Hetes a couple of pics from the inspection point of my  04 350gt , all seems good in there ? Maybe im wrong but the guide doesnt seem to be broken or slipped down? Im guessing the small knock on idle is either a lifter or fuel damper, im going to run some thicker oil, if it stops the noise obvioisly its the lifter?

Can i get opinions on the tensioner it seems fine to me

Sorry, no idea about the tensioner.  I am dreading the day I need to do a tensioner or water pump on either of my VQs.

I have had the a noisy fuel damper and it was a constant knocking sound that changes with engine RPM, not just at startup, so if that is what you have, it might be the damper, hold onto the fuel hose on the right side of the engine while it is idling, if you can feel it pulsing in time with the knock, this is probably where the problem is.

Tensioner looks alright and its about half way out from my experience. 

Small knock at idle is not tensioner none of 3 and more likely it is the main chain that makes that noise which becomes louder around 2200 RPM 

I have changed all internals myself, all 3 chains, main tensioner, pump, VDCs etc

 

There is no need to use thicker engine oil stick with OEM Nissan 5w-35 Fully Synthetic

All those well known issues with main chains noises and VDCs are caused of exesive use of mineral engine oils back in Japan

"Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
