Ive had a bit of noise my engine (rb25det), and as ive had permanent lifter noise previously, on the offchance that this noise is a badly stuffed lifter, im taking them all out and cleaning them. The specific noise i had ive recorded here

But im not quite sure on a foolproof way of testing which are stuffed, and how to clean them. Ive read the guide to cleaning/testing lifters on a lancer, but they are quite different to the rb25 lifters.

Does anyone have more information on how to test them and/or how to clean them?

Do you how many kms are on the motor? have you left the oil cooler on its mount or put on a relocation kit? the lifters can be checked and re-built by a engine recondition place if they cant they should know of someone because thats were they would be getting there lifters from when they do a motor!

kms are supposedly under 100k but with any import motor theres no way to be sure. engine is stock so no oil cooler/mods. as im not sure where the noise is coming from i dont want to spend 24 x 30-60$ on new lifters when they might not be the cause of the louder noise.

Well from the sound file its the lifters for sure have you done an oil change with fresh oil because it sounds like there not pumping up and been an import it may have been run with low oil and its effected the lifters i would pay to have them tested to see if they pump up and can hold pressure

tool the lifters out a few days ago, been in oil since. today my brother flushed them a bit with petrol, then left them in oil till i got back, and he said he thought 2 of the lifters on the second piston from front (no 2?), both exhaust side, were squashy, and i confirmed that this arvo

so with any luck the engine noise is from those two lifters (and both being rooted is consistant with the noise that seems to be only once per revolution of engine (and therefore cant be lifters on two different cylinders, or different sides of engine (that are equally as stuffed)

anyone know where to buy new lifters? nissan or do they cost too much? (theyre supposed to be 40$?)

find somebody in the FS section selling a halfcut or dismanlting an engine and get a couple of second-hand ones...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
