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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
