ppl i need some help asap ill throw $50 cash in to the person who solves my problem

today driving the car running sweet loving it

after a while i stopped turned it off then started it again and it started ticking

the lifters are not getting oil ???

this has happened before but when away thought nothing of it

could it be when the oil heats up?

the bottom end is fine..

ppl i need help asap.

i dont know what oil is in it cause the mech changed it ill try and find out

hhhhheeeeeeelllllllllppppppppppppp mmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee $$$$$$$$$$$$

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

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..

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?

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

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.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
