Hi All,

I’ve done a search and couldn’t find anything on this specific topic.

On startup I have this weird buzzing sound from the rear of the car which goes away in about 10 seconds.

It’s definitely not the fuel pump. Sounds like something 4WD or HICAS related pressurising? It can be heard intermittently for about 2 seconds every 30 seconds or so after the first “prime”. 

Is it a normal V-Spec thing, or am I losing pressure somewhere?

Hope someone can shine some light on this.

Thanks!

Atessa priming. 

So this is normal?

It does it every 30-40 seconds for a second or two after the first prime.

This is my first GTR so I know nothing about what’s normal or not lol.

You should be happy that's all you hear.

Just imagine in 1995, all these whizzbang fancy electronic stuff clicking and buzzing away while your neighbours had to pull a lever to prime their carburettor.

Very true!

welcome to nugget ownership!!!

Sounds like I may need deeper pockets lol

I had the same issue on my GTR. Change the Nitrogen canister on the atessa pump and bleed the system ( you can search for a how to )

Just jap sell the part.

Hmm ok, so there is a problem then? I’ve read that the nitrogen canister causes the relays to click, haven’t heard anything about the canister and my issue till now.

So you had the same issue and replacing this fixed it? As in doesn’t make intermittent buzzing noises now?

Just want to be sure before I spend ~$480 on this!

The buzzing noise on my car was the atessa pump running. the relay will click on to turn on the pump.

If you start the car lay under the back of it and listen to the pump. if it turns on and runs every 30-40 sec then the canister needs changing.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
