If I'm not mistaken, RB25DET Neo's also have solid lifters but my car does not have any ticking sounds. I've been around plenty of GTR's and never heard any ticking... On the other hand, my mate just got his R32 GTST back from an engine swap and the new RB25 has a noisy lifter that needs to be replaced, the car sounds like a truck at idle, very annoying sound.

Vibration can be gearbox input shaft related. Mine does the same thing. I assume my spiggot bush is the problem. I plan on changing it when I do the clutch next. Not to much of an issue.

i would definitely suggest rebuilding the head because some people on a forum that have never seen the car have managed to diagnose the problem from your vague description...

don't bother getting it checked out.... just start rebuilding :ninja:

FYI.. r34 neo heads have a valve clearance of 0.20mm on both inlet and exhaust

rb26 cyl heads have valve clearance of 0.38-0.45 cant remember exactly.. basically double, that is y neo heads r not as ticky as 26 heads even though both have solid lifters, mine is very slightly ticky, depends on oil thickness but its completely normal on the 26's...

this thread is funny haha

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
