Well i just saw the Z tune was pulling 1.01.115 seconds around tsukuba which is pretty much the same as the R35 GT-R.. Althou the R35- GT-R was stock. So i can't wait to see the NISMO R35 with atleast 600PS by the end of this year surely! I still think the R34 Z tune looks nicer thou!

The Z-tune is old hat.

Get ready for some brutal Nismo insanity. They're under pressure to be da tuning boss for the R35, i'm expecting something hardcore (bigger power+lower weight) yet balanced (chassis wise).

Think 'road legal Super GT racer', imagine that freakin' bodykit and all the carbon...*cringes with excitement*

I'm pizzling my dizzle just thinking about it :D

Yeh i would take a Z tune over a standard new R35. Those Z tunes will be soooooo rare, and 30 years down the track will be commanding a rediculous price

will be so rare ? theres already only 20 of them lol

and they do the 1/4 in 10.04 secs and have a brake G Force of -1.6G's

and they are already or should i say... have always commanded ridiculous money.. but its worth it.

Its a super car killer in almost every aspect ;)

if my shitty rx7 race car can reel off a mid 10 with semi's and 400hp...then a 500hp 4wd race launchin @ 9000rpm can do the same. twice as much traction with more power and lot more torque.. no problems

and that 10.04 wasnt the nismo time... it was the time recorded by an aussie block who owns a Z tune

Nismo reeled off an offical 10.4sec 1/4.. forgot to add that haha :)

hmmm very very tough ... if oyu take the ztune you will be forever worried about , you wont want to rack up the k's on it and will be expensive to maintain. Or take the r35 have some luxury but not quite as fast.. think ill take the r35 , just.

I think it going to take a while for people to "get use to" and actually like the r35gtr, i mean i love its agressive stance and the looks it brings to the skyline family, it has taken a rounder shape but kept some original features like the tail lights etc. Power wise and handling wise, for a stock car it is more than amazing, the z-tune is a wikid car with it's total package and agressive styling however wait untill aftermarket tuning companies bring out parts for the r35gtr, it is going to be one hell of a car...you can bet on that.

    • 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!
    • 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?
