Ha ha- well, after checking out the "fragrance fairies" (i kid you not) on offer at SuperCheap the other day, I'm sold!

My vote - I'd be happy to pay for a new car with leather interior smell : )

Not to mention helping a fellow SAU-er get a business going!

Those clip things here in perth are $4.50 from Kmart! they are by far the best. You get 4 per pack and I only use 2 on my vents at a time on the middle ones lasts about 2 months then use the other 2 for another two months! i buy them in black so you can barely even notice them..... so my car smell nice without some peace lovin hippy tree thingy floating around in plastic bashing the crap out of the plastic and giving me headaches....

clips are my favourite!

those ambi pure are $6 from Kmart.... Perth.... the home of cheap smelly stuff :-)

I love my Shell Lavender car deodoriser... its about 5 bucks, but goddamn it gets rid of any smell possible, comes in a vaporiser bottle (not one of those ugly things you hang on your vents which eventually breaks it), and smells awesome.

You got no option for "I like what I have and will take something that shoots fireworks and butterflies when I spray it to make me change"

I would never use an air freshener because of allergies (eye's water, cant see the road etc) but i reckon there'd be a huge market for smell neutralisers because even when i'm in a position to import a car from japan, one thing that's really putting me off the idea is getting stuck with an interior that smells of smoke, which i cannot stand...........and considering that the Japanese are some of the heaviest smokers in the world, i cant imagine the chances are that slim.

there must be a market for a oder killer product in the jap import market..........i'd definatly pay for a top shelf one that did the job if i needed it.

i used Febreeze every now and then in my r33 gtst (sold) to keep it fresh and an excellent odour/bacteria killer. Don't like air fresheners or such as it would leave a lingering smell. Now I got a Magna with leather interiors,but would still used it on the carpets and other fabrics parts.

    • 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)
