Hi Guys,

I know its my forst post but i need some help.

I am hearing bit of a knocking noise coming from the top of my R33 GTR engine (turbo side) a few seconds after it starts. The noise kinda increases with revs but disappears after 3k rpm but returns when i let go of the gas. The knocking does go when oil get slightly warm after 3 or 4 minutes. I have also taken the oil cap off when the engine is on and i can hear a clicking/tapping kind of noise. The noise has got a bit louder over time but i am hoping its the clearances or lifters and nothing more than that.

Anyone have any suggestion or further dignostic help???

are u sure the noise is comming from the top of the engine? not the middle or bottum?

I thought when my gtr was knocking it was coming from the top but it was actually bottum end bearing

Bent valve(s)!!

This happened to a customers GTR, previous owners tried to chase power with boost, leaned out which caused melting of plugs and broken ring-lands. The melting of the plugs caused material to get caught under both exhaust valves at no.6, something else could have gone through engine also?

If the valves dont seat then they have too much clearance and knock at top of engine.

Thanks for your response guys....The bearings were only done about 3 months ago due to a dodgy filter so i am hoping that they havent gone again. When they did go the noise was not like this and the mechanic seems to think that the noise is my clearances thet need sorting. This time its kind of coming from the top and definately towards the middle of the exahust side cam but as i said the noise does go away after a few minutes.

whats the oil presure like? hot/cold? ive never ever heard a big end knock disapear with heat. maybe a dodgy lifter

The oil pressure is great due to the trust oil pump. Im seeing 7bar when the car is stone cold and just over 2 bar on idle when the oil reaches 80 degrees. Pressure whilst driving is also very good. I also have trust sump extension.

Here is a sound clip io managed to get today when i started her.

Full spec of the car is as follows just in case it could be one of the mods

Apex V-max SPL pistons with cooling channles

Trust rods

R34 crank balanced

Nismo 24 U Block

Apexi 280degree cams with 10.5mm lift

Apexi double springs

Trust greddy Intake plenum

Greddy t517z trubos

Trust oil pump

As i mentioned, this noise does go after the oil starts warming up and there is no loss in performance thats for sure lol

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
