Okay well i got a GTS rb25de r33 s2.

i got a few problems just wondering if anyone can help out.

i know theres been a few posts on some of the issue but itheres some that i cant find. so i thought i chuck them all in one.

1. Sometimes i hear a sort of ticking or bubbling sort of sound from the car when idling and dont know what it is?? coming from drivers side under the dash towards the back.

2. Fuel consumption is shit...approx 300-350km a tank!! :S

so im getting it serviced at MIDAS this week should i ask them to check the :

spark plugs, fuel filter/pump, o2 sensor...

cause i dont want to ask them to check it and then have them assuming i think i need something replaced so they can charge me for parts when i dont need them. & would they get hold of a NGK sensor or me or would i have to??

p.s im getting it serviced so would they do that for me?

sorry with all the questions just dont want to spend unncessary $$$ when i dont need to.

You're about to make you first mistake.

Take it to a w/shop that knows imports, someone like Sabbadin, RE Customs, Racepace, etc. (these are all on that side of town)

The bubbling sound could be various things, so go to a good w/shop and get it checked out.

Do a search buddy, the w/shops i previously mentioned are all in the east/ south east area. I am from the western suburbs, so i have no idea what the addresses to these w/shops are.

what type of driving are you doing to get that sort of fuel consumption? i get exactly the same from around town driving (largish country town, lotsa roundabouts, lotsa 50-60k zones

i get the ticking sound, however its inside my engine bay. thinking it could be the injectors. any ideas? (sorry to hijack this thread)

on the back of the intake chamber (nearest end to the fire wall) is a brown two pin plug and a purple two pin plug.

on the forums here on how remove/clean/reinstall this device.

get your spark plugs gapped down to .8 or when it goes for the service get them to put in new ones gapped to .8 not 1.1

dont be particular i have run platnum/ iridium bosch and ngk and i have found 5 dollar ngk's do the same job.

check all your vaccum lines for cracks and deteriation, over time they get brittle, may look ok but leak like a mo'fo.

i had a similar sound coming from my car when the engine change was done, the heater hose was airlocked

as for GODZLR, check your pcv valve, undo it plug the hole and start the car up. if the rattle aint there the spring in the pcv valve is screwed.

Japanese Auto Importers in Carrum Downs is pretty good.

The place isn't as tidy as many mechanics, but the owner is really genuine guy, and a Skyline lover. He really knows his stuff, and inexpensive too.

The number is; (03) 9775 0593

And it's at 37 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.

Bleed your cooling system, with your heater turned on.

You have air in the heater box in side the car by the sounds of it.

Then just get a normal service.

Edit: Injectors are usually noisy too I've found on most Skylines, and "tick" quite loudly.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
