Hiya guys i got a bit of a problem....

When i turn on my car or if my cars on and i turn on my climate control, there is a slight knocking sound coming from behind the unit inside the dash. This lasts maybe 10-15 seconds but everything seems to be working fine!!

Any1 else had this problem or know what it might be?

Cheers

:)

had the same sound as well. i suspect that it could be the internal vent opening up to allow air in. i usually circulate the air inside the car when the A/C is on but when i turn it off, i noticed wind still blowing in when the car is moving and i realised that the vent has opened up to allow gushing air.

may or may not be...

yeah, there are two relays (motors) which slide open the vents in the heater unit to control between the aircon and heater to give your xx degrees. If one is slightly dodgy, it may make that ticking noise - its like "slipping" on its catch.

Its no biggy, most skylines seem to do it to some extent. It doesn't worry me..

This is the problem.. that black thing ontop is one of the relays (there is another on the side of that box) that slides back and forward to open the vents in there. If its slightly stuffed it will "click" when operating.

I have this problem too! i fkn hate it. first i tried punching the **** outa the dash, obviously didnt work. What is the parts name that i need to replace??????????????????/

im fkn sick of it, if any1 knows, tell me so i can replace it. or if any1 has it. URGENT, AS I NEED TO SELL MY CAR AND CANT!!

THANKS

you could buy my heater box for $40.. it has the relays on it. Then you'll have to pay somebody to pull apart your entire dash to the firewall (or do it yourself) and replace these components, which is about a 6 hour job.

you still want to fix it?

Hello predetor. Yes i do wona fix, i fkn hate that sound and sick of punching the **** out of the dash hoping it stops. OK so you have this part called the 'heater box', if you are mega positive that the noise will stop, then yes I will definetly buy it. How big is the part and how much is shipping, as I am located in melbourne, I am going to get it installed for free from my mechanic, so not a problem.

I got the same prob too...

The way I stop it (temporarily) is push the ^ button once (to turn temp up) then the v button a few times (to turn temp down)

you can do this with the unit on or off doesn't matter, and it stops it for a little while...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
