i just checked all my levels on my hand controler. after getting the back out around a corner and hitting the rev limter in second my knock level read a max of 79.

my previous highest knock level was a 19 again when hitting the limter.

i had to double check what i was reading because it seemed a lot high

could be a dodgy batch of fuel? boost spiking? ambient temp when attempting the sideways action?

i didnt actually see a question in there but im assuming you wanna know why it was knocking so much? personally, i wouldnt be too worried about it as long as your not doing it 24/7, even then 79 isnt too high. from memory the PFC cuts in to warn you at about 60 which is well short of doing any damage

yeh sorry mate.. what i was asking is firstly could this be a correct reading and secondly how bad of a reading is this.. the engine light did come on how ever when it happened. injector duty was below 90% and a/f was 5110 but i do have a Z32 afm so i dont think thats the prob.

what is a reading to be worried about

engine light typically set at 60 knock and anything above that is a concern if it is only happening at the limiter easy fix dont hit the limiter

unless you see it all the time I wouldn't loose to much sleep if its pretty regular ask your tuner he might be able to put more fuel or less ignition at the limit point

might help?!?

Woulda thought 90% injector duty is pushing it too much too?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      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.
