Ok so after finding a problem in my new stagea I have found a relay that sounds rather upset and after some snooping around online I can't manage to find what it is or where it goes so hopefully someone here should be able to help. I don't know if all models have it but I have a '97 series 1 model.

Now this relay is on the drivers side, mounted to side of engine bay behind strut tower and to the drivers side of brake master cylinder, right up in the drivers side back corner. It's a black relay and has from what I can see, 2 plugs that attach to the bottom of it.

To fix, firstly try a new accumulator, usually good for 10 years, 350+ from nissan. Pm me as i have a near new (july 12) spare one for sale. Fitted for a few weeks only. Didnt fix my issue, as i ended up replacing pump and fitting my 2 yr old accumulator.

Thankyou! Yea it does have that annoying tick.

Other problem I have iss aftermarket fuel pump that isn't giving me enough output when I lay my foot down. Which I have been told a bosch 040 will fix. Does the old stall around right handers anywhere under 1/2 a tank if I take corner too quick but shocking under 1/4 of a tank.

Get an accumulator from nissan, jack or hoist car up, locate pump above rear diff, unscrew old accumulator...slowly to relaese pressure, will be messy with some fluid. Can be hard to remove, no space for pipe wrench. I used a chisel n hammer to loosen the accumulator. Install new one, grease o-ring first. Manual says to hand tighten, then tighten with tools so it moves 5mm on outside.

Fill up the fluid reservoir in boot to the brim, well above max. Activate the attessa pump manually by disconnecting the black plug behind the drivers kick panel. Turn key to ign, u should hear pump running. You then need to bleed fluid, 2 nipples, one at back of transfer case and one on pump, exhaust side. Run fluid out till bubbles gone and fluid level is good. Reconnect pump plug/wire. Start car and check fluid level whilst running. Done.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
