hey guys just need some advice i just got a r32 gtr 93 modle in very good shape pretty sure hasnt been wounded back 108000 original kz

i got a full service and got all the oils changed, and we noticed the engine oil was very thick n gooey we changed it to a 10-40 turbolight.

after we changed it i drove about 30kz and noticed a knocking noice at about 3000rvs, i herd it when we first got the car but very faint and just though it was the engine as a rb26 normly makes a ticking noice.

it got worse the next day i took it to 3 workshops and they arnt 100% sure what it is most ov them said its the lifters but im just scared it something worse, i changed the oil to a 20-50 and that quieted it abit but the noice is still there.

Has anyone had this problem and if use could please share info with me.

Thanks.

If three workshops that heard the noise didnt know, then your chance of getting a good response from people that cant hear the noise isnt good. Were the workshops familiar with RB26s?

Are you familiar with how other GTRs sound? Lifters and injectors do make a lot of ticking noise, but since you said knocking it sounds like you're hearing something else.

Now you know y the oil was very "gooey" clearly a problem that last owner couldnt solve. Be prepared for alot more issues. GTR r32 = empty pocket.

You could put up a post in forced induction to help find a workshop with gtr experience in your area.

Rb26 does not have lifters

If the noise occurs around 2500rpm it will be a worn out big end bearing and unfortunately this means u need a rebuild or a 2nd hand motor.

U could just get the crank tidied up and a new set of bearings but for the effort it takes to do that u may aswell rebuild or replace the motor

could it be anything else besides engine rebuild? i just dont get it its driveable.

[DVS JEZ]

Sorry dude. Without hearing it its hard to say

Could the oil pressure gauge show normal oil pressure with a stuffed bearing(s) ?

Or would it be very low?

yup, big end bearing

Jez knows!

chiksluvit knows!

Additive was used as a disguise I'm afraid. Get quotes for a rebuild > budget.

Every time I check over a car, I stick my finger into the oil filler hole and poke it around the top.
