Alright so ive got a ticking noise.. i know a bit about engines but mainly older carbed ones.

Local mechanic doesnt know what it is and ill probably be taking it to nissan next week.

Thing is that it only happens sometimes, sometimes i will drive for an hour and the noise wont be there, but sometimes it is.

i THINK the idle speed is different when its ticking to when its not ticking.. i havent really tested that so not 100% positive.

It happens around 1500rpm when im stationary and when i rev it a bit harder or not that hard it doesnt make the sound.

Main reason im confused is that it only happens sometimes.

Anyway here is the video

2001 Nissan Skyline V35 300GT sedan

Any info will be appreciated.

my mate got a heap of work done to his v35 (was in workshop for about 6 months without getting driven) after he picked it up and drove it he had a ticking noise coming from the motor constantly. during idle and acceleration.

i have heard people say it comes from the "lifters" due to not having much oil in the engine.

not sure if that's true or not but after he did a service the oil looked like shit and the ticking noise stopped.

i'll watch video tonight when i get home but i daresay it's probably something similar, go and check your oil levels

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
