hey guys,

im about to buy an r32 gtst from a mate at work. it has numerous modifications, FMIC,

turbo, exhaust, blah blah, and about 190k on the clock.

its in perfect nick except for a ping in the number 6 cylinder at highish revs.

he's replaced the plugs, coils, igniter pack, checked the Crank Angle Sensor, installed an aftermarket fuel pump and a set of flow tested injectors.

and still number 6 is detonating... does anyone have any ideas?

my mates just gotten tired of the car and splashed out on a mini cooper s, so he's basicaly giving it away for 6k. it all sounds like a bargain except for the detonation issue. any help would be appreciated.

cheers, Rowdy. :P

Hey man..

I had my engine ping on nuber six as well.. ended up with a melted piston....

Does the car have an oil catch can???

My turbo was on its way out.. blew oil through the cooler into the engine, causing detonation... got way too hot.. and went bang..

Thats usually a good place to start, and also the injectors could be dirty....

Just a place to start..

Sorry cant be more help..

shit that doesnt sound like fun...

yeah its got a catch can but the breathers fallen off lol. how come it was only pinging on number 6 though, if it was being blown through the cooler shouldnt it have affected all of the cylinders?

Thanks mate, any help is good help at this stage!

cheers, Rowdy. :devil:

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
