i was on my way home from sydney, just after lunch, and the amount of cars broken down on the side of the freeway was quite amusing !!

the line up of cars going into macca's at fairy meadow (off the freeway) was incredible, i was going to go in for a look but this turned me off a bit. :(

I was down in the gong for a 21st on sat so checked it all out on sunday. The cops i would have to say were pretty good. the only time people seemed to get hassled was when they did a stupidly big burnout which is pretty understandable. Some very nice cars there as well and a good mix of v8's and jap imports.

I was suprised jap imports turned up. Because in the last 8 supercruises where mostly v8s and classics.

and the police were quite nice yesterday. They were pretty friendly to us. Through out the whole day I only saw one white beema get pulled over on the way home. (And he was right behind me)

pretty cool day as always :):) At the correct destination there was little Police attention as the crowd just hung out and looked over peoples rides, had a chat what ever you wanetd to do. Was great to not have the Police attention for once :):D

was great to see all the fools who are into burnouts go to the lighthouse and not the proper destination this year :D:D There were pics of fools posted everywhere on fast Fours forum doing burnouts which isnt imrpessive, but i guess you get that dont you. Hopefully thr Police will see tham and pay the culprits a visit :D:D I just hope it doesnt risk the success of the cruise for next year :(:(

As always the usual show of GT's, Monaro's and tough V8's which was awesome. Cant wait for next years cruise now.

:burnout:

tell me about it! once the cops get a gist of what has been going on, not only will they impound the cars in the photos doing burnouts but also will prevent anymore of these cruises in the future. it just pisses me off to no end that on this one day that guys in hot cars get a chance to relax on the road without worrying about weather theres a cop waiting to defect them, and idiots in clapped out "commonwhores" destroying it for everyone!

end rant :)

Goon, i live in wollongong and the reading about it in the paper suggests that the police were very happy about how the supercruise went, they said that a couple people people doing burnouts spoilt it a bit, but otherwise they were happy that everything went smoothly and just about everyone was well behaved. the only thing they didnt expect was so many cars. So nothings suggests that the police will not allow another supercruise and stuff like that. Anyway, i hope the same amount of people turn up again next year and have a good time in a responsible, and safe manner as i was at work at anzac day and missed out...

      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

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      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?
