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? :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
