Hello i recently purchased this vehicle with a rb25det neo (4wd motor with gtr pull type clutch)that has a knocking/ticking sound. I got it at a good price and drove it home 6hours.

 

The old owner who was an elderly person said the car sat for 3 years and was only started once in a blue moon, during that time it was said the sound occurred. 

 

The best way i can describe it is when you start the car for the first time in the day there is a louder knocking sound which then quitens slightly after 2 seconds and continues making that knock noise no matter the engine temperature. It also doesnt seem to change under load and only gets faster with revs. It sound like it is comeing from the rear of motor.

Also when turning the engine over by hand it gets to a point where it is hard to turn over. I h

ave added new hpr 10 oil and mbl8 to no change. 

I have it booked in somewhere but it is hard to find a place what wants to try diagnose it without stripping down the engine. I just cant do that right now.

 

Any answers and advice appreciated.

 

Thanks 

Cameron

Don't buy f**ked car if you can't identify the fault and fix it yourself. At the very least you need to have an idea of the cost of fixing it.

You wasted money on the oil change, so that was a bad start.

 

What did tthink was wrong with iI when you bought it?

Lifters i thought drove it 1000ks home.

Noise hasnt changed oil is clean

I strongly doubt the oil is clean. if you drop it there will be sparkles of copper all through the bottom of the drain tray.

I've very confident the bottom end needs a rebuild to replace the spun big end bearing, measure for any other damage (eg rod), cleaned thoroughly and reassembled

Lifters will be more of a tap tap noise, doesn't have as much of a "chunky" tap if you get me. That's bottom end knock on your engine 100%. As Duncan is saying, pull the oil pan off it will look like there's glitter sprinkled in there, check the drain plug too. Ask me how I know...(not on an RB though).

Hi everyone i dropped the oil i couldnt see any copper sparkles or anything in the drain tray but i tapped the oil filter and some sort of fine white almost cloudy specs where in the comminng out of the filter maybe thsts normal i dont know

Yep, because it needs a rebuild.

Yes i have been driving it for the last two weeks and who knows how long the old owner drove it makeing that noise.

 I was also referring to you driving home 1000km in 6hr

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
