Hi all, i finally bought myself a R33 GTR and got it back down here to melbourne, now i really need to get it on a dyno and tuned properly, where would you guys recommend that's both fairly priced and knows their rb26's?

I'm also looking at getting the plastic surrounding the dash wrapped in leather or replaced for carbon fibre (it's a little scratched up and looks out of place compared to the rest of the car which is mint).

Any help would be appreciated!

He has years of experience with RB26's, we know a few happy customers of his.

Thats our Supercharged Honda S2000 on top of his page that he did for us the other day........drives beautifully and goes hard......

For GT-R's and RB26 here is the only place to go, they will also be able to fix any issues that arise while tuning and tell you if the car is on the money so to speak.

Thanks guys, i'm gonna go with racepace i think.

Does anyone know a place that can get plastic wrapped in carbon fibre (with the bath they do in the water to give it a layer) as my plastic around the dash is all scratched up and the only really shitty thing about the interior.

+1 to racepace.

car gets better and better every time it goes there

Racepace for me as well.

RPM have looked after my car. Not sure if I have gotten worse and worse but my car is definitely getting better and better.

10 year long (and happy) customer of Racepace here.

Given you're usually the instigator, long as you don't, it should be fine? :D

Just making sure you know that Racepace is where to go for a tune :D

      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

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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).
