Hey guys I had this same issue on my m35 stagea 

basically undo the two covers that protect the vtc on the front of the motor, Then carefully unplug the “blue plugs” adapter behind the cover.

There will be a solenoid sitting in the case you remove just slotted in by 2 pins. 
swap both solenoids over with eachother, then put them back on. 
 

if you want clean out the casing and the little oil hole which you’ll clearly see on the inside of the cone shaped support housing for the solenoid. 
I also degreased the inside of the solenoid by removing the little grommet at the base of the wiring on the solenoid and blew it out.

anyway, swap them over, if the noise changes sides you know all the rest of the bullshit the squinyon mechanics are telling you to swap in not necessary.

Also I did check the cam for movement by putting a spanner on the end of the cam, you should be able to twist it to tension the spring... when you turn it the right way push a little harder and it will lock into the safe lock and stop it in a position that you can’t move without oil pressure. But anyway lock it like I explained above and put her back together.

once you pull the covers off it’s very straight forward and would take any dumb c**t no longer than ten minutes to do. 
 

Mine luckily fixed the terrible knock that started at about 2k revs. 
hope it makes sense. I cbfed reading the novel I wrote so good luck.

If this works for me also we should sticky

It's not the timing chain, it is usually caused by the cvt actuator assembly. I have replaced a few now with s/h assemblies and fixed the noise. Who diagnosed it to the chain anyway?

Hey Scott, can you have a look at my car. I tried to PM’d you but it’s not sending. Apparently you’re not receiving PM message at the moment. Can you PM  your address. I’m from SE Melbourne. Thanks in advance.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
