now i know this may be really hard to explain as none of you are actually here, but i was just wondering about a couple of noises my car has developed(1990 Sil80 CA18DET)(i have had the car two days, so it may be that i'm just being more aware of the noises), anyway

the first noise

when i am coming on boost at around the 50km mark, and it gears up (i drive an auto) it lets out a small sound as it gears up, it sounds sort of like a small amount of boost is being let out, was just wondering if that was normal/not problematic (I have an aftermarket BOV, think it might be boost leak?

the second noise

when the car gets turned on, i noticed a strange almost electric sound, like a fan (no it's not the pod filter or anything), and it gets faster the more i put my foot on the accelerator, however it seems that it only develops after the car gets warm, when i drive it cold it's not there...the noise isnt a belt clipping anything either i don't think as i revved it while a friend looked under the bonnet and nothing, seems to be coming from under the wheel arches?)

the final noise

when idleing there is a sort of ticking noise, that almost sounds as though something on the car is being tapped in with a hammer, at times it gets fastish, then slows down again

Also the center console and footwells seem to get very very hot, i don't know if it's just engine heat or what? anyone got any ideas?

the final two noises i was thinking maybe its a low speed fan or something? i'm not really too sure? just wondering if anyone has had similar noises/ if they are normal or troublesome, or something i should get checked out? i've driven the car all day today, and none of the noises seem to be affecting how the car runs, or anything like that, so i am thinking maybe i'm just being paranoid..

Thanks heaps for your help and i hope it is just me being paranoid:)

      God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By Randhj · Posted

      I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ

      Can't put strut back

      All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
