Car Makes Ticking Noise After Oil Change...
buckets replied to buckets's topic in General Maintenance
hey yeah mate, theres a sticker in engine bay from when the car got the timing belt done, was at 98,xxxkms so should still be alright? -
hey guys ive made up a spread sheet to work out how many L/100km. also differences in price, how many litres etc, so i can keep an eye on it. just need to know... how many litre is the R33 (s2 if it changes) fuel tank? also, anyone happen to have a computer copy of the owners manual for r33? ive got the service manual but want the owners manual

Car Makes Ticking Noise After Oil Change...
buckets replied to buckets's topic in General Maintenance
hey man, my odomter is just about to tick over 110,XXXkms should i really do another oil change? money is now tight due to me doing one a couple of days ago. also it seems like my car is loving royal purple, runs nice and smooth, revs nicely above 4/5000RPM. that may also have been because the oil in it was sh** also lol -

hey guys i just got home from my gfs house (yes the time is right) and i noticed the ticking noise was louder... im starting to get paranoid about this... might be stupid but i put a full synthetic oil when i did the service, any chance thats whats doing it? i also used the nulon oil get-ridd-er or whatever its called also... ive noticed since the oil and filter change my oil pressure isnt as high as what it use to be on start up... used to sit around 6 not sits about just above 4 (could this be the problem?) -

Car Makes Ticking Noise After Oil Change...
buckets replied to buckets's topic in General Maintenance
ok... so car does it while at idle when warmed. it will not do it while under power (tested in my garage) or warming up. yeah i did an oil change and i unplugged then engine loom and got the starter motor kicking but so the car wouldnt turn over, so i could prime the oil pump without doing any damage. check it after that and it was spot on "H" so i shouldnt be worried about it?!?! hey mate i dunno what oil was in it before, only had car two weeks and oil looked shithouse so i thought id change it, but i made sure i didnt put shit oil in her. -

also car does it at idle when warmed up, havent noticed if it does while warming... will confirm later on this morning lol will try to confirm also if it while clutch is out and if it does underacceleration... for the moment but still open for ideas! -
hey guys changed my oil and oil filter yesterday, and today i noticed a faint ticking noise at idle, but from what i can see, no under acceleration. had the car 2 weeks now and i dont know what oil the past owner had in it. it might be just me being all "think the worst thing possible" ticvking doesnt sound like a klunk noise and its not very loud, at idle you must stand outside the car to hear it, but if you stand at the back of the car you can hear it our the exhaust.) anywho the oil was royal purple 10w-40 and a k&n oil filter. any ideas?!? im soo hoping its not serious, ive only had car 2 weeks!!
-
hey guys done 340kms now with mm left before E. so its better than what it was. any more info on what it coupld be would be greatly appreciated
-
hey put royal purple in car runs soo much better now. however i just need to find whats eating my fuel!!!! ALL HELP THANKED FOR!!! HELP ME AND MY FUEL!!!!!
-
this morning i went for a 40 min drie (20 there, 20 back) went to go and get some oil ancd oil filter to do a bi of a service. anywho, i left my house with 210ishkms and came home wit 245ishkms. my petrol tank had gone from half a tank to about 2mm above quarter or a tank! this was not stop tart either, 60, 70 and 80 km/h zones with a few traffic lights and roundabouts on the way. and it was very fuel efficient driving. what is going on?!?! and na man, its everyday driving on flat rounds with some small dips and hills
-
hey guys In the last couple of days ive been winding out the gears more and more smooother, not so much jump on and wooosh sh*t. I im now on half a tank with 210kms on the trip, however at the moment the fuel guage is going from half a tank, then up then guage about 3-4mm evey now and then... any change my fuel guage could be stuff? apart from the slight up and down every now and then it pretty much sits and the constant level the fuel is at. Could it also be that the car has now gotten use to my driving style instead of going off the old owners one? (ive only had the car 2 and half weeks) Only problem with this is that most fuel pump sensors shit themselves on my tank, it will be 3/4 empty, ill put some fuel in and it will cut off, when i know its not full. Been drivng the car around per normal and instead of 280/300ish a tank, im on half a tank with 210 kms on the trip. also car is seeming to take bout 2ish kms to warm up so thermostat is sweet

hey guys was just wondering what sorta oil i should run car is a 96 R33 gts25t series 2, odometer says only 110,000kms and interior and engine bay looks like its done that many kms. was looking in motul 300v chrono, alot of people seem to like this oil. where abouts would i be able to get it from? (rang Repco, they told me 110bux for 4L and 60 for 2L, anywhere cheaper?) good oil for my car? (want a fully syntetic) also... where can i source a k&n oil filter from? any real difference between a k&n and a ryco?
-
hey guys thanks for all the info just a question, how do i clean my afm?
-
alright guys, will hopefully do o2 sensor on weekend. will post up results
-
haha na yeah i havent, only had car 2ish weeks heard the el falcon one fits, does it do same job as genuine? dont wanna fork out more money for somthing that does the same job
-
alright so what would my first move be? inside my exhaust at the rear of the car is quite black (as in rub your finger and its covered) so should i replace the o2 sensors first off?
-
one of them? is there 2? where is the other located? could i use a multimeter to check this?
-
yeah it is, running stock boost too i think so 5psi or whatever it is. just wanna know why i got such bad fuel consumption, i know skylines are a performance car but 280kms out of a full tank still? and thats not floggin it every time either
-
sounds like the turbo is spooling up but, even when under the 0 in the negative side
-
hey guys ive had really bad fuel milage (approx 280kms a tank) anywho i was thinking it was the o2 sensor, but when driving home from work i watched the stock boost guage closely. at normal cruising, it sits close to -6 but once a bit of throttle is put on (below 2.3-3000 revs) it moves up to 1/4 mark and somtimes 0. am i getting constant boost? i know a turbo works on exhaust gases but i dont know much about the factory boost guage.
-
hey guys im gettin really low milage (approx 280 kms a tank) how do i check if the o2 sensor is shit? its prob been covered but i need an asnwer pretty quickly as its costing me a fortune.
-
hey guys well today i was able to get to the back of my headunit, all connections were fine along with RCA connections. whilist i had the headunit out, i changed my headunits (one in my old car was better) did all the wirering and presto, the subs now work! no idea how but, thinking RCA connections in back of headunit were dodgey?? many thanks to leon for all his advice, top bloke!
