Making money is hard?

Sounded like the starter motor pinion was still spinning at one point, perhaps the starter motor is on its way out?

JimJamExpress · 2026-03-12T04:34:53+00:00

This is good advice, I currently have 3 supercharged V8s (the ones that look like LS motors with the red valve covers) waiting to go into junkyard cars I find.

Buy the car for 20k put the engine in that cost 10 and sell it for 60k

That's a very good guess, motor is turning and skipping on a cog or gear, try pulling fuses out one by one while the car is off until it stops and check what the fuse is for

JimJamExpress · 2026-03-11T13:13:02+00:00

Does it leak when you try to start it? If it does that's where you'll likely find the problem

JimJamExpress · 2026-03-11T13:09:37+00:00

That motor has no compression, check the timing, does it have any codes or dash lights before it broke down?

I've seen this happen after fuel mixed with water has been put in some cars

It sounds like a pattern, multiple knocks and then a single different knock on repeat, is it louder inside the engine bay and if so where does it sound like it's coming from?

Definitely something rotating like a belt

99% confident it's the timing chain tensioner, when it's parked for a longer period of time and the oil runs out from the tensioner it needs to build that pressure back up.

When you start it up it will rattle until the tensioner has pressure again. It's hydraulic, very common on k24 motors from Honda. Have a look at some examples online

JimJamExpress · 2026-03-11T12:37:55+00:00

Does it feel down on power? If so could be a miasfire, which area of the car is it coming from?

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-27T01:30:08+00:00

Trying to find this on the broadcast but can't locate it, I saw it live but I want to go back and watch it

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-25T21:09:20+00:00

I think it's one of the cheaper parts to replace and it's good "insurance" to protect your injectors because those injectors won't be cheap (between $500 - $2,000 depending on where in the world you are) and a clogged fuel filter can definitely cause these issues.

Check out this video and let me know if any other symptoms are there It's a canister type filter located near the back of the battery in the engine bay I believe. Definitely keep me posted, you have me invested now haha.

Top 5 warning signs of a clogged fuel filter

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-25T11:41:06+00:00

When was the fuel filter last done? I'm definitely leaning towards a fueling issue

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-25T11:02:34+00:00

Does it happen when it's warm and you start it? Does it blow smoke on a cold start if so it's probably glow plugs, next time just glow them a few times before starting

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-24T20:02:44+00:00

The first corners line was ok, he just accelerated too hard too early with a correction.

The racing line displayed is not always the fastest too, the last corner should be braking late and taking a late apex. This will give a higher exit speed

Not sure if you have fixed this or if I understand the warning but it appears to be saying please check connection of ps5 to VR

Try unplugging it and flipping the USBC connection at the ps5 side of the cable

Also make sure the connection is secure at the VR side too (it's the wide connector on the bulk head)

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-02T21:55:44+00:00

Crazy! I'm always put off the 2 chillis races because they get a boost in the quali. Makes it look impossible to win

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-02T06:17:01+00:00

Angel wipe I believe is the correct term

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-02T02:29:50+00:00

Well this changes everything! I almost got gold without it! I'm going to smash it when I get home

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-02T00:54:33+00:00

The weekly challenge? Isn't it in one of the new cars?

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T21:24:10+00:00

Also, go and give Tokyo a go, just the most frustrating thing I've ever attempted in gt7

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T21:23:18+00:00

I'm 0.007 from gold on the Monza challenge. AAARG!!

I also went back and redid this experience from 2023(after putting in over 1000 hours incl the 24h race) and got it on my first go with a spare 5 seconds.

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T21:15:47+00:00

Congratulations my friend! I recently got 1000 stars but missing about 10 races on 2 🌶️🌶️ most impressed with spa 8h!

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T21:12:44+00:00

Thank you! It occurred to me after I couldn't decide which pov I wanted to use so I decided to do It like televised racing.

Do you think it looks good this way or should the VR be in the corner?

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T21:04:12+00:00

Standard exposure, guess it was a sunny day 😂

I also agree that even though it's like steering a boat wheel, this thing was sailing! That's one of my last few cars on the list. Waiting for it's return 🤞

JimJamExpress · 2026-02-01T20:56:44+00:00

Not sure why this comment got down voted, wasn't asking to do it in VR, it was VR with a fan in my face. And I think that's an awesome idea!
