Do you stil have oil pressure?

[br3ndan]

Lifters sometimes get dirty and dont work properly. This can cause them to be a little bit noisy... Its quite common in skylines.

Sometimes a few good oil changes will quiten them down. I have heard of cleaning agents which you can add which also help with the process. And make sure the oil you buy is a good quality one.. as the good ones usually have some kind of cleaning agent in them as well.

You can always buy another set of lifters. Not exactly sure how much that would set you back tho.

this is more than noisy

this is f*#king shit

i still have oil pressure i think to much it use to sit on half way but now its like 3/4

also this is the second set of lifters

and the thrid oil change

check the stock intake pipe if everything connected.

what do you mean ??

[Bliksem]

I think the viscosity of the penrite 15 is somewhere around 15W 60?

The first cheap thing to try would be to run a thinner oil... somewhere closer to 5W 30 since DOHC heads need more flow to the head..

[linedup33]

the intake pipe from the turbo, check if those 2 inlets r stilll connected n flowing rite

[br3ndan]

Your oil pressure shouldnt be at half way if its just idling. Should be sitting on roughly 2. Under a bit of pressure it should b around 4.

I wouldnt recommend using penrite pro 15. THe cold weight seems a bit high for a turbo engine.

Maybe try a different type of oil in your car?

Maybe Mobil One or Royal Purple?

[teazn_r33]

its a silcon intake pipe form bass junky and the two pipes are plugged up ??? is that bad

[teazn_r33]

well i have to much preesure than and also i had royal purple in it but wat we talking here 15W 60 or 5W 30

[br3ndan]

i would not use 15w - 60

Should be more like

5w-10w for the cold weight.

40w-50w for hot weight. However if you engine is new i.e been rebuilt, i would opt for a 30w oil. But if ur engine is getting old go for 40w-50w

[Bliksem]

Nissan recommends 7.5W 30 so try to run something closer to that.

Thicker oil means higher pressure and less flow.

What your describing here sounds exactly like that.

[teazn_r33]

ok im goin to get some oil now k mintr33 if its works ill let you know and you will have some money in your acc

[teazn_r33]

also should i hook the hoses up to the intke piep when do they go n shit

[Simon-S14]

wanna run some engine flush through it? pour 1L of diesel into the sump and run it for 10 min. will do the trick

wanna run some engine flush through it? pour 1L of diesel into the sump and run it for 10 min. will do the trick

is that safe?

[teazn_r33]

well i just got back went and got 5lts of oil 5W 30 hopefully its works ill drain it all out see how i go dotn ahve any disel oh well see how i go bbs

[Simon-S14]

is that safe?

yeah it is, most engine flush smells a lot like diesel anyway.

Some people drain all the oil and pour 5L of diesel in there, but i personally dont think that there is enough lubricating properties in diesel to do this.so just add some diesel, run it for 5-10 mins so its nice and hot then drain it out.
