Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to know if any one else out there that has got forged internals with an aftermarket cams which havent been dialed in, in their rb26 which have noisy solid lifters.

Is there anything that can be done to quieten them. The engines only done 8000kms after a rebuild so im not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Ive asked my mechanic about this but didnt really get much of an answer.

Anyone had this before??

drive the car harder and reduce the clearance gap with some heat induced metal expansion. lol

can't really do anything about it- that's why nearly every other engine (designed for commuting) you care to mention has hydraulic lash-adjusters

but it's not like they're that noisy. makes the engines sound tough anyway >_<

yeh like godzilla32 said you can get em reshimmed and they'll quieten down, mine used to be insanely loud but i can barely hear them now after they were reshimmed while engine was being built.. think i got quoted something like 600-800 just to do lifters tho at some stage

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reply, but is it a real big job to get the solid lifters re-shimmed??

Also ive been having another issue with the car not sure if i should start another new topic or not but here goes.

If i rev the car and let go off the accelerator, revs come back down to the normal idle rpm for a split second and then drops down further to about 500rpm sometimes turns off and turns back on and then goes back to normal idle rpm.

Now ive checked with the mechanic and hes told me its because ive not no return valve or something or the other and theres too much return pressure of sumting. Hes checked all cooler piping, vacuum hoses and afm's and its still doing it.

Mechanic's however told me that a pfc jetro will get rid of the issue coz it wont be running afm's.

Any ideas on what it could be?? Could it be due to a conversion issue, the car originally had an rb25det with an auto and now has a rb26dett with forged internals, cams that havnt been dialed in as yet and r34 gtt gearbox running in it with stock ecu???

Um no return valve he said?, has it got an aftermarket bov or something? or is the recirc pipe missing off the bovs? because if that's the case and it's dumping to atmo that will be the cause of the stalling and you will need to get it tuned, via a pfc or a remap to fix it..

Sounds like vacuum leak. A non recirculating blow off valve will give you the same results though. Check everything behind the throttle blade to make sure you dont have a vacuum leak and if you do have a atmo venting blow off valve try recirculating it and see if the problem goes away. He's right though the PFC D-Jetro will eliminate that problem.

Hi guys, yep it does have an aftermarket bov only one though. There is a small black pipe going into the bov and another one just blocked with a screw, i think dats if u have 2 i assume??? I just double checked the back of the throttle bodies and all seem to be connected fine. So in other words i cant do anything else but get a pfc or get it remapped is that correct??

Just re shimmed my head, took a while- if you do your own let me know and I'll give you a number of a guy in melbourne who makes these shims- much better than nissan and half the price- about 8.50 ea (0.2mm case hardened as opposed to nissan's 0.01, and they come in 0.2mm variations, so you'll be able to rub them down for tolerance fit- you can't do this with nissan ones). They're on the shelf too so overnight delivery as opposed to 4 week wait out of japan.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
