thanks for organising it mate :D was fun... just gotta try and meet some ppl next time.

I was wondering when we went through mornington why no one was hanging out on the street watching... cos we were there about 20 mins before everyone else..

we certainly put on a show in frankston. I know when we did a u turn at the lights that all of the cars that made it through really hung it out... to the delight of on lookers :P

Yeah i saw your car but didn't see you walking about at the meeting points.

Ula32's car was a monster, Ula32 you know why?? (R34 ring a bell)

glad that everyone enjoyed the cruise hopefully next time, the club will be all organised and and have a local one, for you guys.

yah that was me :D

we gotta meet up again in the day or something as i got to the pits late and it was dark so it was hard finding anyone there. the next meeting point was cool (except for cops) and i got to meet up with the mine's gtr and we stuck with him the whole night heh.

yeah, I was in front in silver series II r33 followed by the mines gtr then the wide guard silvia, then you must've been behind them cause i think there were a couple more skylines behind them.

I'm the guy that was next to the mines gtr when we stopped incorrectly on the last meeting point then went to the correct one.

I was in a group of skylines from the frankston stop untill close to arthurs seat....Who were you guys?? we were stuck behind some guy towing a boat on a 1 lane road for a bit....and we stopped at BP. That was quiet a nice cruise up...I was astonished at the speed of a purple GTR that was with us...O M G, respect!

I would just like to say a big thank you to the organisers (Mznizmo and skyline33!!) for such an awesome cruise, my first one and it couldn't of been better. Loved it!

I was Gardo's passenger and that run with the Skylines was awesome, what a mad site it was seeing all those skylines and all great guys too! That purple GT-R was crazy! He planted it in front of us and just ran away soooo fast.... wicked! :P

When we told my brother about the cruise he was pissed he didn't come, and especially when he saw that there we're a few R31's he wouldn't of felt so alone lol! As he has a 31. :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)

      AC not coming from top vents

      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).
