If you just want to get out on the track for the sake of cutting some laps then go for it, but if your intention is going after the clock forget it. If I have nothing else to do i'll pop in for a looksie.

I don't think it will be too bad, especially since it's not full up yet.

Circuit Club days are usually pretty good, there is a lot of fast drivers in the club so you don't get held up that much.

FAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK

I just rang a work mate whop was out there, said he went through two tyre walls??

Yeah demolished one wall and got stopped by the second. He hit pit wall right at pit exit (flag booth) first. Lift-off oversteer from what I saw, it looked sideways at the 100 metre mark!

Painful painful, the guy was ok though I think, I'm sure I saw him standing next to the car later while it was on the tow truck.

An R32 Golf met its maker too, over cooked and slid off turn 1. So much carnage.

Ouch, not good at all >_<

Any times Matt?

Yeah it was a dissapointing night for me though. First time in the new car, first time on EC, but only got the first two sessions in and then the front drivers side tyre fell apart like nothing I've ever seen and I was forced to retire!

Ran 2 mins flat in it though in those two sessions. It definitely highlighted the need for stiffer suspension as I was apparently hardly keeping the inside wheels on the ground while I was cornering.

Ended up moderately ok after the night.

But now i'm trying to salvage any parts from the car, from previous mods that weren't damaged, to sell off.

:D

So if anybody is interested. Anything from the car that isn't damaged is up for sale. PM me.

have to start from square one. :D , its totally fu**ed. >_<

      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?
