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?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
