Hi guys. I had my car tuned last week, and pulles like a freight train. Bt sometimes i swear to got that it pings or something, but the knock sensor only registers small jumps of say 30 or so.

So does the SAFC II pick up pinging aswell as knocking??????????

I have had it on the dyno, but i had to refill with prmium not BP ULTIMATE, as it was out here in tas. The tuner has teh car setup perfect, and running well, it did not ping or knock on the dyno.

I just wanted to make sure that the SAFC II picked it up.

forget the safc. use your ears to pick it up. if it's audible then f**k the readout. it's pinging!!! it doesn't matter if the knock reading is 5 if you can audibly hear it destroying itself. It sounds quite likely that since you had it tuned on 98. and are now running 95 there is a fair chance it's pinging now.

yea its all in the fuel mate. even a stock skyline wont drive nice with '95 in it.

if you filled up, then ur gonna have to take it easy for the next few days... below 3k rpm, no hammering it around. Once it gets below 1/4 tank, put in $20 of 98 (bp ult or shell v-power pref). Then once that gets below a 1/4 again, fill up with 98 and you should be ok to drive.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
