Ok, let me get this straight,, did they pull u over and say " you lights are too bright, we gonna impound your car" lol. Thats pretty unlikely. I think thay can only impoud cars for hoon behaviour and drink driving etc..

But anyway, they worst they could have given you for your lights is a defect. were you doing something u weren't meant to be doing?

i finish work at about 11pm at night and wanted to grab a bite... soo i was buggered soo there was no hooning

they wanted to pin me for my carbon fibre bonnet but then i showed them my permits for me mods..then they went quiet then talked about my hid..

they warned me about the lights get then changed or will issue a licky and not only that will put it on a tow truck they knew where i worked and they said we will wait for u to pull out of work and then pin you if u still have them on... thats the truth

does anyone know where i can get information about impounding ur car is it onli for hooning?

Regardless of whether you aggravating them or 'them' having a bad day n on a power trip id probably grab some standard globes because you dont wanna push things further and find out if they will enforce the law as 'they' see fit.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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)
