Hey

im having major dilemas with my RB26DETT R32 GTR.

bad idle. no power sometimes.. power curve not smooth. drop out completely. and sometimes goes into safe mode and wont rev over 2500rpm. this doesnt always happen.. mostly after warming up and after comin off the highway.

i usually would pull over shut off and push the plug in and shes good for a while more.

the top AFM plug was faulty so i replaced the connectors yesterday and that worked for a day. but it dropped out again today after 30+kms on the way home.. so i drove it home in safe mode. played with connector.. re insulated it and pushed it back in. now shes fine fine. i even wrapped it with alfoil to stop the heat from getting to it. took it for a qucik blast and so far so good. :starwars:

NOW.

my oil pressure guage shows just above zero! between zero and the first bar!.. :confused: im fairly alarmed bout this. think it is a electric problem.

anyone able to help me please. its no fun driving and lossing power like that!.. please help?.

my question is. why is it dropping power.. ther is a GOOD connection to the afm. could it be AFM fault? and why is my oil pressure so low (idling) not like this this morning.

im appreciative of any help.

mark. :)

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?

      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
