Hi SAUers,

i have a few small issues with my gtr thats been bugging me. the engine is making a ticking noise which appears to be near the top end. it's very annoying and can be heard all the time. it doesn't sound that bad but still annoying. also when driving anything below 2500 revs. ticking can be heard. not ridiculously loud but very obvious anything below 3rd gear. noisy injectors? lifters? screwed crackshaft? dying valve?? timing?

heres an audio clip

97 r33 gtr

117,000 kms

Thanks

Look I'm not 100% sure but I also have a 97 series 3, and it sounds very similar to mine. As far as I know all GTRs are known for having a loud ticking sound coming from the injectors, this is normal. Maybe someone who knows more than me might say different, but I'd say its nothing to worry about.

hi there. yeah initially i also thought it was normal among gtrs but at the same time was 100% so i just wanna check with other r33 owners.

anyone else can confirm this? if it's injector, would switching to aftermarket like nismo help remedy the tappet noise?

Nope, I have Nismo 555cc injectors and it makes the same noise. Although I have changed back to the standard injectors and I think they make a litttle more noise, but not by much.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
