I had recently changed my timing belt and water pump ect. And when I started my car it started fine and revved out fine and idled awesome. Although when I let my clutch out all the way in neutral it starts making a really wierd ticking noise I have no idea what it is any thoughts or ideas?

Sooooooo you put the clutch in and now that you have released it there is a ticking noise?

Is the noise coming from the timing belt area or the rear of the engine?

Does the noise change with RPM?

Is the idle now odd?

Need much more information to diagnose things over the internet

It actually sounds like it is coming from the front of the motor near the timing belt, the idle is the same it just ticks and the pitch defiantly changed of the tick when revving but revs normal. I don't have it on ramps but thanks for checking.

Is your CAS on the way out? Mine made weird noises when i put the timing cover back on and could not work out what it was. Thought the belt was rubbing because with the timing cover off it sounded ok

Turned out my CAS bearing(s) were shot. When you pull the CAS out turn it you will soon know if you have the same problem as me. Should spin nice and freely. Mine was hard to turn by hand

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • 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!    
    • 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. 
    • 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
