R33 Gtr

[97/V-Spec]

Hi SAUers,

i have a few small issues with my gtr thats been bugging me. the engine is making a ticking noise which appears to be near the top end. it's very annoying and can be heard all the time. it doesn't sound that bad but still annoying. also when driving anything below 2500 revs. ticking can be heard. not ridiculously loud but very obvious anything below 3rd gear. noisy injectors? lifters? screwed crackshaft? dying valve?? timing?

heres an audio clip

97 r33 gtr

117,000 kms

Thanks

Look I'm not 100% sure but I also have a 97 series 3, and it sounds very similar to mine. As far as I know all GTRs are known for having a loud ticking sound coming from the injectors, this is normal. Maybe someone who knows more than me might say different, but I'd say its nothing to worry about.

^^ agreed with above

hi there. yeah initially i also thought it was normal among gtrs but at the same time was 100% so i just wanna check with other r33 owners.

anyone else can confirm this? if it's injector, would switching to aftermarket like nismo help remedy the tappet noise?

Nope, I have Nismo 555cc injectors and it makes the same noise. Although I have changed back to the standard injectors and I think they make a litttle more noise, but not by much.

its normal for rb26s. dont worry.
