hi guys i was out giving my car a bit of a hard time on w/e and after an 8000rpm shift motor started making a tapping noise...

Sounds kinda like as if it is a tappet but motor doesn't have them so any advise would be greatly appreciated to find the problem

lol @ big end.. as for tappets.... they have shims... check valve clearance...

but if u were cainin it and it started afterwards.. doesnt look good :D

8000rpm isnt that bad for an rb26 anyway hahah i take mine to 9k every now and then and always hits 8k

so im gathering u guys believe its a bottom end job? cheers

near silent on idle and builds in noise as free reved and whilst under no load when driving under load it is quite again

check ur injectors that make a loud/ish tapping noise!

when i first brought my car they where quiet, after using 98ron and injector clean every service noticed they got noisy!!

mechanic told me if there taping away, there working :D

hope thats all it is for u buddy!!!

P.S like tha guy said up there 8k is nuffing for a RB 26

ahh crap.. oh wellz :D

try to isolate the problem first... screwdriver to ear is a good way... stethescope is the best way.. but how many of u guys have one.. lol make sure ur careful.. dont go near the belts or any moving parts :P

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
