Hey guys, im after a few opinions from you guys that have had alot of experience with RB26's. When i shut mine off ther is a breif rattling right when everything comes to a stop. Ive been told it doesnt sound normal. Anyone else have this noise? If not wat would it be? I know ther must be lots of things it could be. I have my turbo's off at the moment and im about to remove the throttles for the 3rd time (chasing a high idle) So while its apart, if it'll make it easier where should i look first? It seems to come from the driverside of the engine...

Regards,

Deren

Godzilla32,  

I have the same rattle. Its like 3 quick medium *tink tink tink* Hope its not terminal

Yeah i think we have the same issue. I really wanna work out wat it is, it frustrates me! Wouldnt be CV joints as the car is at standstill..They cant make a noise if they arent moving...

Any ideas guys?

nah mine are stock turbos ... It only last for a second..nearly sounds like a chain rattling but as far as im aware there are no chains in an rb26 are there? maybe its a gearbox noise?? Ive been told to use a stethescope to listen to each bit separately while its shut off repetedly

er, could be anything... starter motor is down there, maybe it has slightly loose bearings or something. You could also let the clutch out whilst in gear and see when it stalls whether it still makes the noise.

For the high idle.. might want to look at this if you haven't already: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=69151 - I am pretty sure all RB engines have the same air regulator system?

Thanks heaps guys. My clutch is stock but very worn out so maybe it is that...It seems to be getting louder since i first got teh car..Then again im not even sure if it used to make the noise at all...

When the engine shuts off (in any car) the whole car vibrates, so whatever is metal near metal is causing the noise. I wouldnt worry about it. Because one of my cv joints has collapsed and you can hear the metal scraping the metal on some bumps (sounds similar) my theory is its my CV Joints. I'm getting them replaced soon and we'll see. :D

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
