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? :)

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
