Meebs

I've been reading alot into this on the internet and it seems 2000RPM is the magical rattling mark. But it seems the issues and solution varies a lot. The only thing that baffles me is that it only occurs once the engine starts warming up. Driving it around cold you cannot her the sound at all. Last time i'm ever gonna buy a used car from a private seller or any used car in that matter. Live n learn i guess lol

hi its me again, anyway after 3 weeks with my car at the mechanics, my mechanic is telling me the issue is coming from the cam gears (The passenger side VTC i think) which is goin to cost $1200 to replace but thats not all hes gonna have to also replace *1 timing chain $235 *tensioners $85 *2 small timing chain $245 *2 small tensioners $235 some cooliant and other stuff around $100 all up around $2500 including labor. He said that due to "age" that i have to replace everything else and that the new cam gears also requires that i get all those little replacements....... My question is dose this sound right to you? has anyone have any experience on replacing any of these items? hes goin to ship them from japan. Other people are telling me just to replace the tensioners. Im prob gonna take it for second opinions to other mechanics. Any ideas and opinion will be greatly helpful cheers.

Yer guess i meant VTC lol, the way he pronounced it made it sound like he said VTEC hahaWith the springs breaking would that caused the rattling at certain RPM? and km/h? What i've also notice is that on a cold start up or when the engine is cool there is no noise when i rev it to those troubled RPM's only once the engine gets warm and hot does it the issue occurs. Also once speed passes 50km/h+ the noise is gone even if i hit those Revs. Thx for the info guys keep them coming . the issue is really bugging me. Hopes its not gonna be to costly to fix. Edit: well after alot of researching using the term VTC hehe, I've discovered alot of similar engine Nissans have had VTC issues. The solution i am getting is just to disconnect the VTC from the engine and sacrifice low end performance to get rid of the ticking noise since it seems replacing these VTC can cost up to $500 each.

Update: after my mechanic took a look at it, the sound is coming from one of the VTEC(I didn't even know the engine had a VTEC,). Seems to be an issue with the sensors inside the VTEC or something. If you remove the blue cap thingy with the wires coming from the right VTEC the clicking noise goes away but engine lights goes on when you drive it. He was busy so im gonna bring it in again on Friday to get the full check. If anyone is familiar with the issue please enlighten me. My mechanic also said its still ok to drive, so if it cost to much for parts and to fix i might just live with the problem. Also i doubt i can get any warranty out of it unless there's a ENGINE FAIL since i bought it from a close friend and traded him my dodgy Suzuki which is causing him more headaches then my V35 is to me lol.

Hi, just bought a 2004+ V35 250GT Auto sedan 2 weeks ago . For a week now I've notice a clicking noise coming from some where in the engine, it occurs when i rev to around 1700RPM-2000RPM then it goes away with anything higher. Its a Very loud click/rattling sound and if i rev it in neutral at a stand still you can feel the whole car vibrating/shaking due to the clicking. I will be taking it to my mechanic tmr, in the mean time dose anyone know what the problem might be? Thx in advance Edit: Also only occurs when accelerating not on idle or decelerating.Also just had the car service with oil change. is it possible there is too much oil in the engine?
