common prob - if its the same noise i'm thinking of, its the mechanism moving that opens/switches the vents.

you might notice sometimes your A/C will switch to blow only

on your feet when you hear this noise. not everytime tho.

i can sometimes stop mine from making this noise by cranking up

the fan speed to max and then down again. also changing from

FACE to FEET and back to FACE stops its

give this a try

Yeah, lots of us have had this problem, I know what bit it is, but it costs alot to fix. I know how to get rid of the noise without fixing it, but after I did that my compressor seized, I don't know if the two are related.

I just had mine fixed. $20 for the part and $65 for an hours labour (didn't have to pay it though 'cause the dealer agreed to get it fixed when I bought the car). It's just a little cog inside a little black box. I had to get the new box 'cause no where had the cog. $20 bucks for the box or $5 for the cog if ya can find it.

Just go to an airconditioning place!

yep, i had that problem the other day. it was bit hot for a couple of days here in perth so i was giving my A/C a hammering. (usually a non-a/c person)

anyways i started it up in the morning, after leaving over nite, obviuosly durrr... when the car jumped to life there was this weird noise. i had a listen for a bit, and it seemd to go a way as the car warmed up.

Could have been acat... hehehehe

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.

      I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole

      Correct part# for coilpacks for a S2 ER34

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
