2 problems here,

The first being since I've added in an apexi pod filter, after around 6k rpm, im getting this crappy tinny crackle type noise coming from what seems to be the drivers side. Its not consistent and not continuous. I haven't reset the ecu since adding in the filter, any ideas?

The 2nd problem, is usually after some hard driving, tapping noises come about.

Seems to be coming from the very front of the engine, and only sounds like 2 components, in sync, going 'tap tap tap tap'. If i rev it, they speed up obviously, and basically to the point where the engine drowns out the noise.

Not great detail i know, but any help would be much appreciated

yeah i've got lots of funny noises going around in my car too ... like funny tap tap noises when i'm changing from a particular gear ... but it sounds like its coming from the rear ... also i think some panels are loose ... are there any tips for reducing these things or to finding out what is causing these noises??

thanks

2 add to this,

my clutch started slipping alot tonight,

got out, couldn't put my hands on the bonnet for more than say 2/3 seconds without it burning my hands. This was after idling for 10 min, where as touching it straight after i got out, it was fine.

Water temps are normal, as is oil pressure, everything seems normal apart from the idling getting 2 low 2 often.

Im thinking perhaps the oil pump?

Just to update every1 following my issue :),

To deal with the heat issue, we flushed the radiator.

Now thinking the thermostat might have been rooted, we spent **** knows how long getting it out, and when testing it in hot and cold water, it didn't move the slightest bit, and even trying to force it open, was useles.

So needles to say we thought we had found the problem. Put it all back together without the thermostat, put new coolant in, 5 minutes later same problem, everything is 2 hot to touch, be it intake pipe, hoses, engine, bonnet etc. This is after 5 minutes of idleing.

Car goes to the mechanics asap :D

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
