I get the same noise...

Its sounds like the blinkers are on but its a little bit faster than the blinker noise... It annoyed the sheet out of me as well... I found if you use your blinker lift it up oh so slightly so you hear a little "click" but it doesnt engage your blinkers it will stop the retchard noise!

Anyone else had the problem with an r33?

I know this is an old thread but ever since i ran injector cleaner through my car i have been getting the ticking noise. So could some1 explain exactly what "lifters" are, why its ticking and what i can do to fix it ??

If i take it to a workshop to fix it how much would it cost you rekon ??

Im almost definate it would be the injectors. Best way to tell is by getting a large screwdriver, put the screwdriver on each injector and put your ear up to the end of the screwdriver. If you hear a distinctive injector noise in time with the ticking noise of the engine it will be the injectors. Do that and tell us what happens. In order to fix it don't use that injector cleanser crap that you put in your fuel tank because it does next to nothing. The only proper way to get injectors cleaned is to get the injectors physically removed and cleaned by a rail clean machine, does the job and guarentees success.

      There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well

      We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
