Clacking sound from Centre console

Hi everyone,

My car has recently developed a clacking sound coming from the centre console. It starts when i turn the car on, and dies off after a few seconds (5-10). At first i thought it was the cd player, but it does it even when its off (detached face). From the sounds of it, i would guess it is coming from air vents.

Anyone have any ideas, or experienced before?

cheers,

hb/

Mine does this occasionally..

In my case it appears to be the actuator that controls where the air goes (face/floor etc).

Mine has a bit of a mental fit and begins to go back and forth.

A quick fiddle with the air direction and it fixes it.

Join the club boys..mine does the same upon startin the car up for about 7 seconds then it stops thank god.

Heater box is under the front passenger dash i think. Your right u have to pull the whole dash out to get to it.

My mate just did it to his R33 gtr. He had to pull the dash out to get to the heater box.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
