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.

    • 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
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
