I was up at Winton raceway yesterday for a track day. the day went well and it was great fun.

However...

since leaving the track ive notice a horrible "ticking" noise coming from the engine, but its only under load. when you are just coasting the noise stops.

im hoping that i dont need to fork out for a rebuild as i really dont have the funds at the moment.

if anyone can shed some light on what the noise could be it would be much appreciated.

thanks guys.

is its a rumble/ knocking noise that generally is bigend/main end bearings which is rebuild time.

ticking can be more head/cam/lifters which isnt really a problem, noisely lifters wont cause damage

its hard to help just with you saying you hear ticking, after all it could be anything even noisy injectors tick. Does it sound up top in the head or down in the block?

will it do it with the bonnet up whilst you free rev it?

its definatly more a ticking sound from around the head/cam area, like a tapet sort of noise.

yes it does do it by free reving it, but it disapears on engine deceleration.

i hope that helps you a bit.

ive heard big end noises before, but this sound is higher pitched than the kncking sound you get from that.

how many kms has the engine done?

what oil/viscosity are you running?

how often do you change your oil?

Its most likely just worn lifters that are "tapping", and if thats the case then its not going to require a rebuild if you dont have the mulah yet, everything will still work, it will just slowly get louder over time and doubt you'll lose any performance.

Try running some thicker oil as this may help quiten it up but the real fix will be a head recondition (ie new lifters, check cams etc)

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
