Hey i have recently just purchased a r32 4 dr with an rb25 in it. Anyways the annoying noise is like a loud "ticking" i have diagnosed the speedo as the ticking is in sync with the speedo needle if it makes sense (flicks to the ticking :P). It has a rb20 gearbox though even though the doosh told me it was a 25 box. I just did the clutch a week ago and asked my mechanic if its possible to grease the Assembly and he said keep grease away from it.

Is this a common problem for them ? I DID search and found a similar problem but it only happened when above a certain speed. Some speed alert thing. Mine happens regardless of speed.

If it sounds like a deck card flicking against a bike spoke, then I would say with almost 100% certainty that it is the speedo cable.

Mine snapped a month or two ago after making this clicking noise for some time.

Either one or two things fail. The end of the speedo drive "key" which inserts into your cluster breaks off the cable itself. OR the cable itself breaks like mine did from old age.

Easiest way to check:

  1. remove cluster to reveal the key which fits in the back of your cluster.
  2. Unscrew speedo cable from speedo drive located on the gearbox (do not remove the speedo drive itself!)
  3. Spin cable at speedo drive end. If the key at the cluster end does not rotate, you have yourself a broken cable.

IIRC ~100 dollars from Nissan and you can have yourself a new one. Check on Just Jap or Kudos motorsport for a replacement. May be cheaper than Nissan (most likely)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
