Hi, I have an R32 GTS4. I have noticed for some time a clicking noise from the boot of my car. When I hear the clicking noise the volts in my car drop for a second. At idel the clicking happens every minute or so.

I have followed the noise to the boot and have found a relay just to the passenger side of the lock (monuted behind some of the grey trim between the lcok and the passenger side tail light).

What is this relay for? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks, Ben.

BH SLO32; do you know what this relay does? Is it switching the fuel pump on and off or is it controlling high rpm vs. low rpm for on throttle vs. off throttle?

It is used by the computer to switch the fuel pump on and off. The coil side of the relay is earthed by the computer. It won't draw much current.

I took another look at this today. I noticed that there are two relays. I unplugged the relay on the passenger side of the car as this seemed to be the one doing the clicking. My fuel pump seems to be running ok and the goes was going normally though my 4WD has stopped working. I assume that one of the relays controls the fuel pump and the other one is something to do with the ATTESSA; what do you think this woudl be for?

      Fixing exhaust position?

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
