So its been a couple of 100 k's so i thought id post my final thoughts.. still running it in the original location.. no problems holding boost to redline now. i must say i am in LOVE! this has totally transformed the car! the thing is so much fun now! it must have taken a little while for the computer to learn though it is so nice to drive with plenty of grunt!

I highly recommend this 2 minute mod to anyone still running the factory boost controller. and no error at all for not having it plugged in.

Do the M35's have a "Solenoid valve control system (common on Nissan and Mitsubishi vehicles)"? (As per: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=15262)

I really want to get my I-color installed tonight, just can't get my head around this shit. :stupid:

Slightly out of my depth here; but I would say so.

There is a stock solenoid that takes in a boost line (comes off a T) and then plumbs back into the intake behind the AFM. IMPUL gave me a nice hand drawn diagram of this (their suggestion to me was to bypass the solenoid – thus the reason for the diagram) but if you’re not sure where the lines are then this should make it reasonably clear. Ive removed the unnecessary Japanese text and arrows in the diagram. Its drawn from the perspective of standing on the passenger side looking down (birds eye view) at the engine. Far left hand side is thus the front of the car – the box at the bottom is the air filter box etc.

Tried to keep it all looking fairly factory so I kept the T piece. Confident that the other Blitz Valve Unit is setup right, just wanted to check that these lines are ok. (Will be putting them under all the cabling after, just had them up top for the photo)

Apologies for the shit photo. I have a crap phone and a not so steady hand.

    • 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!
    • 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?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
