Have the exact same noise in my r32 gtst.

Ticking gets faster as you accelerate, sounds like its coming from under my cam cover...

check for loose bolts on your exhaust manifold. could also be a knackered rocker cover gasket. change it anyway its 50 bucks.

also put in a bottle of lifter free up. all that should cost you 100 bucks. if it fixes it you win. if not your looking at new lifters mate.

Dude RB26's dont have hydraulic lifters. But they do have very noisy injectors. And a propensity to run big end bearings.

With a wooden dowel about 40cm long place one end on different parts of the block/injectors etc and listen to amazing (or annoying) sounds!

Wood helps to localise the noise better than a long shafted screwdriver IMHO.

*The other end goes to your ear hole if I wasn't clear enough :P

Yep do this before you take it anywhere at least it will tell you whether it is top or bottom end. IMHO if it is happening when you put it under load and then gets a bit louder or changes slightly when you back off the throttle = bottom end = rebuild. But confirm it as mentioned above first. Let us know.

The noise could be a number of different things, including anything that has a pulley that the belts wrap around. Like the alternator, etc... It could be the valving as noted above, and it could even be the apex seals tapping on the housing (which is really not good). In theory, it could also be a fuel injector problem.

This is some of the dumbest advise ive ever read on SAU, seriously if you know nothing about engines or diagnosing please just keep it to yourself.

And the reason Im harsh when it comes to advise giving is because the wrong advise will always lead to worse problems and more expensive repairs...

Please, for the love of god, if you know so little about an RB engine that you think it could be apex seals in a piston engine, you need to stay the hell away from cars.

I associate ticking to a bomb ....

Ticking in mine turned out both times to be big end bearing - just sayin'

BTW: Departure posted and by the looks of it departed !

Agreed, a loud tick that increases with revs is baaaad......sometimes.......its not really a tick if it quiet then is it, more of a click bang lol

and yes lol looks like he vanished...or forgot his password so i guess we will never know

sorry guys been pretty busy its defently sounds like its comeing from the lifters as i tryed the wood theory is it verry hard to get to the lifters ?

Depends what you mean, and what you are planning to do when you find them, and find they are solid lifters.

To answer your question, it is not a big achievement to get to the lifters. Surely that is obvious!

Also,I wonder what housing the apex seal would tap on? :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
