If people get negative about all this burnout stuff in the northern suburbs, They need to understand where else can you go these day's. They shut down Calder park because of health and safety. The government need to get more involved with car event's and the venues they hold them at. I am sure Bob Jane has closed Calder until November because of funds, I bet if he had more support it would open up faster. Myself goes to a lot of car events and to this illegal drags because that's all there is at the moment, plus it is great to watch the crowd get excited when some one pop's there tyres. So if the goverment doesnt help out where else do they expect people to go, Look at drifting here in australia they need more support aswell.

But they dont say this point's in the paper or on the new's they just show people who say dumb things.

SO GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAR CLUB.

You are beating the dead horse, mate.

However, vis a vis attending these events? Well, you're apparent civil disobedience not withstanding, they are dangerous and illegal for a reason.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You don't stick your cock in the glass and call it lemonade.

"SO GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAR CLUB."

How is a group of dickheads breaking dozens of laws and endangering lives a 'car club'? Its that type of 'theres no where else' attitude that leads to these problems. There are plenty of places. Talk to your Council. I live in Ballarat, and we have an airport that is reasonable and open to allowing people access to isolated parts of their land and runway. There is the Ballarat Light Car Club, which is incredibly cheap and has an autocross track, and which participates in hillclimb events and track days. etc.

no where else my freeking ass.

    • 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)
