that ticking is the AVCR, they all do that... you should download the manual from the US website... it has some good info and tells you about the ticking noise... i was warned about it when i bought mine...
my fiancee has a new pulsar Q hatch... great little car with all the creature comforts and 700km's out of one take of fuel (i was the skyline did that!) oh yeah with a 6 year warranty!
