Good to hear mate you can relax now 😮💨

@Dave G hi mate have you tried unplugging the evap purge solenoid yet? Just out of curiosity to rule it out. Fingers crossed and touch wood it’s nothing serious! I had a few restless nights thinking about all the expensive things that it could be 🫠. I used to use Fuchs titan race pro a 5w40 , seemed to dull down any tappity noises . Maybe worth a try !

Hi mate
I changed my oil to Fuchs titan race pro s 5w40 (I’m sure, will check later and confirm the weight) and this seemed to dull the noise down. I know the evap solenois which sits at the back of the engine drivers side can be noisy! I replaced this but turns out they are just noisy at times, I also replaces the vvt valve incase it wasn’t forwarding the timing correctly but this made no difference. I suggest having a listen / feel of the purge solenoid while it’s running , too see if that’s similar to the noise your experiencing. Then turn the car off and remove the electrical connection on the valve and re start the car which will remove the ticking from the solenoid. This might be what your ears have just tuned into and once you hear it you can’t un-hear it.
The titan race oil is ester oil which is recommended for these, I know some dealerships don’t bother and just use cheapest of the cheap so maybe a new oil And filter to be on the safe side.
on another note I’m probably 10,000 miles if not more after that post and “touch wood”
seems to be fine

Thought it would be better to revive an old thread than start a new one for the same thing...
These suitable for a quick pre winter oil change ?

I boycotted the dealership and have since went to a garage in my area well known for Japanese servicing, repair and tuning . He recommended Fuchs 5w40 race pro for the z’s. Don’t know if anyone will back it up over the 5w30 but can see who else replies . As for the the filter I can’t comment , I used a genuine one.

Changed the valve and it’s still ticking but It was never noticeable beforehand
-
Yea it’s quite noticeable when driving close to a wall or past cars. and as far as I know it diverts the vapours from the fuel tank into the canister or into the cylinder to be burnt off, there’s probably a more in depth description but that’s just my rough knowledge of it. Trying to see if anyone has changed it and if it has gotten any quieter , I know it never used to be this loud.

Did the replacement dull the noise down? I’ve got the same on an 18 plate 18k
-
Update:-
I followed the ticking to the evap purge solenoid , unplugged it and the ticking stopped so that’s hopefully the only out of tune ticking i hear. are these always mega noisy or does replacement quiet them
down

I just had my 18 plate nismo serviced at Nissan and they used quartz 5w30 , I’ve started to hear knock since that service 500 miles ago, anyone ever had experience of quartz 5w30 and are dealers not ment to use ester 5w30

Does it happen at specific rpm? Not sure if this affects 370s as well, but I know there was an issue with the cooling system on 350s that caused ticking at around 3500rpm. If that's it then the solution is flushing the system. E.g. this thread.
Any way I can upload or shred a video

Not that I have noticed, doesn’t seem to be a specific Rpm, as soon as I touch the accelerator when idle it starts ticking and gets louder the higher rpms I go
It happens Clutch in or clutch out incase it helps

I’ve recently started hearing a ticking noise when pressing the accelerator both moving and stationary, I’ve narrowed the noise down to behind the engine on the back end of it, it’s only just started the past day or two and it’s only when the revs are increased from Idle, I’m swaying towards fuel damper but looking for some other suggestions .
Thankswill upload video or pictures when I can

I will get some Pictures this weekend then when I’m home before it’s dark and I’ve had a chance to give them a clean and I will send you them, see if your interested . Would

Did you just sell them in eBay or a forum?

Thanks guys didn’t realise my post had went live as I was waiting in my account registration being confirmed. That’s roughly about what I was thinking they go for, that’s plenty to get the wheels in after aswell and I will take the tpm’s out prior to sellin them then.

I’m wondering what the v2 nismo wheels actually sell for, I know what they are new and what people list them for but what do they realistically go for. I have mines newly refurbed in black copper but I’m looking to sell them and get some jr3’s

P.S I probably wouldn’t bother changing it , they are noisy even when new you’ve probably just tuned your ears into it or heard it as you’ve drive by a wall. Can change it if you please though see if it’s a little less noisy, they don’t cost much If I remember correctly .
