The big fella is up for grabs again.

Now with Tein EDFC and a big stereo - and apprarently no new photos (I took these last year when selling it - note the GOLGO plates)

Such a nice car - I do miss it.

Would make a nice garage friend for the red one :(

Hehe - yeah, stereo install has neons.

Guy was a 40-something dude. Has apparently traded up to a certain prancing horse...

Gee, that garage looks familiar...

They are all your pics arent they on the for sale ad?

This has NOS also now too doesnt it. Would have needed some serious $$ spent to justify the price IMO he has it up for.

Probably my all time favourite GTR, damn you and your persona creating ability! :(

The suspension was hideous.

Ahh but when a similar car came on the market with most of the right bits I had to have it.

I will be sorely tested if I ever see the plates on a lesser car...like a lancer.

Hehe - not sure why Steve, it's the carpark at Thomson :rofl:

I tried getting it down the ramp once at UDA, and well... it didn't go well.

Hence Geoff, why such monster-truck suspension.

Was the first thing he changed :(

never knew how quick these evo's are until i saw one (7 i think) the other day take on a motorbike and beat it from take off to finish :P:O

A 250CC maybe... but any decent sportsbike is going to put down a 0-100 time in 3ish seconds

either that or the biker didnt even bother.. I know i dont when cars try and drag me on the bike :)

    • 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)
