  1. Is it just me or does anyone else want to see a Liberty walk style bunny kit on a R33 I was thinking of trying to retro fit rx7 FD rears on but before i start wasting money has anyone tried?

    I reckon the LB challenger ones may fit but not gonna spend 5K to find out lol

  2. The Power FC's (especially the older ones) tend to pick up 'false' knock.

    As an example I had an old power FC on my car when I had the gt2835KAI (think it wasa v2.20) which I replaced with a brand new one. Same tune on both, with the old one I used to see 20+ knock on startup and randomly get spikes of knock at really random times. With the new one, only ever got about 6 knock on startup and never really had any knock issues

    Im not suggesting that its nothing to worry about and your Power FC is lying to you, but its worth mentioning

    The tuner needs to put a standalone knock sensor on it and have a proper listen for knock. Log the point where it knocks if you can or at least remember where it is then get the tuner to go for a drive with you and listen for actual knock. There may be no problem at all, or it may need a retune

    This is the only way to prove it for sure

    Its pretty random I have had high knock levels pop up just putting around 2000-4500 barely hitting boost then i get them at WOT but with octane booster i see nothing over 30. makes me think there is carbon buildup in the cylinder ;)

    which RPM are you picking up this knock at?

    its pretty random but if i had to pick it would be up top 6000+ WOT

    New nissan knock sensors are ridiculously expensive. Is there any new alternative that doesn't require too much dicking around? Most knock kits use the Bosch or GM donut sensors, could these be incorporated into the ECU?

    im interested to know i would love to update them

  3. I pulled my diff apart measured the shims inside had 1x .76m and 1x1.1mm shim, removed the .76 and added two .80mm shims now my diff is acting like a locker i hate it! :angry:

    i have read that these need to wear in. is this true?

    or have i jammed in to much thickness on the shims?

  4. Hi Guys Im running a Rb25 with op6 highflow set on 20psi tuned by insight motorsport

    The car picks up knock readings of 80+ on my pfc this is my second engine and i don't quite want to do an engine swap any time soon and before it gets asked i did get this motor retuned after the engine swap could it be bad fuel? or anything else?

    I now run half a bottle of octane booster per tank to keep it from knocking at the moment?

    I havent checked cam timing ill pop the cover off today and see if it has jumped any teeth.

    thanks any help is appreciated
