Yeah saw that car today. Very very tasty 32!! Love the rollcage in it. If the guy is on this forum nice work mate!!!!!

spotted a white (i think, man my memory sux...) 33 with black bonnet near the northern beaches on saturday, plate NVE 33T, had a chat while driving, seemed like a nice bloke :ninja:

saw a 32 down a side street, plates were BAL 54G (Ball Sag) I think (nother memory glitch)

and numerous others along the beaches... one that looked like chubbs' car, another white one etc etc...

Drew, were you driving around Epping about 40 minutes ago??

Yep, just getting back from carlo court with my kfc... after going to parramatta to source price on lower control arm bush, which nissan now tells me i have to replace the whole god damn lower control arm as the bushes are not sold seperately same thing every suspension place i've rung so far has told me so instead of $110 (2 bushes) jobbie its now $330 for one whole control arm.

Will check them out. Thanks.

I spotted a blue 32 very VERY similar to ours on Gympie road in Windsor (QLD) this afternoon. NSW plates my322 or sumsing like that! I thought if you were just visiting i'd let you know you were spotted :)

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • 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?
