Well I decided to polish cam covers, have been puttin it off for ages, so anyways I done one of them and decided tat i'll do the oter one in a few dayz. So I carefuly wiped gunk off the motor, so the gasket would seal nicely, i put it all back together, taking my time to do it properly and neatly .. i double checked tat everything was connected, ten i tripple checked ... and just b4 i started the car i had anoter quick check over every hose bolt etc ..

Te car started perfectly, drove perfectly, everything was good.

Anyways i went for a cruse b4 to supermarket and when pulled up I noticed that the car sounded differently, so i popped the hood, and it seems to be making a noise, almost like a knocking sound as well as a noisy kinda sound and it seems 2 be commin almost from the back section of the cover ...

Now honestly and truthfuly, this could be normal and could have always been there and ive just never noticed, usualy when im under the hood the car isnt running, so i carnt say for sure that i remember it being there or not being there. It could be all the drugs im on .. feelin a bit buggy ..and the drus will do that 2 u, make u think more till paranoia gets you ..

Either way im 2 scared to start the car now ... but it ran perfectly still, which probably means its just me ...

Can anyone help .....

does it do anything to the car if its sits tere overnight without a cam cover on ??

It was covered so nothing got in or anything, but maybe something like a sensor picks up on it so the ecu has to be reset in order for it to function properly ...

Any thoughts on this people ??

Has anyone else polished there covers and had this happen to them ????

Hey Mick,

sorry it took a while to reply.

First off, you did a bloody great job of polishing them, it looks fantastic!

About the knocking sound. I did not notice any difference in sound after I put them back on. I always get a little bit of noise when it first starts up on a cold morning, but after about 5 seconds it stops.

Unfortunately I dont live in ballarat or near there. I live in Mildura. But I do have a brother who goes to Ballarat Grammar and I sometimes go there 2 visit, but probly not for a while now :D

Sorry mate, hope ya get it sorted. Maybe try and take it off again and put it back on and double check nothing dropped in, and that the seals are in place too (thats what id do)

Andrew

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
