i dont think a restricting exhaust will cause pinging but wrong AFR will or also bad fuel

mine pings like yours @ high RPM 3rd and 4th ive goto change fuel pumps see if that helps

i would of said stagea turbo is like the R33 dont go over 14psi or you'll blow the wheels out of it there only ceramic (**just remembered you have high flow**)

cheers

yeah everything is done that needs to be done

will give it a stickful tonight with a fresh tank of Vpower fuel, and listen intently

oh well, will add the Kakimoto 3"muffler I just bought for $65 and have the tune touched up, when possible.

so you reckon a big restriction CAN cause detonation in the higher rpm areas?

been really worrying me.

care to share your thoughts on this? Im only thinking its pinging as it sounds like a tinfull of nuts/coins at high rpm (+5000rpm), like something is loose but I highly doubt that. sat bolt upright in bed on sunday night with the thought that its most likely the sound of dreaded pinging.

yeah, just paid a SAU member $65 for a Kakimoto 3inch exhaust, delivered from WA. was going to go for a Magnaflow, can get a new one for $160 fitted but the wallett is too damned tight atm.

I've really got no idea about the cause of your detonation...was just mentioning magnaflow cos they're good quality and its what I have - it'd remove your restriction but I cant say if it would affect the pinging?

I heard the "dreaded sound" whilst driving interstate - somewhere around west wyalong. Was running on dodgy 96 octane premium unleaded and put the foot to the floor to speed up in a hurry and as it dropped back a gear and the revs climbed and it quickly reached full boost i heard it pinging quite clearly. Driving normally was fine though and once I gave the stagea her favourite drink (bp ultimate) again, all was well :wub:

Thats a BARGAIN for the kakimoto exhaust!! Very generous of the seller by the sounds :stupid: all for a good cause!! Good luck with it :glare:

^^

pixel8r hope you don't mind me asking but have the job prospects improved since you've come back to adelaide???

Starting full time permanent employment on monday!! and the wife has had work but also starts new permanent full time job on monday - not bad if you ask me :)

So yeah all good thanks for asking.

The plan is to save some money and take a few courses and move into Linux Systems Admin (most likely Novell CLA/CLE) probably next year at this stage but right now we're both pretty happy to have permanent work ;)

NISSAN R32 GTR BLACK $26,990 - its just a standard 1994 gtr jess (if i remember corectly you were after a v-spec?)

It doesnt have to be a Vspec if its a nice car and at the right price..

Thanks :( But want white if I can find a good one

Hey, is your nearly here yet??I bet you cant wait!! :sorcerer:

well done Pixl8r, good work dude.

glad things have sorted themselves out

yeah madaz, not after sound, but meh, need unrestrictive exhaust and the 1hr retune. pinging = bad lol

hey, anyone got a link to an awesome setout for a resume? never done one and Im quitting soon (after 10yrs with the 1 company). need some resume-making advice, guidlines etc. Ive got a lot I can put in, just dont want it to look basic I suppose, never made one before.

You are no longer an 18 year old with no real skills or experience so spend the dosh and get a proffesional to help you write the resume.

Pinging is Pre-IGNition (P-ING) so the problem is with the timing. An exhaust MAY contribute, but unless you changed the exhaust after the tune the problem is with the tune. Send it back and tell them you are not happy. Considering we are in cooler weather now (than mid summer) the problem will only get worse when the heat returns.

Is sounds like your tune was a little to agressive. You may loose some peek power, but I would rather have reliable power every day than a high figure that will severly reduce the life of the engine. (skylines are known to have ringland problems if the tune is to advanced - but otherwise are over enginered)

I've found it to be the opposite. :S

Tune on a warm day mine always pings when the air is really cold.

Tune when its nice and cold and it doesn't ping in the heat.

Mate of mine Antony also found the same when his was tuned on a 30+degree day; came night time it started pinging slightly. Middle of the day air is warm no ping.

But yes.. The tune is too aggressive. It needs to be touched up on the dyno.

A restrictive exhaust will see an earlier onset of detonation as backpressure in the exhaust means there's also more backpressure in the turbo and exhaust manifold. Backpressure = reversion = lowered ve = earlier onset of detonation due to contaminated charge = lower power

It doesnt have to be a Vspec if its a nice car and at the right price..

I picked it up this morning from the wharfs!!!!!RARARARAR!!!!!!! i did about 50 the whole way to the compliance workshop... i didnt want it to end!

everything has gone soooo smoothly with the importing, just fantastic, everyone has been really good to me. so i couldnt be happier!

heres some pics if anyone else wants a look =)

/me stops showing off, and the pics dont do it justice... quarintine people were like, "wow, is basically a new car under here" as they were inspecting it

i was going to take it home and wash it and play with it over the weekend, but the guys at PVP said to just bring it in. so in about 2 weeks it should be on the road and causing people to re-think their choice of automobile =P

Hmmm thats a worry because mine was also tuned on a ~35deg day!! I (like others) figured I'd at least be safe from pinging.

However I haven't heard any pinging - even in cold weather (love boosting it on cold nights) so hopefully all is well. Has been running like a dream since I had it tuned. Sounds like you may have been unlucky tangles? Hope you get it sorted. You may want to get it retuned with the new exhaust on anyway...

You sonofa bitch! THATS a swoit and noice ride you got there pal, VERY VERY squeaky clean from the outside looks.

I'm looking forward to buying an R34 GTR or 350GT in the near future (if u call 2 years a near future) and keeping my 33 for a bit of fun on the track.

hey 4doorsleeper, good advice, been thinking that perhaps thats the route I should take. didnt realize tho Im not 18. hhmmm when did that happen?

with the pinging, Im not too sure - hey ! :D it might be something slightly loose, perhaps heatshield is only 95% tight, time to have a fiddle. Im pretty happy with the tune/service from boostworx, cant fault it really. But they did inform me they couldnt do much with the top end due to the backpressure from the restrictive lump of a muffler.

welding on a kakimoto muffler and will get a 1hr retune, she'll be sweet.

think the bike will sell soon, 7grand only. but with the 13weeks LSL i get from september, a few months off will help the wife have her wrist surgery, and then take the time to find a good workplace, a new start after a decade in a small 4person business.

doh, always thought it was safer to tune on a low-30deg day.

I dont think the tune is too aggresive - knew before I went in that the muffler would most likely be a problem, its a lump of a thing and very quiet, dense etc, a big restriction when you've got a highflowed turbo attempting to pump out 1Bar. couldnt even flow that much.

Shaun at boostworx said change the muffler and come back for a quick touchup of the tune, that was when I picked it up last month.

fact is, I couldnt be happier with boostworx service etc, definately have no need to go anywhere else.

Im thinking that perhaps something is rattling, just cant see what it is. only happens on hard boost from 5000+, sounds like a rattle like a bolt on tin, but my mind may have led me to wonder if its the sound of detonation?

Just at a guess - could it also be described as the sound of a few nails being tipped onto sheet metal?

Thats kinda what mine sounded like. Heard many different descriptions from people and given that I'd just had my timing advanced a bit as well as having the safc tuned to 12:1 AFR's (up from about 10.5:1, thus advancing the timing a bit more at the corresponding rpm) AND the fact I was running crappy 96 octane country fuel it was pretty obvious mine was pinging. :D

and I'll also mention - fishpaste, you are and will be making a LOT of people jealous with that GTR! Not much not to like about it! :)

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
