ok heres the story

yesterday i started my car and on idle it started making this ticking noise.

The noise was loud enough to bring my parents out to enquire.

i've done some searching thru the forums and all i can come up with is tappets or injectors.

heres the thing would it just happen one day?

the noise is related to revs.

and sounds like the car was just cold but is like 10 times louder than normal, and stays around when warm.

any ideas?

ok, well i checked the oil yesterday and today, both times it looks fine.

oil gauge is normal.

i might take it to a mechanic today and see what they say.

the weird thing is once you get to a rev range say 4000, and just ignore the sound it goes away slightly. dunno if that makes sense.

Could be an exhaust leak. You haven't said exactly what it sounds like. Even though exhaust "ticking" noise sounds nothing like tappets or injectors, it's still a ticking type noise.

siksII, two points for you, i didn't drive it for 3 days :). I feel rather stupid, i took it for a nice drive, gave it a bit now she sounds nice. No more noise etc.

I didn't think that leaving the car for a couple of days could do something like that, oh well, now i know.

thanks for the swift replies everyone.

lol *yay*

its scary how noisy it can get sometimes.. i normally dont drive the car for at least 3-4 days at a time, and i dont find it noisy, so i must be used to it!

but once, after doing some work to the car over 3 weeks, we turned it on and it was SO loud, i was scared it would not go away...

a good drive made the noises dissapear within an hour :)

      RB25DET S1 Into R32 GTS-T Assistance Required!!!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      This is a simple swap when you reuse the RB20 loom and auxiliaries. I run a standalone, but if I remember right, using the RB25 ecu you only have 2 injectors to inverse.  There are many DIY's on this subject online, including this forum.

      Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.

      Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.

      -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW

      I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".
