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.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
