First problem w/ FD.
I haven't started my car in over a week, so today I popped open the hood cranked up the fd letting it warm for a few minutes then shut it down. Here's my situation, when I was about to drop the hood I heard cracking sounds coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. The time that it took me to get out of the car to the hood was about 15 seconds. Can detonation occur after the car has died down? Does anyone know what it might be?
The car is 94 stock r1 w 25K on it..

and yea, sounds just like normal popping from the hot turbos/exhaust. not much to worry about, but it really isn't good to just start the car, let it idle and then turn it back off. just taking a 2 minute trip around the block (assuming it's properly warmed up first) is much healthier. gets all the fluids in motion, plus forces some air through the rad/ic rather than heatsoaking in your garage.

Yeah, those noises freaked me out when I first got my FD too, but I soon realized it was just the turbos cooling down.
My dad still thinks there's something wrong with my car everytime he hears it, but he's never had a turbo car either.
