So sad !!!! :)

I've had the pleasure of parking my butt in the drivers seat of that DR and it gave me goosebumps !! The car is in "as is" condition, fresh from it's last race 15 odd years ago and it still has all the race car appeal that it did when I saw it race around the mountian so many years ago........ Oh how I wish I had the money....... :D

As for the EXA........... Well that car's just plain SCARY !!! Can you say "touque steer" ??? No wonder Fred gave it to Christine to drive :)

I wonder if this is the one thats at the Laporchetta Trackside resturaunt in Gosford. The owner has a DR gibson skyline, Longhurst's old seirra and heaps of skyline posters/photos/signed stuff etc

go book a table and have a look :)

Of course the GTR doesn't get out too often, I don't think its much good as a daily driver. He did bring it along to the first show n shine and to a track day a while back, but the R31 gets out much more often.

If that dr is $150000 what would the GTR be worth???

It had a ground up refurbishment after it's last race ( and has never been raced since ) so at a guess, considering it's condition ( unf***in believable ) and racing heritage ( just say "GODZILLA" ), I would suggest you would be pushing some big 6 figure $'s to get your hands on it ( if Terry would ever part with it ) :) If he did I know I'd be in morning for a long time :(

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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?
