Time is almost up !

i'm trying to round up a few guys from newcastle to meet at P6 and drive back here...hopfully all cars saying they will turn up, turn up....should ba an awesome day

hmmm, interesting theory....could be right

I hooked up a oil pressure gauge, and there is no problem with the oil pressure, its very healthy. hmmm, well the car has not made this noise again since...so not sure what it is or was. maybe just the car having a monday morning hissy fit??

no-can-do for this one.... also big cruise on the weekend after.

mine.....

mate, i should be able to make it...hopefully be meeting at homebush as well btw...i hope everyone relises this is a "cruise", not a "race" ...go to a track day if you want to race. all it does is give a bad image to the club and discourage new people from going on more cruises... hope this does not sound like a rant...just giving my opinion is all

Thanks....i will take it to a mechanic. beter to be safe than sorry.

i checked the oil, and it has not moved of its mark since i did the oil change 3000 kms ago. so i guess that means its not burning oil or anything. I started up the car (had not started it since mon night, and it did not make any weird noises....? so not really sure what the problem is...perhaps the very early signs of a oil pump dying...who knows

thanks, i'll check

i don't think a bad plug would make a tapping sound when the car starts. i did change one of the plugs a couple of months ago cause it had split its shaft metal thingy. it was running rough then, but it was a bit different. I should have changed all the plugs, but only had cash at the time for 1 new one. (no bits of the plug went into the engine). i'm going to change all plugs soon, cause it misses a bit around 5000rpm, but i think this is not related to my current problem. i changed the oil about 3000kms ago, using shell helix ultra.

the clutch thingy in the fan? ....sorry don't know its real name

Thanks, is there an easy way to check the oil pressure? it may be what you guys are suggesting...after it made the noise last weds, it did not make it again till after it sat for over a day (saturday arvo till monday morning). so in this time the oil would settle. actually, come to think of it, the car has been making a very light woo, woo, woo noise from the front of the engine while running.....i thought it could be air con pump or something....but mabe the oil pump making noise? i have not worried to much about it, cause you can only just here it while the bonnet is up.

R33 GTST S1 (RB25DET) The problem started last week, when i started the car up in the morning, it made a loud tapping sound (bit like a really loud tapped/lifter). Only lasted for about 5-10 second though, also ran rough during this time and blew white smoke?...(my wife was standing behind the car and saw white smoke). Any suggestions? i thought it might be lifters or even maybe the turbo??? I drove the car to work that day, drove around heaps on sat, and it had not made the noise again. Plus i could not see any smoke in the rear view mirror or anything. But it happened again this morning....so i just left it in the garage ....but same thing, it cleared up after about 5-10 secs or so. wierd. One other thing, for a good while now i have noticed the bov(blitz) not working like it used to, instead the internal wastegate has been making more noise?? i thought this could just be because i have put on a bleed valve and am running 10psi. i did not think this was a related problem...but thought i would add it in anyway. the bov problem if it is has not been effecting performance, just means the wastegate is louder nowdays. Any help on this problem would be appreciated, thanks

if everyone could pm me their address, i'll mail a cd with some pics stan....did you guys take any pics/video when the cars were getting ready? i forgot
