Me and a mate have been looking at some skylines lately, ive got a lot of friends hooked on 33s :cheers:

The one in question, a 95 R33 GTST manual.

Basically there are 2 sounds,

One is a constant clicking.. sounds like one of them electric lighters being clicked really fast.. noise is coming from the plenum .. where the throttle cable ends on that thingy with the spring.. throttle body? it sound like its under this bit though.

All r33s have this noise but most are very light, this one seems a bit louder.

The second noise is after it warms up a bit, we drove it for a few minutes, then stopped and browsed the engine bay... it sounds like a quite psssss like something is leaking .. i cant see or find anything though, so its got me stumped.. the sound is coming from almost exacly the same place as the clicking noise.

There not major noises but but being to cautious when buying a car can save you big money in the end :D

Ideas anyone?

clicking is propbably just the lifters getting old

as for the pssss im pretty sure my car does that too, ive been to ice performaqnce heaps and they said my engine sounds as normal as possible so i wouldnt worry unless u cna notice something wrong whilst fanging it ie. not hitting boost etc

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
