I get the same noise...

Its sounds like the blinkers are on but its a little bit faster than the blinker noise... It annoyed the sheet out of me as well... I found if you use your blinker lift it up oh so slightly so you hear a little "click" but it doesnt engage your blinkers it will stop the retchard noise!

Anyone else had the problem with an r33?

I know this is an old thread but ever since i ran injector cleaner through my car i have been getting the ticking noise. So could some1 explain exactly what "lifters" are, why its ticking and what i can do to fix it ??

If i take it to a workshop to fix it how much would it cost you rekon ??

Im almost definate it would be the injectors. Best way to tell is by getting a large screwdriver, put the screwdriver on each injector and put your ear up to the end of the screwdriver. If you hear a distinctive injector noise in time with the ticking noise of the engine it will be the injectors. Do that and tell us what happens. In order to fix it don't use that injector cleanser crap that you put in your fuel tank because it does next to nothing. The only proper way to get injectors cleaned is to get the injectors physically removed and cleaned by a rail clean machine, does the job and guarentees success.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
