Hi there peoples have a problem not sure if i have detonation or a misfire been having excessive blow by but its been doing that since i had a track day didnt have a problem with pinging or misefire if thats what it is. as soon as full boost hits its wierd sound in one sense it sounds like misfire and then it sounds a jar of ball bearings rattling can some one shed some light on issue >_<

the jar of ball bearings i would guess is pingin gor detonating. Thats very bad. Id consider lowering the boost and make sure u run high octane petrol. If that doesnt minise it try taking timing out. Realyl ur best option is to go to a reputable skyline tuner and have it cheacked.

What mods? What boost? What fuel?

Mods are engine rebuilt arias pistons shotpenned rods fully balanced

microtech

sard 850cc injectors

hks cams 256 264

hks to4z

eboost settings at 17 20 25 psi

running mobile 8000 with 104 octane booster

never had detonation before on all three boost settings

take it to a dyno and get them to put a fuel pressure tester on and do a power test to see whats going on.

If you dont you will blow your engine to pieces.

BTW if you have blow by allready then you could have smashed some rings. do a leak down test.

my engine had lots of blow by and when i pulled it down 5 pistons had cracked / broken rings

Had a leak down test three weeks ago all cylinders except for two were at 15% the other two were at 55 60%

Old chestnut as they say but..........fuel pump failing?

Det is from running too lean, timing to far advanced or carbon hotspots on the pistons [igniting fuel before your sparkplug does].

when i had it dynoed the fuel pump was maxing out took the fuel return line off nothing was going back that was at 25 psi

looks like those cyl are leaking boost into the sump causing the blow by.

id look at re-ringing it and checking the pistons.

Ill be doing that in next few weeks pulling engine out putting total seal iron rings good for hi boost apparently changing rods to to argo rods get them real cheap $800 new replace bearings probably acl and get head flow tested and ported to suit the flow of hks t04z then change to surge tank and dual fuel pumps.

If all goes well hope to crack 400 rwkw fingers crossed

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
