So im not sure if we actually have a monthly set cruise for sauwa...

But as i went on a silviawa cruise last night i figured why dont we do a monthly cruise aswell...

I figured maybe we could have it the first monday of every month or something..

Never many cruises during the week and most people are usually busy on weekends.. so yeah...

Whos keen? Or is there already something like this..?

Let me know n shit =)

**Note this will only be for skylines not imports like our other cruises..**

:D

I'll be be up for that! I've heard about the SilviaWA one and how well it works. Instead of you two doing all the work, maybe a small group who can plan, write and practice the cruises each month? I'd be willing to help out if you wanted.

yeah thats sounds good to me =]

if you have msn send me your hotmail and well organise it more

pm if you guys are interested in becoming a team member ie organising n shit =]

While you're away Olivia, CJ, Tobin and I thought we'd try and hold the fort by organising a cruise for the 19/20th. About to post initially about it now =] Since you're kinda cheif of those sorta things are you cool with that?

Reckon that one way to possibly thwart idiots dragging their ford/holden yobbo's along to cruises is to either grab numbers of the members who actually want to participate in the cruise and send out mass SMS say an hour before an agreed meet time for the cruise as to where it is. NOT posting the route on the forum and ONLY handing out maps to people who are the owners/drivers of their skyline. Either that or seeing as SMS is not very economically viable for the person organizing it unless they have a plan with an unlimited SMS cap, send out private forum mail messages an hour or 2 before the meet time. But either way, the day should be set in advance of course, then people just have to wait to hear where to head to as the meet point.

I run the SilviaWA cruise every month and we only ever have 1 or 2 non Silvia's show up and they are normally members off the forums anyways.

Never had just randoms in commodores show up since i have been running them.

I think its a awesome idea for SAU to run monthly cruises :)

    • 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)
