ok, excuse me for sounding f**kING PISSED OFF during this post!!

After many months of my motor rebuild they finally started it today..

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN!!

I havent heard it myself but the descripting i was givin was "It sounds like a train, like there is a block of metal inside a cyclinder"

Does anybody know what this noise could be?????

ps. No I wont be paying a single cent for the rebuild.

pps. The description of the noise was from the guys that put the motor in, not from the wankers that built it!

HELP please.... I want to know which mechanic to knock out!

Engine specs:

Arias 86.5Mil pistons

rev rods

33 gtr crank

acl race bearings

tomie poncams 9mil lift

umm.. i havent heard it myself but from the description, its more of a deeper noise.. but i will have to check...

i just called somebody else and was told to check oil pressure, head clearences, and timing (set to base- 15deg)

car also has stock injectors, splitfire coilpacks and new spark plugs

well the builders have already snapped my tomei inlet cam before, (i had to buy a new one) so the guys with the motor are now checking that they havent snapped it again.

no matter how big or small the problem is, it will be going to another engine builder... probly gavin woods. or somebody with a very good rep.

what sux the most is i have now missed out on buying a home cuz i cant sell my car for the loan..

so it runs????

You need a more specific explanation for anyone to take a real educated guess at what it could be!!! As Troy said its a simple piston engine same design as a holden six in principle it wont be anything someone with an idea shouldnt be able to diagnose in a few seconds!!!

we can all sit here and guess all day and no-one will know the correct answer without taking a guess and you spending the $$$ to find out anyhow.

best bet, take the car back and get it looked at by a professional as no-one here can tell you without seeing the car

the noise is slowely going away... and everything is fine...

im not sure what it is as im not a mechanic.. but its getting quieter now, and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it...

wonder what the noise was? any ideas?

its just a little lumpier because of the cams.

i have been told to pick it up tomorrow, he just wants to make sure everything is tight again, and tripple check everything before it goes....

I have to wonder why you picked people to work on your car who seemingly have NFI what they are doing.

I find these finger pointing type threads quite amusing, especially the ones where said accuser ends up looking like an asshat.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      By juanX · Posted

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
