Hi guys, hopefully someone will be able to lead me down the right path..

I have an rb20det, which is running all good, one big problem though, the lifters are noisy as F*&K, any ideas on how to replace or repair them on the cheaper side, been quoted over $100 each from nissan, with 24 lifters equates to nearly $2500. Don't really want to be spending that much just on lifters. Any help is greatly appreciated.

mine is rb25 but i went to nissan and told em to jam it. ended up coming good for me so havent chnged em but when i was looking i found aftermarket sets for 700ish. but have heard a few people say that if they are removed and the gunk cleaned off and re-fit normally quietens em down unless they have wear marks... detailed write up in the manual how to remove and re-fit if you have some tools and can grab a copy of the manual.

looks good. mine have been sitting in oil for a bit and was going to do them later but might follow that link and do them next weekend. but i thnk i will use contact cleaner and spray them down rather than the carby cleaner if it takes 2 hours and the basket only holds 1 lifter at a time.

Thats how you do it, the only thing i did differently is when bleeding them them instead of pouring oil into the lower lifter body making a bit of a mess and then trying to reasemble an oily lifter i reasssembled them dry and then put them in a flat tray upright and poured oil in until the tops were submerged. You'll see little bubbles start coming out of the cam lube hole on top of each one which means the oil is filling up the lifter, cover them over and leave it for about an hour untill the bubbles have stopped and once they have you can install them.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
