<br />covered b4..<br />its some worn out gear<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ive got a quick fix for that problem<br />To get rid of that annoying tapping sound everytime you turn the ignition on.<br />Take out the contol unit for the fan/aircon located above your stereo.There will be two plugs in the back of the unit.Now if your sitting in the drivers seat of your car looking at the unit .... the right plug is the plug you want.On this plug there will be about 17 wires,the red wire(maybe an orange stripe on it as well ...cant remember) furthest to the right is the one that sends power to the servo with the stripped gear.<br />Cut this wire and you will no longer have that annoying tapping sound.<br />If you want to pull the whole dash apart and replace the stripped gear then you have alot more time on your hands than me<br />this guide is for a r33 gtst<br />hope this helps Edited by r33gts4turbo

    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
