I've just recently bought a rb25det that ive just gotten running. It's got me stumped on a noise in the motor, it's a slight knocking noise only on idle and when it's fully warmed up but as soon as you touch the throttle it goes away. The noise it in the rear of the motor. Oil pressure sits on about 32psi warmed up on idle and goes up to around 80psi when you rev it. The motor was imported from Japan in a half cut, it has 86000 ks that's all log booked. It sounds like bottom end knock but I'm unsure because of the symptoms. Any help from more experienced people with rbs would be great?

Wow, I have a very similar noise but its not so much a knocking its more of a ticking. Same as you, goes away when you bring the revs up from idle.

A good place to start would be to get a long screwdriver, put the car on 4 stands or 4 ramps and start it. Use the long screwdriver against your ear and against any surface you think the noise is coming from. It acts like a stethoscope so you should be able to hear where it's coming from.

I cant seem to work out where my noise is from unfortunately.

Possibly check the timing if its a standard engine set up maybe just re align the crank angle sensor with the correct position marking and while adjusting the timing if its out a bit poor a little fuel stabilizer in the fuel tanks last few litres of fuel and run the car till it is dead empty on a flat surface and try starting it up a few times to get any bits of fuel out that has got water in it, fuel stabilizer gathers the water in the fuel tank and sits it at the bottom so when its close to completely empty the water will be sucked up and burned of instead of it mixing with all the fuel in the tank and making it ping my car basically did not ping any more after i got the water out of the fuel in my tank but if the problem comes back after re fueling you may have to do the procedure again, good luck, water in fuel makes cars ping

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
