It's driving me insane
I don't think I could hate it any more then I do and at this stage !!
What are my options ? I know I can just replace the sprocket with a new one but that's boring and then it's just a waiting game for the poxy noise to come back...
I've a ~300hp+ S14a, she's currently at stage 3 and have always taught about possibly upgrading the cams and maybe getting it mapped with no VVT at all... I assume this would shut the sprocket up once and for all ? Only thing about that is, I don't have a clue what cams to go for, what other parts I need etc etc etc...
Can anyone help me out and maybe point me in the direction as to what I should be looking at buying ? Is there any other way to shut the rattle up ?
Thanks

I didn't know that... I was told before that it was a massive job and considering the cost/time it would take I would nearly have been better swapping out my blacktop VVT for a black/redtop non-VVT
Sweet, I'll have to find a 'how to' guide !

Can anyone help out/advise on this...
Going by the last few comments I'm now looking for a replacement sprocket.. ill also happily pay someone to do the job (any suggestions?) as i can't find a how to guide anywhere... I'd usually have no problem trying something first but i don't have a clue where to even start with this...
Thanks.

my n/a s15 rattels, but only sometimes, if i drive it, turn it off, and start again it rattles mad,
i put foot on clutch and in gear, still rattels, i reversed it back revving it up a bit and it stopped,
from reading old threads is it the vvt thing i need to replace to shut it up?
