hey guys just got my engine together and once it started. from around 3000rpm there is a rattle from the top end. at first it sounded like a broken valve spring. but at idle car is quiet. so decided to take head off and have it sent off to be inspected and checked. head came back a week later and turned out fine. all parts were inspected and checked for clearances. also in mean time i checked the piston heights incase it was a bottom end bearing. but motor before 26 head conversion was very sound. so head go's back on and start car up and noise is still there. now the ecu is a haltech elite witch has just got a base map on it. one person from the machine shop where the head was done. said it could be detonation ?  car is running e85 with 2200cc injectors. im just looking for some feedback or ideas. as this is got me stuffed and i dont wanna give the car to the tuner with issues

 

cheers guys

It won't detonate running no load, unless one of the injectors is spraying only a tiny % of what it is supposed to.  And even then, I wouldn't expect it to ping so that you could hear it and think it was mechanical noise.

And it will also be very unlikely to ping audibly on E85 anyway.

Check the cam gear bolts, recently had a rattle in this area on a RB25 the bolts were clipping the inside of the cas.

ah ok ive heard this. especially when not running the cam cover. witch im not. i would of thought the noise would be from idle. not from certain rpm. but i will have a look at that. cheers mate

The same thing happened with mine, I think the camshaft is pulled fowards very slightly as revs increase, I found very very fine aluminium filings on the back of the cas. Otherwise did you have lifter bores checked they can stick if they rock in the bores. Were small end bushes new??

There are small steel bushes in the cam belt cover that space the cas the correct distance. Make sure you have original mounting bolts for cam gear installed ,the original bolts have quite shallow heads. 

I did order the oem cam gear bolts from Nissan but ill check the spacing of the cas to gear tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
