Hey

To add to Terrys post, if you are heading southbound on Third Avenue, take a left into Blacktown interchange (first left after you pass Carbon Car Systems). There is a roundabout you can use to get back to Third Avenue on the correct side. Don't U it, Blacktown police station is one intersection away.

I've never thought to do that, I usually turn right into Richmond Rd, then right again, do a u-turn, then loop back around. Your idea is much better.

Also if you're coming off the m4, take the reservoir rd exit and just follow it on to third ave and CCS is on the left

this is the plan.

hope traffic doesn't suck.

Hi Mate,

Will make a note to discuss kill switches for you and throw that in under security.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Gardener

Carbon Car Systems

Will there be any discussion about kill switches??

how to remember window tint % cause i have a memory like a sieve!

write it on a piece of paper and slide it into the little plastic slip on your sun visor.

I've got 3-4 sheets of paper in mine. its a good place for pieces of paper you don't use much, but all ways want in your car. (IE: fuse box map..in English )

    • 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  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
