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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
