On Wednesday the 28th of January Initial Drift will be conducting its first ever official drift event which will be a drift demonstration/membership promotion held at the Eastern Creek Raceway drift circuit.

DETAILS

Location: Eastern Creek Raceway (Dry Drift Circuit)

Date: Wednesday 28th, Janurary 2004

Time: 5pm-9pm

Admission: Free

On demonstration at this event will be an array of drivers ranging in skill from beginners right through to advanced and featuring an array of both stock and modified vehicles. This will provide an excellent opportunity for those new to the sport to witness it first hand (and free ).

In addition, this event will not only serve as a drift demonstration but also promote the club and its activities for potential members. It will also provide an invaluable opportunity to meet other members of the forum and those working behind the scenes.

Membership information will also be available on the evening along with refreshments.

If all that is not enough for you Eastern Creek is having a "Run What You Brung" event on the main track so you can run a few hot laps should you feel the need (yes the need for speed).

Hope to see you all there!

Yes it should be a great night out, and will hopefully get more recognition for the sport of drifting in Australia.

It's free to come along and watch so all welcome and we will have membership information available for people to check out.

      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?
