I first noticed the knock (which isnt very loud) when I was in gear and clutch out, just slowing down. The whining was been there for a while and suspect a belt tensioner needs replacing, but I have no idea what this knock is. It can only be heard when I back off the accelerator.

Here is a video:

yep, big ends, the more you drive the more damage your doing, if you strip it now you might be able to get away with linishing the crank (or maybee machine to undersized )and new bearings, if you keep driving, (maybee already to late) you will destroy the crank, rods, even have the motor let go and leave you stranded, pretty much if you want to rebuild, the more the motor runs the higher your bill gets

That's f**ked, just got the car, the funny thing is it only started making the sounds after I dropped the oil (Which was SO filthy and full of metal) and put fresh golden stuff in it.

Would the be damage to the head as well?

Also I was planning to drop this in: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RB25DET-New-Forged-Short-Engine-RB25-Block-Bottomend-Race-Drag-Drift-/371239977607?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item566fa08287

Would the be fine with the neo head?

If the motor let's go it will damage the head, if metal shavings go up to the cams it will damage the cams and the head, the previous owner probley put a really thick oil in the car to mask the noise so he could sell it to rip someone off into thinking the motors fine.

Yup after 25,000 in my GTR I had the same death rattle. Be careful I didn't notice and was boosting around (music going) for an afternoon and that was enough to bend the crank (ruin the journal) and crack the block - I was running 340kw at the time

I also had to recon my turbos (new -5's with 4000km on them). Head was fine though was pretty happy about that. Also had to replace oil cooler core as it could not be cleaned.

good luck.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
