take it to a mech. asap! i wish i had gone to see one earlier. i started hearing a similar noise, took it to my mech, turns out harmonic balancer had come loose... left it too long and had damaged my crank :D

hopefully this isnt your problem.

-trel

This is screwed... i have just changed the spark plugs... but i took it for a few drives and it never made any noise..

Then a couple days before i moved overseas i started the engine and it was fine no noises at all..... so i dno how a noise like that could suddenly come up?

worst of all is i now like in U.A.E and im trying to get rid of the car soon as possible.....

Could be valve guides in the head. :worship:

i dont see how the valve guides could make that noise?... i dont think its the valves themselves because i bent valves and it make a different sound to that..... so i dont think its bent valves.

if valve guide were stuffed... then oil would be getting into the cylinders and there would be smoke coming out the exhaust?

I hope it could just be the water pump?

otherwise what sort of bearings are in the head?

Idler pulley bro.

It sounds SO much worse than it is though huh? I crapped myself when mine started doing it. But with mine it went away after the car warmed up.

Check out my vid:

Same noise more or less. I changed my belts/idler/tensioner, goneburger :P

thanks for that man very helpful! i will get a gates kit and replace everything, its due for it anyway

let you guys know the results

if your not sure take it to a mechanic that is..... to me it sounds like it may be a few different things so best to take it to someone that can u tell u for sure and pinpoint the problem before it gets worse....

could me your lifters if u say it started doing it after sitting there for alittle while.

    • 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.
