Hey guys i got a little problem and im not sure what it means?

i was driving last night and seems that when im in low revs and in say a high gear the orange check engine light started flashing quickly and i notice the oil pressure started going from like the second line to over 4 on the oil gauge in the dash? i notice then when getting onto the freeway and acclerating up to the speed limit it done it again and seemed to for the rest of the nite everytime i acceleralted the pressure rose up.

I assume this is a bad bad thing but what is it ?

i got a r33 gtr has power fc n1 oil cooler hks turboes ported head pistons catch can injectors fuel rail 3.5in exhaust standard air flow meters.

help? ...... :D

i got a gtr as well , oil pressure in mine once warmed up is about 2kg on idle about 4kg around 4000rpm and about 6kg at high revs so to me your oil pressure is fine , i had never had the check engine light b4 get it checked out , what are your knock reading ????

Dont worry about your oil pressure it is fine , as u get more rev the oil pump spin faster so it pumps more oil , I dont have a PFC so i cant tell u how to check it but im 99% sure u will be getting a high knock like over over 90 that when your engine will light flash at u

hmmmmm okay did help the read was informative .... its a bar graph on the hand controller but when the bar graph went allmost full it started flashing the light.... mite try the high octane approach thanks gtr32gus.

Sounds like your PowerFC is running a default map or is incorrectly tuned or has forgotten it's map. This can happen if it's a new PowerFC, a second hand PowerFC from another car or if its broken.

Either way if the knock sensors are maxing out the bar graph you are minutes away from popping your motor if you keep driving it like that. You've probably already done considerable damage.

You need to stop driving it and take it to someone who knows what they're doing pronto.

The knock reading on the PowerFC is displaying what the knock sensors in your engine detect. . Knock, also called pinging or pre-ignition and is generally the result of the air-fuel mixture igniting or exploding prematurely. This is obviously going to cause problems in the cylinder if the crank wants to push the piston up but the igniting/exploding and thus expanding air-fuel mixture wants to push the piston down. Results - blown rings, pitted pistons, bent rods, engine damage, none of these are good.

If you really are seeing the engine light flash and the knock reading go way up you really need to stop driving it. Higher octane fuel or octane boost is not going to solve your problem AT ALL.

it seems to only do this when im in high gear and low revs than when i start to acclerate i its reallll boggy and the light comes on when i drive around normally its fine... has done it when i turned the boost up a lil.... ill take it to a tuner when they open up after holidays thanx sewid...

The dyno's ramp rates are too fast to simulate a road condition such as this.

Get it back to the dyno and tell him what its doing and he or maybe she will tune it a little more conservatively.

OR.. Just don't drive in that manner. :)

mine did the same we took out 2 degrees of ignition and it stopped it, it showed a bit of detonation as mentioned earlier......keith

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
