Don't fret too much about the slight tick in the engine. All RB26's do this - it is because they have a mechanical (ie shimmed not hydraulic) valve train.

thanks gang ... I took it to engine builder mates today... after he stopped spinning out i had it (because i told no one i was getting) he said the same thing as djr81 mentioned ...Also it has a tinest exhaust leak at a flange where sealent has broken away,,, apart from that lookin foward to giving her a good home ...:P))

its done 140,000km.

What i can tell straight off is someone has spent a bit servicing it and maintaining the driveline.

One thing ill ask is ... AC cant be gased for a few days but cabin is hotter than it should be even at night in the cool ?!?

reminds me of a car with heater on no fan running.

Middle console and dash are not over hot just warm i

My thinking is maybe the 3 inch is causing the heat through the cabin and may need attention but not sure. i dont want the climate contol on all the time when it is gased but until my manual get here i dont know Jack about the heating system ...

the cars temp is perfect at all times ...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
