Howdy Gentlemen and Gentleladies...

I've done a search and came up with donuts...

I believe my lifters are on their way oot, I have a particular bad 'tick' @ start-up, but once the oil get's a little warm it tends to go away...!? :confused:

Two questions: 1. Do you have any other alternate ideas of what this may be (as can't really be arsed changing lifters)

2. If not, then does anyone know where I might be able to purchase such a part?

Thank you people...

When was the last time you changed your oil filter?

I've normally always done a filter change after 10,000 kays (or 2 oil changes) but I noticed when my 33 was nearing the 10,000 mark on it's filter the lifters were tapping increasingly on start up, then would go away. After I changed the oil & filter the noise was gone & haven't had it since. I'm thinking of changing my filter every time I do an oil change now as I don't want to starve my turbo of lube either.

No wonder there are so many rooted Rb engines on this forum.

Turbo oil change is 5000K's or 6 months.

This practice of changing oil at 5000K's and doing the filter every 2nd oil change (10000K's) is absolute madness.

If you want to keep the engine at all healthy, do 2-filters to each oil change.

Filters are cheap as chips and why would anyone in their right mind pump new oil through a dirty filter.

I do my oil changes at 3000-5000 and filters at 2000max.

I know!! No need to make me feel like sh*t!! :D Oil does get changed on a regular basis, oil filter however I've seemed to neglect the past little while.... Cheers guys...

Well I'll be changing my filter every 5000 klicks with the oil myself, I don't really think there's any point in doing it more often than that. If a filter can't last as long as the regular factory service intervals there's something seriously wrong with your engine already. The majority of crap will build up in the latter half of the 5000 kays anyway when the oil starts to deteriorate.

No worries savage, glad to help.

If anything it should be the other way around.

Filter every 5000k oil at 10,000kays.

The oil will last the distance, the filter won't. :S

But do both every 5k. Use a decent mineral oil, there really is no need for a mild rb to run synth unless you really want to.

I run synth because I've thrown 6k at a motor :geek:

yes.. no need to go insane on them..

Add upper engine cleaner into a couple of oil changes, and see if it makes a difference..

Also, what sort of oil you got in there at the moment (do you know?) - maybe its simply a bad match for your particular engine/age.

I'd try these before going sick getting your head reco'ed, etc.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
