Hi Guys,

I know its my forst post but i need some help.

I am hearing bit of a knocking noise coming from the top of my R33 GTR engine (turbo side) a few seconds after it starts. The noise kinda increases with revs but disappears after 3k rpm but returns when i let go of the gas. The knocking does go when oil get slightly warm after 3 or 4 minutes. I have also taken the oil cap off when the engine is on and i can hear a clicking/tapping kind of noise. The noise has got a bit louder over time but i am hoping its the clearances or lifters and nothing more than that.

Anyone have any suggestion or further dignostic help???

are u sure the noise is comming from the top of the engine? not the middle or bottum?

I thought when my gtr was knocking it was coming from the top but it was actually bottum end bearing

Bent valve(s)!!

This happened to a customers GTR, previous owners tried to chase power with boost, leaned out which caused melting of plugs and broken ring-lands. The melting of the plugs caused material to get caught under both exhaust valves at no.6, something else could have gone through engine also?

If the valves dont seat then they have too much clearance and knock at top of engine.

Thanks for your response guys....The bearings were only done about 3 months ago due to a dodgy filter so i am hoping that they havent gone again. When they did go the noise was not like this and the mechanic seems to think that the noise is my clearances thet need sorting. This time its kind of coming from the top and definately towards the middle of the exahust side cam but as i said the noise does go away after a few minutes.

whats the oil presure like? hot/cold? ive never ever heard a big end knock disapear with heat. maybe a dodgy lifter

The oil pressure is great due to the trust oil pump. Im seeing 7bar when the car is stone cold and just over 2 bar on idle when the oil reaches 80 degrees. Pressure whilst driving is also very good. I also have trust sump extension.

Here is a sound clip io managed to get today when i started her.

Full spec of the car is as follows just in case it could be one of the mods

Apex V-max SPL pistons with cooling channles

Trust rods

R34 crank balanced

Nismo 24 U Block

Apexi 280degree cams with 10.5mm lift

Apexi double springs

Trust greddy Intake plenum

Greddy t517z trubos

Trust oil pump

As i mentioned, this noise does go after the oil starts warming up and there is no loss in performance thats for sure lol

Geez man - I wouldn't be running the engine - take it to a workshop !

Fingers crossed its nothing major man........My tuner is coming over in the morning to have a listen to it. If it was the bearings wouldnt the noise be permanent???

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
