I get that and I find it very annoying. I have been meaning to check out what it is and take it off my car. I don't have HICAS anymore so I am happy to hear that it won't break anything else. Do you know where the relay is located?

AFAIK, it's supposed to happen. It's to keep the hydraulic pressure up to the HICAS unit.

If this is supposed to happen then is it normal to get a slight power drain ?

I notice it at night in idol , the headlights and dash lights flicker in time with the relay's and when the turbo timer is in countdown once the car is turned off at night the HICAS light can be seen clearly flashing in time with the relay's.

no it doesn't do that in most 32 GTRs i've driven/been in. it primes the pump when you turn the key to on, but no flickering light or clicking relay every 7 second.

Do you have any sugestions as to what it could be ? Im from Darwin NT and there are only 5 GTR's here 3 of them are 32's and no one has any experiance on electrics for this type of car.

I don't know why it does it. Mine has always done it and it has always annoyed me. Out of interest my car still does it despite the fact that I have taken out the HICAS unit, the soleniod in the middle of the car and the unit in the engine bay under the oil filter. I will be looking for this thing under my boot latch next time I get a chance - hopefully it will be gone after that - I will report back when it's done!

my 32 gtr does this also. when the attesa is off the click from the soliniod goes away. I have been under my car and it seems that the attesa pump on top of the diff is priming approx every 7 seconds when the click sounds. has anyone been able to cure this issue because with my a/c on when the light flicks while im driving i can feel it thru the steering wheel

same with my R32 GTR. The clicking relay is on the left side of the boot, rear wall, hidden behind the trim. IIRC correctly it's the leftmost one of the pair sitting there.

I wonder if it's simply electrical, or if a proper bleed of the ATTESA system will cure it?

has anyone fixed this? Because I am getting the same issue with the HICAS light flicking on and especially on the freeway after about 80kph the steering wheel moves on a weird angle..

also when the HICAS light flicks on it often causes my headunit to briefly turn off and on at the sametime..

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
