hey fellas

recently i have heard this weird sound between 1600 - 1800 rpm. It is a quick tapping sound and kinda sounds like a cricket or something. I took it back to the dealer today and he says that its probably a "gudging bolt". Im not quite sure if thats how its spelt, but its the bolt that holds the piston to the conrod. I guess its kinda hard for you guys to make a judgement without hearing the sound but any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way its an RB25DE hence non turbo

gudeon pin i think he meant to say...Yes it does hold the conrod to the piston, but i doubt he could guess that straight from hearing it and be 100% correct. Best to get her comp checked and leakdown test etc, then if no problem seems to come about, then outsource someone pop her open and check her out. If theres a problem, may pay to look into a RB25DET replacement or rebuilding her for a turbo. Up to you.

R32 Abuser, what do you mean by comp tested and leakdown tested? And when you say etc is there any other test in specific that you are refferring to? Im willing to try everything to fix this. THis is last f**king thing i need to go wrong with my car. Are all skylines unreliable or is mine just a lemon.

it gets marginally quicker as the revs go up. Oh and yes it was the Gudeon pin which i was talking about.

Wheres the best place/cheapest to have this looked at. Since im at bulimba i dont wonna drive the car too far considering the state that its in. Anyone know of anywhere in the bulimba/hawthorn/balmoral/ surrounding areas. Im currently working with tuff toys (who i orginally purchased the car from) but they dont really wonna know about it until the engine breaks :(

YES. i changed the oil and there was the slightest bit of grit in some parts of the oil. Like it was finer than a grain of sand but i could still feel it. Whats the next step? Bearing trouble means i need a new engine doesnt it?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
