i think the knock sensor is a factory peizo microphone type thingy that measures DB levels. I assume the PFC is similar to a Link in that you can set the knock sensitivity level, and anything over this level gets registered so you can monitor any bad stuff that you couldnt normally hear when your "up it".

I'm not sure if "knocking" and "pinging" are the same thing. Maybe someone else could expand a bit more for us all.

My car isnt tuned to well at the moment so i keep a good eye on the knock sensor (the little bar and the peak figure).

Here is what i know. Firstly providing you have an option set (cant remember where it is, i think it is in the menu where you select yes and no in japanese) in that menu then if the knock goes above 60 it will flash the check engine light. I have been told 60 is BAD but if you see it peak up around 30-40 it wont kill your engine (providing you dont see 30-40 all day everyday) but repeated excursions to that amount of knock wont help the engine.

I know that there is a person in this forum who is a total gun with the power fc. He could tell you more, i just dont know his nick.

Yavuz from Unigroup suggested to me that anything under 80 wasn't terrible as long as it wasn't all the time. We re-tuned my PFC a bit richer under load and it only dropped a couple of hp so now even on shit 96 fuel, it never gets past 40.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
