Im having issues with my volts, on my turbo timer it shows the voltage and on a charged battery its like high 13v or else it sits on 13.1- 13.3 at max. is there any way i get make it have a higher voltage and more constant? and when i turn window heater on and fan it drops to 12.7/8 and my car struggles to idle or even drive as its just popping heaps. Also when i drive its just constantly like popping or just cant cruise at any speeds without it like gurgling and spluttering. any ides?

one last thing haha when my car idles i have this faint ticking noise on the engine and then when I put my foot down i gets loud, usually after boost kick in.any ideas on these issue?

thanks heaps in advance :D

check belt tension and battery condition/voltage.get ur mate to check voltage drop.the ticking noise could be a wrongly installed spark plug or faulty coil pack.by the sounds of the way its performing i would be checking those things first.

My voltage will sit around 13.1-13.4v (idle) and I don't have any problems, but I've never seen it dip into 12.x before.

It may be worth cleaning out the AAC valve (R32s it's not as easy to do as later generations), since when the heater or aircon is turned on, the ECU will compensate by opening up the AAC to let more air in.

Sounds like the ticking is gasket related. Back when I didn't know much about skylines, my car had a ticking sound which drove me insane. It was the injectors and its normal.

Ticking isn't bad, a knocking sound is always a concern.

Yer when it drops it cant hold any idle, but ill check the ACC

Ticking sound could be leaking turbo gasket.

is there any easy way to figure out if it is?

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
