i know thats what i mean some thing has to be broken or loose im thinkin lol

just dump the oil. See if there's anything in there and go from there. If you haven't changed the oil since it came in you should do it anyway. Should be changing all the fluids.

yea just have about to have a look now n see if theres any metel in it and if there isnt ?

Put new oil in it and try again. Some times heads will tap when they got old oil runnin through em. My old evo was a clasic for it.

Bugger.

take it from me, I've been swinging spanners for over 20 years and had my own big end go in an RB and the location of the noise absolutely stumped me even using a stethoscope, but it was a big end.

Get a proper mechanic to look at it ASAP. Stop running it and revving it or you could have a rod snap and punch it through the block/stuff the head or both.

I was a mechanic for a long time and stepped up to mechanical engineering and the best advice I can give is call one of those mobile guys to have a quick look, pay your money for their rime and then start getting quotes on the job and you will be glad for the money spent. I still build my own race engines so I'm not at all out of touch. Look in the thread below in my sig if you want to see some of the stuff that goes bad in RBs.

At the risk of being way off track, you haven't stated whether this happens only whilst drivng or when parked and revving as well. The reason I say this is because just after picking up my Stagea after purchase, it developed a knocking sound just like you are describing and I did the stethescope thing nd all sorts of buggering around. Even had a mate take it for a drive with all the console out so I could probe the gearbox and transfer case etc because it was only at very certain revs we could hear it. It actually turned out to be the uni joint on the front driveshaft and I only got it just before it snapped "shudders".

not thrust bearing happens when i press clutch lol guess its big end or cracked piston should find out tonight :ninja: looks liek im gonna haveto geta JUN 2.7 stroker for it ;):thumbsup:

Is it just when you push the clutch in?? Might just be a rattly multiplate clutch, i now many a twin plate are infamous for making the car sound like its gonna fall apart when engaged.

Best of luck mate, i hope not to have to a 'forced' rebuild myself... at least not in the next year or 2.

Might be a little late for my comment, but anyways.

I had a similar problem in my CA18det in my bluebird.

I thought it was a big end, cause it sounded familiar, as I have had a CA18 with stuffed big end before..

Sold the car for cheap as it was, to find out a week later that it was the lightened flywheel coming loose.

Yes I still have my legs luckily. :D

So yeah might be another thing to check...

But good luck anyways.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
