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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

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

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
