Hey everyone,

I have a series 1 r33 that I'd like to part with. It's been sitting in the garage since May 2012 when the rego ran out. I had another car. My plan was to fix all the little dents with new panels which I have sourced and mostly done and eventually re-rego it at the end of the year but being a mature age uni student/full time worker/dad has gotten in the way and I'm sort of over it. The odometer reads 148,881 and the engine is stock and I remember the lifters being a bit noisy but apart from that it was strong. Clutch will need replacing but gearbox is awesome along with shockers, diff etc. I never did the 100,000 km service, because I was young, stupid and had no money (please don't lecture me). It's never hit a valve or anything though. Never blew oil, white smoke, never dropped water or oil. Really good car to me. Has a hole cut for front mount but shouldn't be a problem for RWC because no airbag sensors. The photos show the car with 18" wheels, it will be sold with the stock wheels and no exhaust from the cat, as I don't own the exhaust. There remains one dent and paint chip on rear left quarter panel where some idiot backed into it and drove off. The photos show no door on the drivers side but I have a new one and will reassemble before handover.

No rego obviously it'll have to be towed or driven on UVP.

I dont know what to ask for it, I've sourced and spent $2,000 on new parts in last 12 months. Have genuine Nissan water pump and timing belt to go with it.

$5,000- throw me an offer. Car is located Frankston South

    • 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)
