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.

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 :)

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
