second hand one from just japs for over $100 from memory... Fitting it was a task, apparently it is an extremely common prob!

its that poofter on the top of the box that does it....i have repaired one of them once...i think the gears strip out on one side inside the mechanism......the motor rotates but it doesnt use all the gear so you can take the little gear off and spin it around a bit......but you have to take the dash out to do this....about 1 hour out...1 hour back in...

Stepper motor not relay!!! relay annoying!!

Mine does it too but I can't fault the operation of the climate control.

I hardly ever hear it, Thanks remote start!

and if i tried to remove my dash it would take forever because of the insane alarm and tracking wiring!

So in short install remote engine start and you will hardly ever hear the stupid clicking noise!:D

I very well may, think my alarm sh|t itself, might as ewll get a new one wif remote start and auto window winder thingy when it arms.

Thanks heaps guys!

you will need a spare thousand dollars to get a name brand alarm that does that :)

motor/relay/doova/whatever... $100 ?!! I've still got all 3 of them sitting here, the guy who said he would take them never got back to me.. PM an offer if you want it.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
