Hopefully not a repost..

Starts at about 4 min.

"Intrigued to say the least, he was just sleeping lol. Then woke to find windows covered and people shouting . Probably another crazy game show"

"My Wife just translated it for me.

The police noticed the car parked suspiciously, so they did a number plate check. The Number plate was reported stolen, so they took a look inside. The guy sleeping inside was identified as someone wanted (maybe for murder, but my wife wasn't sure). Supposedly he had a rep for being violent, so they performed the unusual ritual on the car while he was asleep."

Reminded me of one of those Steve Erwin jobs where he wakes up a sleeping Crocodile just to jump on it and try and wrestle the thing into a truck..gotta admit this guy has some balls if not brains..

oh and why did the cops not just break into the boot or similar and disconnect the battery etc? im not much of a mechanic but surely there would be a way to disable the thing from the outside?

yeah that last minute or so was quite painful to watch, he must have been having a nice old slumber before being woken up by half of Tokyo's finest. wonder if the owner would bother getting it fixed or just throw it to the auction houses?

those cops are seriously retarded. even after all the stupid stop sticks and barriers and then a van and a bus he still nearly got away. they put the bus in front of him but the van was meters behind giving him a good run up which put his life and theirs in danger and if he'd been able to see which way to turn chances are he would ahve gotten out without a good launch in the right direction.

instead of fking about with all that crap all they had to do was put the van right on the rear bumper and the bus right on the front bumper then kick in the window and haul him out. but no, they'd much rather call in 20 cops, 5 vehicles and spend an hour or two pissing about.

I did like that typical japanese he's braking the law but still put his left indicator on to exit the curb... lol.

    • 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  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
