RB25 NEO KNOCKING/TICKING NOISE

Hello i recently purchased this vehicle with a rb25det neo (4wd motor with gtr pull type clutch)that has a knocking/ticking sound. I got it at a good price and drove it home 6hours.

 

The old owner who was an elderly person said the car sat for 3 years and was only started once in a blue moon, during that time it was said the sound occurred. 

 

The best way i can describe it is when you start the car for the first time in the day there is a louder knocking sound which then quitens slightly after 2 seconds and continues making that knock noise no matter the engine temperature. It also doesnt seem to change under load and only gets faster with revs. It sound like it is comeing from the rear of motor.

Also when turning the engine over by hand it gets to a point where it is hard to turn over. I h

ave added new hpr 10 oil and mbl8 to no change. 

I have it booked in somewhere but it is hard to find a place what wants to try diagnose it without stripping down the engine. I just cant do that right now.

 

Any answers and advice appreciated.

 

Thanks 

Cameron

Don't buy f**ked car if you can't identify the fault and fix it yourself. At the very least you need to have an idea of the cost of fixing it.

You wasted money on the oil change, so that was a bad start.

 

What did tthink was wrong with iI when you bought it?

I strongly doubt the oil is clean. if you drop it there will be sparkles of copper all through the bottom of the drain tray.

I've very confident the bottom end needs a rebuild to replace the spun big end bearing, measure for any other damage (eg rod), cleaned thoroughly and reassembled

Lifters will be more of a tap tap noise, doesn't have as much of a "chunky" tap if you get me. That's bottom end knock on your engine 100%. As Duncan is saying, pull the oil pan off it will look like there's glitter sprinkled in there, check the drain plug too. Ask me how I know...(not on an RB though).

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
