yea as i rev it it speeds up and as the revs come down the nose slows down and almost stops, but as it hits idel rpm its back

yo im having a simular issue, i just had a small prang the other day an i start the engine up to keep the oil from going stagnant... bout to get it fixed but im worried it may have hurt the engine although the damage was to the gaurd it didnt touch the engine bay but i dunno.. anyways... point is when my revs go up say 2grand i hear a knocking sound not the ur tipical injectors firing sorta sound but more like a rubbing sound or something more or less... once it goes idle sound goes away, also the fan got pushed back a nudge due to the impact... an literally a nudge an sounds like the sound is coming from the fan / front end of the engine area... so might be the fan itself no idea ill be taking it to get a full service an check up an what not as well as getting the gaurd fixed but yea just thought if any 1 has any ideas?

U better hope its your lifters, and try not to drive your car too long without getting it checked out. That happened to me, got it serviced but the mech was to much of a noob to find what was wrong, turned out that i did a bearing and broke a rod or something,,the knocking sound became a crucnhing sound. long story short, i did a top and bottom end rebuild, cost about 7k, cz i went and forged everything, but it ended up worth it

Get the knocking sound sorted before you dyno it. Last thing you want is it throwing a rod out the side of the block on the dyno.

If its rising with revs then theres a good chance that you have done a big end bearing, Ive been down this road once myself... never fun...

okay, i found some stuff out, when i start it for the first time in a day the noise is there only slightly not very loud, then as i drive around and after about 10-15 mins its pretty much gone, the only thing is when i rev it under the hood and the reves are coming back down there is a slight like rotating sound like if somethign were rotating but off balance sorta thing?

so im reading this article on knocking sounds and stuff and as above you've experienced this? just needed some help, woundering if you could lend some, so i have this slight very hard to hear knock starts at about 1200rpm and falls at 1600rpm sounds almost identical to this guys sound (

) on youtube if you have the time, but a lil less noticable, i dont know if its the timing belts or what =S as its coming from the front section of the engine directly where the timing belts sit ( i think at the front end of the engine?)

and now i have this thought it could be a knocking sound and now sorta seeking advice. and if it is? top or bottom and perhaps you might even know costs?

thnx any advice is much appreciated,

- Dave

It's not timing belt or tensioner.

I have the same noise. Have had for past maybe 5000km or so.

It isn't bottom end noise, I'm pretty sure of that.

I'm convinced it's in the valvetrain. And if it's this common, I'm going to suggest lifters. But just to be sure I've got consult cable coming.

Top end rebuild of an RB25DET guys - ball parks if you've had one?

If its a knocking sounds that seems like its coming from the rocket cover, or somewhere below, the harmonic balancer might be loose. You can tell if you rev the engine and the tapping increases. Obviously while at higher speeds it will be unnoticable. If this sounds like a familar story you could be ok and its as simple as just tightening the bolt which feeds through the harmonic balancer, may also need to adjusts your belts as well. However if you have left it for to long and its slowly come loose over a period of time which btw will be completly oblivious to you, kind of like a cancer through your bottom end and treating cancer is expensive...aka bottom rebuild. Never the less if your only just noticed you might be ok, as i bloody hope so, but i sugguest you get your car to an expierencd mechine asap, as this is an inherent curse RB's carry, i know i had cancer too :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
