Stolen! Enkei Rpf1 / Greddy Gauges & Plenum / Ss Ex Manifold


Recommended Posts

This afternoon I get a call from a good mate of mine asking to keep my ear to the ground as someone tried to pinch his R33 from his backyard in Regents Park.

Thankfully they didn't take the car but they decided to help themselves to other items at his residence.

Some of you that have been to JDMST meets will know the car and comment "f**k that's low"

Anyway the list of stuff missing is as follows

- Enkei RPF1 in Shadow Black Chrome, fronts are 17x9.5 +15 and the rears are 18x10.5 with Bridgestone RE001 Adrenalin and Nankang Ultra Sport NSII tyres.

- 3 Greddy gauges, Black face, white numbering, Oil pressure, Oil temp, water temp, with senders. Very Old style, mechanical, All just been reconditioned. Look like new.

- Stainless steel RB25DET high mount exhaust manifold. T4 flange with prevision for wastegate. Brand new.

- Genuine Greddy Foward facing plenum for R33 RB25DETwith 100mm throttle body. Has Greddy badge on it and has been polished.

Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that these wheels will stand out like a sore thumb so the sensible thing would be for them to be returned as whoever has these, will not be able to drive on them in public. If you have them / know where they are, shoot me a PM organize them to be returned and no more will be said.

Pics for those who don't know what it looks like -

    • 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!
    • 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?
