Bought our 1997 25x S1 way back in 1999 with 74K on the clock (one of the first in NZ). Sold it last year with 176K on the clock and totally trouble-free from day one. Apart from normal maintenance, all she needed was a cambelt at 100K.

Replaced the S1 in 2010 with a 2006 M35 S2 250RX private import with 83K on the clock, now sitting on 97K. All good so far.

F N good to see all the stags out and about ! Adelaide has some real nice ones rolling around !

When I bought mine like 3.5 years ago I use to get shit from Holden and ford drivers left right and center hahah nothing has changed but when I pull up at the lights they look like they r paying so much attention to the green light all I can do is laugh haha ! Got more then a mouth full few weeks back from a VT SS driver with cam and penis extension driving back from from whoop whoop on a sunday Cruz with Missz n Dog on a 0 to 80 traffic light.. Light turns green .. He stalled it ahahaha was changing cd and had no intention of "dragging" him but god only if I had it to put on u tube ahaha I laughed all the way home lmao

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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?
