Hi All,

I’ve done a search and couldn’t find anything on this specific topic.

On startup I have this weird buzzing sound from the rear of the car which goes away in about 10 seconds.

It’s definitely not the fuel pump. Sounds like something 4WD or HICAS related pressurising? It can be heard intermittently for about 2 seconds every 30 seconds or so after the first “prime”. 

Is it a normal V-Spec thing, or am I losing pressure somewhere?

Hope someone can shine some light on this.

Thanks!

Atessa priming. 

So this is normal?

It does it every 30-40 seconds for a second or two after the first prime.

This is my first GTR so I know nothing about what’s normal or not lol.

You should be happy that's all you hear.

Just imagine in 1995, all these whizzbang fancy electronic stuff clicking and buzzing away while your neighbours had to pull a lever to prime their carburettor.

Very true!

welcome to nugget ownership!!!

Sounds like I may need deeper pockets lol

I had the same issue on my GTR. Change the Nitrogen canister on the atessa pump and bleed the system ( you can search for a how to )

Just jap sell the part.

Hmm ok, so there is a problem then? I’ve read that the nitrogen canister causes the relays to click, haven’t heard anything about the canister and my issue till now.

So you had the same issue and replacing this fixed it? As in doesn’t make intermittent buzzing noises now?

Just want to be sure before I spend ~$480 on this!

The buzzing noise on my car was the atessa pump running. the relay will click on to turn on the pump.

If you start the car lay under the back of it and listen to the pump. if it turns on and runs every 30-40 sec then the canister needs changing.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
