Im having issues with my volts, on my turbo timer it shows the voltage and on a charged battery its like high 13v or else it sits on 13.1- 13.3 at max. is there any way i get make it have a higher voltage and more constant? and when i turn window heater on and fan it drops to 12.7/8 and my car struggles to idle or even drive as its just popping heaps. Also when i drive its just constantly like popping or just cant cruise at any speeds without it like gurgling and spluttering. any ides?

one last thing haha when my car idles i have this faint ticking noise on the engine and then when I put my foot down i gets loud, usually after boost kick in.any ideas on these issue?

thanks heaps in advance :D

check belt tension and battery condition/voltage.get ur mate to check voltage drop.the ticking noise could be a wrongly installed spark plug or faulty coil pack.by the sounds of the way its performing i would be checking those things first.

My voltage will sit around 13.1-13.4v (idle) and I don't have any problems, but I've never seen it dip into 12.x before.

It may be worth cleaning out the AAC valve (R32s it's not as easy to do as later generations), since when the heater or aircon is turned on, the ECU will compensate by opening up the AAC to let more air in.

Sounds like the ticking is gasket related. Back when I didn't know much about skylines, my car had a ticking sound which drove me insane. It was the injectors and its normal.

Ticking isn't bad, a knocking sound is always a concern.

Yer when it drops it cant hold any idle, but ill check the ACC

Ticking sound could be leaking turbo gasket.

is there any easy way to figure out if it is?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
