Recommended Posts

oh, and will seam weld from the a pillars to all the front suspension mount points. Theres just no practical way to get enough cage bars through there :3some:

Actually it looks like it may be possibly, by going inside the front guards (which are welded on :)). I might look at how to get those suckers off...

Whats there now?

Are you happy with the tune you got from STZ mang? They are a haltech premium rep or something... (gonna run a PS2000 on the alfa)

there is nothing there - its 100% bare.. hence why i asked

f**k moving all those cars - would have taken ages, would have been a fun night however lol

mate STZ were amazing, car runs so sexy - marty and mic said if there are any dramas just pop in and they'll have a look

defs recommend them bro!

their s13 runs a 60.2 on QR Sprint track - go figure, that thing has the haltech in it (and an SR :3some:)

cant remember what turbo/power figure, but its definitely a very "tame" set up (not like high-octane racing for example)

give them a buzz fo-sho

dude lets buy it - hoists win!

but yes STZ ftw! should go down and chat to them, i was there for ages just chilling - great guys

I say we all chip in and make it an Apocalypse fortress :3some:

Keen for apocalypse fortress/ somewhere with a hoist. but John needs a job first :)

Martin i can chase down the original workshop manuals for the GTV.

Phantom has relocated over near moss street from memory, i wanted to take the RX7........

If someone wants to front the cash i'll setup a workshop there and mini skid track.

Also, concrete carparks in the wet are too easy

I have them on that disc. They are sh*thouse :thumbsup:

I did find the bit for adjusting suspension though. Height, Camber, Castor, Toe all adjustable on the front from factory :(. Looks like nothing adjustable on the rear :)

Build your own damn fort then.

Fine maybe I will...

Epic fog is epic :thumbsup:

Morning mang no fog here but it's pretty quiet on the way to work these days.

Morning to you fine gents

The fog's actually gotten worse since 6am...... go figure, usually it works the other way

Is it just me or are those roll over ads at the top a pain in the rectal area? :):thumbsup:

That's awesome. How much adjustability do you have though?

Could be that deadly fog that turns people inside out. I here it has been getting around again.

So true. But they have to make money somehow.

    • 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  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
