there are hundreds of electronic motors in R33, take pic!.

is it possiblw that sounds are from under the middle or left right DASH? more like "click click click" sounds... then most like click aircon air acurator where teeth are worn off.

or its possible that ATTESSA pump is working -(if youhave GTS4)

or you are hearing things - I go see GP if I were you :)

cheers

Pva glue - I have the 'click click click' noise when i first start my car... like an aircon vent is jammed or something.. its probably the aircon air acurator like you said, where is this located? and is it repairable, or do i need to buy a new one?

this is a common problem in 33s (also heard of 32s having it as well)

as long as u open the vents to both face and feet you wont get it.

you can get the actuator from nissan, but the whole dash needs to come apart... just leave it imo

as to the 100km/hr thing, i got no idea - could be your fuel pump?

Take pic of the motor at 100km/hr ? ...errmmm..that might be abit difficult :D

i dont think its the aircon coz i rarely turn it on (petrol is too precious to be wasted on climate control in the car)

Its not a clicking sound, sounds more like an electric motor moving something and lasts for 1 sec , then when you go below 100km/hr you hear the sound again (im assuming it moves it back into its original position)...

Hey you don't have that ghey electric front spoiler do you?? I think it 'deploys' at 100kmh and would retract below that.

Should also be a button on the dash to do it manually (left side of the steering column)

the front spoiler is kool :P mine goes down at 80km/h though :O

It could be your concious telling you to slow down!

Hehe. Seriously, it could be lots of things, my aircon did the same thing till I got the shits and cut the belt. Also my mate found it was a bearing in the power steering pump that made a noise at mid RPMs. It could be lots of things, just keep an eye (or ear) on it and if it gets worse take it to a TRUSTED mechnic shop to get it checked out.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
