Yeah did a oil change Saturday. Had done 7000 so will change at 5000 now religiously it disappeared at idle after the change and is only 2800-3200 on no6 under gentle acceleration in second? Rattle rattle - gone? No noise with 6 coil pack disconnected! Weird.

how loud is it? 
 
not sure if you can use an oil flush to get the gunk out... they arent too bad to clean apart from having to get them out. there are also a couple different varieties on our engines. look the same externally but different sizing internally

Haven't pulled the cam cover but goes away with no 6 H.t. Disconnected? So I would assume a cam lifter follower issue? Seeing as its on the exhaust side?

Can only pick up the rattle in 2nd gear under mild acceleration?

 

 

 

 

U should have a lisren to my engine, rattles at idle (suspect the turbo may well be dying lol) about 3k its got a ting ting noise and at the top it sounds like a big ol straight six on heat ? 

Wouldnt be lifter, weather u disconect the coil or not it the lifters gonna do its job. However, if u disconnect the coil and it goes away ur taking the combustion away from that cyclinder. So id be looking for a leaky manifold around nunber 6 or anything in general todo with number 6

Yeah i panicked at first thinking ouch turbo, bearings, piston slap, gudgeon pin, big end knock etc. but can fully pinpoint the sound to no6 rear exhaust cam cover at only that tiny rev range. Will sus it out better on the w/end? Might need a real mechanic! Would assume tig welding it won't help!

Will suss it out better Saturday. Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it. It will give me a better starting point for trouble shooting. Never owned or worked on a car with a turbo or the cam shaft/s in the right spot except the last 8 months. Show us your v8's. She's running absolutely trick except for that! My wife and jack recond the noise is in my head! What noise! (perhaps the loony bin would be a better fix?) done all the turbo/dump pipe studs gaskets etc. So will check the manifold.
when you drive something often enough you can hear noises before anyone else or before it becomes a problem

Spent 3 months of weekends when I got it fixing rattles blips blurts knocks and bumps! Only drive her on w/ends. The captain always goes down with his ship. Then emerges with less money and More power!

I remember having issues with the escort (when I was 18) flushed and cleaned everything new radiator, heater core, plugs points gaskets leads jets etc. I was putting a new head gasket on when dad came out and wiggled the no.4 piston with his hand. Think I found your problem mate! Sell it now.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
