Hey!

Im new at the forums.

So my friend is going to buy a skyline and the tail lights are not similar to my R33 GTR or the other R33s out there can you just buy normal taillights and change them?

What should we exactly do?

These are the ligths (just an exampel)

Thank you!

Ewwww... They are some sort of aids i believe..

If he owns that car/plans on buying it.. Lock it in a garage so no one can see.. Then you need to pour holy water over them and chant some holy shit.. then burn them.. Then just find a R33 GTR tail lights from wreckers, forum members selling, etc.. Replace..

It just looks like they moded the original housing so souldnt have changed plugs or anything..

wow.. that is absolutely disgusting.. i vomitted a little.. It appears that GTR got infected with gangrene or something similar.. definitely take them out and burn them.. perhaps even offer the previous owner as a sacrifice to the gods as the car may carry some kind of curse..

but yeh, wreckers, forums in wanted to buy section etc etc..

Yea i know they are the worst ive ever seen, Is it hard to change the tail lights? and do i need to repaint something? Beacuse i know a Swedish dealer (i live in sweden) that sells R33 LED Tail lights but they dont have the cover ( if you know what i mean ) Where can i buy that?

the cover is what looks to be modified.. they are easy to get out/install.. simple screws undo from inside the boot.. unplug wires.. lights are out..

cover should unscrew from the back of the lights..

      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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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?
