Knocking Sound In Dash

[R33_NICK]

hey guys my cars making some weird knocking sound somewhere in the dash when i start it up particularly when its cold. heard in in some R33s as well. has anyone had this problem before?

[inthisglass]

it'll be the little valve for your air con

the teeth on the gears become worn and the valve like clicks for a few seconds and then stops

you have to take you whole dash out to fix it so most people just ignore it

its not anything to worry about

[ossie_21]

The thing I find more annoying than that sound is everyone hearing it for the first time asking me what that noise is.

carry on.

[Haunter]

my air con doesnt work at all, so no problem for me.

plus its probably inherit to R33's

[NA_Goodness]

SN1P3R's car is the only R33 that I haven't heard it in. I wouldnt worry about it.

[gazza750]

let the damn little jap mechanic out from under your dash

it's him knocking to get out

[Haunter]

on the fly mechanic, not bad. How much do they cost?

SN1P3R's car is the only R33 that I haven't heard it in. I wouldnt worry about it.

and mine!

No noise here... =)

I have the same problem with my R33.

Its been doing it for months and i was hoping it would fix itself, but i dont think its going to

[MeLSki]

Same no noise in my dash *shrugs*

[inthisglass]

mine doesnt do it

but my old series 1 33 did it

not lookign forward to the day it happens again

[NA_Goodness]

I have to ride in more R33s...

Point is, it isnt important.

you can actually remove that clicking noise, look up from the passenger floor behind the dash towards the heater core, (its covered in plastic) you will notice a few plugs just unplug one turn ur ignition on if the clicking is still there plug it bback in and unplug another one there is about 2 from memory and it does not effect your heating or cooling...., there hopefull solver clicking amongst 10-15 r33's

[R33_NICK]

yeh only heard this sound from another series 1 surprisingly but not the series 2

mine doesnt do it

Mine is series 2.

[R33_NICK]

Mine is series 2.

hmm so its a common problem for the R33s.

just find that noise very annoying eventhough it only makes it once in awhile

there is no noise.

[-Dukes-]

Mine does it everytime I start the car and when I change aircon modes,

I've gotten use to it, but people always think the car is going to blow up or something.

Can't be bothered ripping out the whole dash for one single cog.

If anyone asks what it is, just tell them its the NOS solonoid priming the system

I had one of my mates convinced that what it was....had to tell him the truth eventually though

there is no noise.

On the contrary, there is no spoon!
