ok so my RB26 developed at random this tick noise it sounds somewhat like pre det, i was concerned it would happen at low rpm if acc pedal was applyed or jabed etc.

however if you gently apply it, it will rev high into the rpm with nothing no noise and sometimes be gone totally ?

so i have a look around everywhere today looking for gasket leaks etc stethoscope every where as i thought it might be valve train or something nothing motor was quiet as a mouse, but it was still there

pulled the pipe off the breather and put my thumb on the pcv valve on and off and the loud tick came and went sounds exactly like it sprayed some carby cleaner into it and noise was gone then returned after a few minutes.

where do i get a PCV valve to check if this is the issue? and has anyone every had anything like this before? what as the solution ?

sorry to revive an old post, however did you ever resolve this?

My bnr34 seems to make a sound i believe is similar to yours, except it will only do it when throttle is jabed hard and engine is on full boost high in the rev range. pretty much anything engine related, tune, something loose possibly, has being elimnated so i am really lost! the noise can only be heard from inside, not outside the car.

when you had the sound, did it sound like it was coming from the middle of the firewall area/from engine bay?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
