RS4S clicking from dashboard problem

my s2 rs4s has developed a clicking noise from the dash - somewhere behind the steering wheel it sounds like a decent sized relay is clicking. It's doing it all the time (with the engine going) ie even if I'm stationary and not in gear..

It's also happening at a consistent interval ie about every 16.8 seconds.

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

It could be related to my other problem, which started a few days ago, though possibly not - ie  my coil light is on, so one of them might have a fault (speaking of that, if anyone has a link to a 'how to change your coil please post it as I'm sure it's up here somewhere but I can't find it (I think 'search' is having problems tonight..).

What's a coil light? There will be a DIY on changing your spark plugs in the general DIY section and you have to remove the coils to get at them. If you are getting new coils go for OEM or Splitfires. To search use Google - most Stagea or RB related questions will produce a large number of SAU posts or threads.

Ok, coils fixed, but the relay (well, it sounds like one) is still clicking every 16 seconds.

It was in the engine compartment, lhs next to the steering, black case in front of the brown box. Can anyone tell me what it is??

ok, pulled the relay out, and the 4wd warning light goes on..

So something in the 4wd system is getting this relay to pulse on every 16 seconds...

I had a read of

 and maybe it is something similar (though my abs light is not on).

Anybody with suggestions?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

      Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
