I was just having a look under the beast just earlier and I noticed on the underside of the muffler or whatever on the back that it says 'Nissan' and underneath it, it says 'Calsonic'. I'm just wondering if everyone elses stock one is like this or iv'e got some special exhaust and I didn't even know.

It just striked me cause I know in the JGTC that there is a Calsonic Skyline and maybe iv'e got one from their tuning house or something :Paranoid:.

well one tip is actually closed off with a butterfly valve and im not sure but maybe at high revs the valve opens to let more flow through or sumthing??? beats me really, i never tested mine out cos its hard to have sumone looking at the exhaust closely and not dieing lol. When u get a new exhaust that cable can just be tucked under the heat shield (where mine is now) i reckon im gonna take the motor out cos its useless really!

i have asked so many people what that little motor thing in the boot before and no one could ever give me an answer, thank you for solving my most unsolved mystery of my skyline, haha, not that it matters as it came disconnected cause my car came with an aftermarket exaust but i still wondered what it was.

that cord thing for the exhaust is adjustable as well.

Mine opened up mid range, about 4000ish rpm.

It was designed so you could adjust your exhaust noise and all other exhaust matters.

Also, your radiators and things should be calsonic too !! :D

They make radiators and exhaust etc...

    • 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?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
