Getting The Skyline Back On The Road

[and3_3]

Ok i've had my license suspended for the last 9 months. My R33 hasnt been driven much since and im worried the odd bolt or screw has come loose if you know what i mean.

When i turn my car on a ticking noise can be heard from the engine somewhere, I cant tell what it is. If i drive for a bit the noise goes away, im thinking the engine needs to be driven a bit to break it in.

The car has all the basic mods.

So besides an oil and filter change (which ive done already) what should i be looking at before i can say its back to full strength?

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

anyone else think the ticking could just be the head waitin for oil to be pumped up?

The ticking is most likely the Hydro lifters filling back up with oil from the long sit with no pressure. Change your oil/filter if thats the tick it should go away after a few drives.

Your noise seems to have arisen under the same circumstances as mine. Does it sound the same?

Yeah it sounds like the same noise.

I changed my oil like 20 k's ago, motul 4100 and it had only been 4500 k's. The noise was before i changed my oil filter

and after. Goes away after a short drive.

Oh your diff will be loose for sure mate, no doubt about it.

In all seriousness, just give it a decent service. Change all oils, plugs and belts.

Should be fine. No nuts will 'come loose' because you dont drive it...
