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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
