guys has anyone got any idea what this ticking noise could be coming from my car? (other than a bomb)

it only happens sometimes... like tonight i filled up at the servo... took off... went to do a u turn and gave it a bit of stick round the corner... went to the lights and it started ticking! sounded like a metal ticking noise... quite loud.

then when i got home and went to check it out it stopped... well it stopped b4 i got home...

its happend a few times recently... seems to be after i give it a bit of a caining... but then again i took it around the rds just then and thrashed it and nothing... sounds normal.

If its a turbo gasket you'll here it eminating from around the turbo (obviously), and it'll gradually get worse.

Thats what mine did.

When it starts ticking again, get someone to rev it and stick your head near the turbo and have a good listen.

Though my noise didn't come and go as yours does?

I also get this ticking noise when I first start the car up from cold. Idles for about a minute then goes away...dosen't sound nice when it does it though...

It's not the lifters or injectors, very loud and distinct, and only happens when I start it in the morning.

I have read a few other forums and could it be the oil pump not working properly when it's cold?

I think we all would be GREATLY appreciative if someone knows what is happening...

Cheers

I had a decent listen this morning (sat) and I think it sounds like the lifters or something in that part of the engine, because it stills make noise after its started, so possible not the starter motor or something....I have no idea really, take it to the experts when I can...

just to let anyone know still interested in this, I haven't been able to get to Ice Performance yet, but I found out (I think) why my engine was making a ticking noise; I was parking on a lean and the oil must of drained almost completely out of one side of the head and thus when I started it in the morning there was no oil there to lube up the cam and lifters, etc. until the pump got the oil up there. Have been parking on level ground since and not one ticking noise!!

hoorah!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?

      Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.

      It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
