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.

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

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
