So, I've had this car for almost a year and I have never noticed this, hence why I'm here.

Let's say your driving off boost. Then you push the throttle a little further until you make boost, as soon as it goes from 0psi to positive boost, there's a click, like a relay click, coming from where the boost solenoid is in the bonnet.

Has it always done that? Haha. I'm paying a lot of attention to it now... Grrr

Thanks

It must be quite common, had to follow my old man his pathfinder recently, when we went onto the motorway on ramp I was going to fly past him, but just before thought I felt something vibrating in the back and ended up not even keeping up with him! :action-smiley-069: haha, car's been fine since

yes, if you turn the ignition on you should hear it clicking as the solenoid opens and closes.

mine sounded like a playing card in bicylce spokes haha

He is right, I shat my bricks when I heard it too. Put the ignition to "on".. "click" i kept wondering for a couple of days and with some research it was the solenoid.

yes, I get that all the time haha

usually after I give the car a squirt...spend the next hour listening for broken bits lol

This is exactly the same as me

I've spent every drive since my tune listening and popping bonnet.

So much so that my bonnet cable is farked

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
