Hanaldo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 If I'm not mistaken, RB25DET Neo's also have solid lifters but my car does not have any ticking sounds. I've been around plenty of GTR's and never heard any ticking... On the other hand, my mate just got his R32 GTST back from an engine swap and the new RB25 has a noisy lifter that needs to be replaced, the car sounds like a truck at idle, very annoying sound.

r32-25t Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 the injectors on a gtr are noiser then on a gtt a gtr should have that nice sewing machine sound when you have your head under the bonnet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336914-just-picked-up-a-33-gtr-from-the-auctions/page/2/#findComment-5449609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnorky Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 So the lifters are stuffed ? Should have them replaced or rebuild the head ?

R31Nismoid Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Rebuilding the head... what are you on about? Take it to a decent performance workshop.

r32-25t Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I agree with nismoid take it to a workshop Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336914-just-picked-up-a-33-gtr-from-the-auctions/page/2/#findComment-5450133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostdR Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Vibration can be gearbox input shaft related. Mine does the same thing. I assume my spiggot bush is the problem. I plan on changing it when I do the clutch next. Not to much of an issue.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 i would definitely suggest rebuilding the head because some people on a forum that have never seen the car have managed to diagnose the problem from your vague description... don't bother getting it checked out.... just start rebuilding Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336914-just-picked-up-a-33-gtr-from-the-auctions/page/2/#findComment-5458464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontfeelcold Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm putting my money on a dud gearbox bearing. Does the noise do away if you push the clutch in? Lol at head rebuild.

FYI.. r34 neo heads have a valve clearance of 0.20mm on both inlet and exhaust rb26 cyl heads have valve clearance of 0.38-0.45 cant remember exactly.. basically double, that is y neo heads r not as ticky as 26 heads even though both have solid lifters, mine is very slightly ticky, depends on oil thickness but its completely normal on the 26's... this thread is funny haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336914-just-picked-up-a-33-gtr-from-the-auctions/page/2/#findComment-5459344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN00H Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 sold cheeply at auction... I'm betting big end bearing why the guy has not taken it to a decent workshop baffles me!?!?
