Hey guys iv'e got 2 relays behind the ecu in the passenger kick panel that will continuously click(It can be heard out side the car very easily ) when the car is locked, does anyone know what the relays are for and know why they might be clicking

Paste from IM.

Leading suspicion then is that one of them is misbehaving. Turning power on and off.

Those relays adjacent the ECU (well, at least one of them) is the ECCS relay, controls power to the ECU, and hence everything else. When you turn on the ignition, power goes to a terminal on the ECU. The ECU then turns on an output that energises the ECCS relay, that provides power to most things that are needed to run the engine. When you turn the ignition off, the ECU holds that output on for a number of seconds before pulling the power.

Turbo timers act to keep ignition power on after you turn the engine off. They are a leading suspect in this sort of shenanigans. Immobilisers/alarms act to chop power off in that circuit and they can also cause shit.

Turbo timers are stupid. You should get rid of it anyway.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      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
