I've been offline for a while, in between jobs etc...

I was left a nice little Elite card on my windscreen a week or two back on Calvary Hospital. Anyone here?

My car is a gray GTI-R.

While we're at it, anyone here own the White GST-t working at McArthur House (corner Nothbourne Ave and McArther Ave)?

That would have been the sneaky club president of EliteSport - Oppy....He works at Calvary....He's registered on here as Eliteopps....There R a couple of other blokes from Elite on here as well...John from Audiotec is our Vice Pres, he's registered on here too. You should come along to the dyno day on Saturday Poyz....all details R posted in the events section. Be good to have you there.

Not too sure mate. We got a couple of WRX's and another Gti-R in the club so i think Oppy would have tried to accomodate everybody. Plus I think some GTR's will be there. At a guess i'd say yes. Wouldn't be certain unless I ask John or Ops. Just come along anyway...should be a good turn out. If it isn't you can still meet some members and watch some other cars burn up the rollers!

Yeah, I did drive past.

I told myself I'd get up early and pop by so I can have a chat. (I spoke to Scott at Hogsbreath the night before).

Never happened, got up late and just drove past since I was in the neighbourhood. My cousin flew into town and we were headed to Sydney that day.

When's the next meet. I'll stop this time, I promise :D

I really hope it gets rid of that F**king stutter at 5k revs. see you soon.....when I'm stuck in my garage scratching my head about how to put those front splits in........man you should see where my STOCK TWEETERS are mounted. I can tell I'm going to spend endless night and days on it.

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • 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
