i was giving my car a bit of a go today cos i got my licence back yesterday. and when i got to abou6500rpm with foot flat down trying to push the firewall out the car(lol) there was a rattle from the engine bay im running stock boost with exhaust and pod filter can anyone give me any sugestions where to look to fix the rattle

ITs either PINGING or theres something lose in your engine bay. Last time i had this problem is my turbo heat shield was loose, so whenever I give it a go the engines vibrates so does the heat shield agianst the turbo. Try looking at your engine bay for anything loose and tighten it. If it still persist look at your spark plug maybe ur car is pinging. Gud luck let us know how u go.

i lost my licence for losing all my points on my p's in a SSS pulsar and found out about the suspension the day after picking up the skyline. i had my dad drive the car every few days for the 3months i couldnt and it got fresh fuel in the day before i got my licence back shell vracing 100octane i had it dyno tuned the day i got the car and i know my dad hasnt had it over 3000rpm when hes driven it. im gonna check for any lose things in the engine bay in the morning hopefully that will fix it.

i know speeding and drifting is illeagle so why is it so fun?

all the fun things are against the law :)

but what did he get tuned?

he hasnt got an aftermarket ecu, judging by his description, its virtually stock.

i had this problem when i chucked in 100octane in my r32 before i got the ecu remap and it pinged.

obviously the ecu didnt like the 100 octane, and its doing the same in his car.

is this true, can the wrong fuel cause a "rattle" noise in the engine bay? i've got a similar problem on my r33 rb25det.

the noise sounds like its coming from near the turbo area of the engine and it's really struggling to keep revs at idle but at high speed it feels fine.

problem seemed to start after filling up with Shell V Power fuel 99 Octane and after it got tested on the dyno, so hopefully it'll not be anything serious and maybe just a loose heat shield etc but that doesn't say why it is stalling?

any help guys PLEASE? :ninja:

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
