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!

at least she is hot!

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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
