High Nock When Accelerating In A Higher Gear

Hey,

Lately (more so than ever) I have noticed my nock sensor on the Apexi power FC has been going through the roof if I accelerate in like 5th. It jumped up to 133 the other day on the freeway. I nearly spat chips.

I can go as nuts as I like and the nock never really gets over 30 but if I try take off in second (say you were just about to pull up and the lights turn green) and give it some gas, sure enough the nock goes f**ken crazy.

My odo is at around 94k so I'm thinking she may need a 100k service a bit earlier. Obviously a bit much stress on the engne.

Any ideas?

Higher gear means more load. Unlike some ppl who can get incorrect knock readings from dodgey senders or noisy setups, you are most likely experiencing the real deal.

130 is bad btw - don't hit it, and get it checked ASAP

Yeah bad ha! The time it hit 130 or so was on the free way and I accelerated in 5th from 80 to boost. I shouldv'e changed down first.

I dropped the oil and changed the filter which has done her a treat. She has not gone over 25 now and thats over a 2 hour drive. I'm going to get her re-tuned in the next few days. $ just been a bit tight which sux. Not to mention the missus who's cracking it over the neglect on her civic while all the $ pour into the skyline. eh i'm like a drug addict. lol

cheers for the advice.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
