Hey guys, im just new to the site. Bought my R33 GTS-t last week. So firstly i would like to say hi to everyone :D

I live down south and i parked in a collonades carpark and went to far into the cement block on the carpark >.< theres a small crack in the front bumper that i have just covered with black tape for now. Does anyone know any good fibreglasses in the southern area that they would recommend?

Thanks, Nathan.

Welcome to SAU mate.....i personally wont really worry about that little crack...let me ask is it a stock front bar or aftermarket.....also be very careful with speed humps, gutters etc while parking and stuff.....

It's an M spec front bumper. and it has been scraping quite a bit, the bumper looks frail as its starting to splice and splinter :S is there anyway to heighten the car a small bit because a new bumper would be quite expensive. its exactly 100mm off the ground.

if it's just a stock bar then your ride is too low! get some standard springs or something

Yeah its not a stock bar, im affraid if i put stock springs on it, is going to look like crap. Any other suggestions? maybe i could get a new front bumper thats a bit higher?

Sweet as man, PM sent. I think i saw that 180 @ the castle plaza - westlakes cruise.

Does your shop have a leather cover (thing that goes around gear stick, not sure what its called :D) mines a bit torn.

Thanks!

    • 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?
