there is other options like u catching public transport sum where but i doubt u wanna do that recovering

Just a thought that is might be worth sharing phone numbers amongst friends attendind and/or picking a channel to use on the UHF for this cruise.

Since it looks like it could be a good turnout I am sure others would like to be forewarned if there are any problems on the road up ahead. (perhaps have alternate meeting points/destinations selected if need be)

Went down Sturt poolice station today and asked the copper at the front desk (female with an european accent) whats the go with cruises? I said that I was 'thinking' of 'planning' a cruise in the next couple of months or whatever. She kept asking about dates and what cars, I said havent got dates and i said car enthusiast's cars. She went out the back to ask a traffic copper but no-one was 'available'. She handed me a coppers name and ph. number and rang it 5 times and no answer.(i guess too busy doing what cops do.........coffee, donuts.etc) ;) Anyway she said there is some sort of protocal when organising a cruise and its possible to get a clearance if the the requirements are met.

Anyone here previously organised a cruise and knows more about this??

Well finally got through to the traffic copper and he told me to provide him with route and destination details and date and times of cruise. Told me that it is not illegal to have a cruise without notifying them, but telling them in advance would look better on 'our' part and they would take 'us' more seriously having told them about it. For example we could not get pulled over for cruising because we notified them. He told me that they do not intend to set up a defect station in our path but do encourage safe driving. I reassured him we are not a 'hoon' club but we are rather 'car enthusiasts'.

Anyways gave me a fax no. to send him details of cruise.

Seems a bit weird giving them details...............could be canaries galore!!

Dont worry haven't sent anything information and have been very vague with them.

Thoughts?????

Give them the start point and end point and the basic route ie South Rd, Main North Rd, Coast Rd or whatever and the expected times (we are always late). I advised them of the cruise we had a few months ago up north, and there were no problems. Anyone dooing stupid things deserves to be pulled over, this is a cruise not a qualifying sessin for D1.

I would go conservative on the numbers (10 sounds better than 60) because we never get as many turning up as we expect. (and as mentioned some others are going to meet you there rather than cruise with the group)

yeah sounds like a good idea! i would rather tell them about the cruise if there is an incident then it could get "out of hand". But having said that everyone is responsible for their own actions and if you are an idiot on the road and get pulled over its your own fault.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
