A mate of mine has a RB30 turbo the motor goes well doesnt blow smoke etc,but when the noise of the clutch fan stops you hear a noise when revving between 1500-2500 approx. a noise like a cross between big end rattle and noisy lifters,if you keep constant revs 2500 noise stays the same ,but on idle you cant hear anything ,motor sounds OK any ideas????

Does the noise stop when the car warms up, or will it do it all day? I have a similar sounding noise in my 33 but by the time I get anywhere to show anyone the car is warm and it doesn't do it anymore.

mine does the same as you R3AP3R, its just the hydrolic lifters

Yeah, mine's a weird problem. The noise stops and starts depending on throttle position (and even that varies). I can be maintaining say 2000 rpm in 2nd and it will make this noise, if I back off the throttle completely it may stop, or if I slightly increase throttle it may stop. Then it may stop and start at various times again depending on how I'm driving. After a few minutes (and it seems to be lasting longer over time) it will stop completely. I'm assuming this is because something has warmed up sufficiently.

I would have thought lifters would have been a constant ticking who's frequency would vary with revs, but be continual until it got warm.

It doesn't seem to cause any performance problems, it just sounds like crap and is embarrasing.

Don't mean to take over this thread, but I think we may be having similar issues.

they dont cause any performance problem for me etheir, the main reason i want to fix it is because it is embarrasing (most people dont notice though because they are rather quiet, only loud when i first start the engine when it cold)

those of you with lifter noises, have you tried a different oil?

I have a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 so I KNOW about Lifter noise.

Mine has reduced heaps when I changed to Motul 4100 TurboLight oil.

Cost = $39.95 for 5L

I bought mine from Autojoy at Burwood Westfields.

It is fully synthetic, and seems to be heaps cheaper than other synthetics I'ev seen/used.

It might be worth a try for you guys too.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
