Hey SAU, I am having trouble with engine knocking. I have tried a 500ml bottle of Wynns Octane Booster, which claims to stop engine knocking, and there are still knocks. I put the booster in before i filled the car up, drove around slowly for a few mins to help mix it through the tank (like going around roundabouts, swerving side to side down the road *like the racecars do when they warm their tryes*) and still get the knocks. When i start the engine, there are 1 or 2. whenever i try put my foot down, the number shoots up to about 30-40. I have to drive 4 hours home tomorrow so i am hoping to get some help by then. Things worth noting: I have recently had the battery disconnected, and a larger battery put in. Before i put the octane booster, after i put the foot down i had 58 knocks. So, the booster helped a little but there are still problems. I have the following mods- Apexi power fc, apexi boost controller, 3inch turbo back exhaust. Only run 98 shell V power The car is on stock boost. Cheers, Lachlan

Oh good. I was worried because im going on a 4 hour trip on friday and i didnt want to mess up my engine beforehand. Also not having the money for a retune is bad. Thank you very much My battery was too small for the amount of power my car needs, so i am getting a bigger one put in. I just didnt want to break any setup currently in the car as it would be too costly to put back. Once again, thank you!

Hey, If I disconnect the battery, will it require a retune of the Apexi Power fc? or a dyno retune again? I think i heard it once before, but I am after clarification. Im getting a bigger battery put in the car, and I need to know by Thursday lunchtime if im up for a lot more money than i set out Admin, if this isnt the correct section please move me, as i was unsure of where to go. Cheers, Lachlan

holy crap. well i have an r33 gt4 at the moment and am loving the 4wd part. but, i want a turbo preferably 34 model. you see my dilemma? haha

im not sure if this is the right place for this, and moderators feel free to move me. How much would it cost to install an ATTESA 4wd system into, say, an r34 gts-t? if you dont know, but know a company that does it, feel free to drop in a link cheers

im not sure if this is the right place to put this, but i am curious.. How much would it cost to install an ATTESA 4wd system into, say, an r34 gt-t? if you dont know, but you know a company that does it, feel free to drop a link in cheers

that would work i guess, but is there an actual part i could buy? or do i have to resort to making it myself.

yeah mate, nice! although your link isnt working for me, just takes me to an upload page where it wants me to upload something. how much did it cost ya?

this picture (sorry i stole it from another post). the part im talking about is behind the bar.

the guy i bought the car from has no back wall of boot lining. he claims that he hacked it up trying to make holes for the speaker wires, so now there isnt one and you can see the battery etc that the wall was meant to cover. Know any place i could pick one up? wreckers maybe? i will get a pic tonight if it helps. Basically, when you open up your boot and look towards the back seats, there is no lining there, (the grey carpet stuff), its just open.

what site did you use and what car do you drive sparkys? ive been looking for cheap bodykits for ages but i cant find any. they want to charge like $600 for one piece rather than 3.

mmm old pacific highway /drool

what does this mean? and how do you do it?

and you can pick up a set of gtr blinkers from the wreckers yeah? or do you know a place that sells.

arent they for fog lights? and would that mean i need to get new round blinker lights?

where would the blinkers fit? i have a r33 gts4 and my blinkers w/ dummy fog lights are located in the bar. in this picture, where would the blinkers go? im thinking of purchsing it. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/400R-STYLE-FRONT-BA...=item255a325dfd

wow thats like..everything.. thank you so much!

Wow thank you so much! i know exactly what to look for now! very helpful cheers

ok thanks heaps also, with the engine itself, if it has a T on it at the end, does that mean turbo? for example: RB25DET

if im in the wrong section, feel free to move me. exactly which engines have turbos in them? i see types like GTS, GTST, GTR, GT4, GTS25 and i wonder, which of these actually contain turbos? cheers.

Well that had nothing to do with my question at all. I wouldnt be driving an overpowered car at all, it would be underpowered as id be removing the turbo. Thank you to beserkr32, so it will be heaps expensive ay? you cant just take it out and replug lines or whatever, then later put the turbo back in? you would have to go through the whole process of replumbing things etc? Im not keeping it without a turbo forever, only like 9-10 months so would it all be necessary? Also im still working on the legal issue of it all. will let you know when i get it sorted from that side as if its not possible i cant go any further.

spoke to RTA again and got someone else this time. Asked about the decreasing performance issue and showing the turbo off as proof and she said "it should be fine, and would be registered as a non turbo, but ring in tomorrow and talk to the technical team to make sure." So i will have to wait for tomorrow for a definitive answer. I wont bother asking how to take the turbo out, ill just search the forums for that, im just trying to work out the legality of it all. Because if its legal, then ill do it.

come on guys somebody must know something.
