[P90A head ticking what to do?]

Oh tried that too

[I finished my RB26 240Z]

HOLY CA CA POO POO ...

 

SUPERB car man... im jealous.. wowza

[very tempting 16 x 7]

why do they come out with these like 7 days after i get my wheels!! AAAGGHHHH!!!

 

so frustrating.. I loved the rewinds but wanted em larger

[P90A head ticking what to do?]

DO NOT USE THICKER OIL...

 

I went from 10w-30 to 20w-50 and it was awful.. the ticking was about 100 times worse...

 

 

I didnt take mine apart.. but i soaked them in brake fluid cleaner.. didnt work.. so you need to tear them apart..

 

OR spend $36 and grab some solid lifters and rocker arms from any solid head.

 

I just bought a P90 so i could steal the solid lifters from it.. and then sell the head.

 

But seriously.. ticked on start up on cold days.... when the engine warms up and im sitting at a stop light TICK TICK TICK TICK... I even tried automatic transmission fluid for 2 days... nothing..

 

 

BTW - you DO NOT NEED to loosen the camshaft bolts...

 

since 1/2 of the camshaft tower bolts are the HEADBOLTS!

 

I simply used a large flat head screwdriver.. and held the valve open and popped the rocker arm off. Then I unscrewed the lifter and it came right out.. took about an hour to pull and install the rockers and lifters total. So 30 min each way... I soaked them in fluid for 2 hours.

[Mounted my Sport Max 002 wheels and 225's on.. mmm]

posted some new pics for ya guys

[Best brake upgrade for the buck?]

ahh! i thought i was moving pretty damn fast!

 

big 2 corners were braking from 115mph to 90mph around a LONG sweeping left turn .. and then a 120mph stretch down to 60mph on a double apex

 

 

interesting..

[Best brake upgrade for the buck?]

umm DOT4 fluid and some carbon/kevlar brake pads or semi metallic..

 

my Porterfield RS4 pads are awsome.. stood up to 5 (20min) track sessions

[Which spoiler works best?]

i LOVE those ugly little vortex generators...

 

I will actually try them out for you guys... I have a BRE wing..so i'll throw those on....

 

 

Here's a neat little test I can do... open the sunroof.. or attach a large smokebomb on the roof..and drive along side a buddy .. who will take pictures...

 

 

I have soo many smoke bombs its not even funny ... might be a good way to observe the flow over the hatch...i would put one on the hood but um.. obviously.. i wouldnt be able to see.. no bueno

 

Ill order some in next week
