3 is nothing

knock is the engine pinging or detonating etc...

the factory warning is set at 60, which is when the check engine light will flash on the dash...anything up to about 30 is ok. If it starts hitting over 30 you might want to get your tuner to look at the tune...

yeah. The mic can often pic up vibrations (not in the engine) and register high, keep driving and see if it's a once in a while thing or a common happening, if the later go see your tuner.

i got mine tuned by matty spry.

usually max knock i see is 18.

BUT when i redline it or go a tad over redline it shoots up to 60+...and the warning lite goes off, because he set it that way.

now he said "when u reach the redline or go over it the knock will shoot up. ignore it. its normal"

is THIS true?

The old knock reading mines been up to 133 & gets up to about 60 everyday but had ears on it with a knock detector & we hear nothing so yeah mine might registering my dog box or something else so i wouldnt worry about 3 lol. On start up knock may read a little high.

every time i hit limiter knock reads anywhere from 70 - 120. i try to stay off the limiter. Yes it is normal

go near red line in 4th or actually hit the limiter?

maybe the air is getting too hot and it is detonating a bit.

If your hitting the limiter ignore all knock readings from the limiter. remember stock limiter is 6900rpm.

when i reach limiter man. ahhh, well my limiter is set to 7300. that might be the problem. i will just need to hold back.

Hey guys, i wanted to set the rev cut to 7500 on mine, currently its at 8000.....how can i set it to 7500 on my hand commander, my tuner told me its really easy and somethingi can set up myself.

Also, i didnt know what it was set at before, and i was driving it hard once, and the car kind of jerked really badly (after going high reves, possible over 8000), was that my rev cut doing this, is it safe to hit rev cut...i guess its better than going over the rev i guess.......

Thanks:)

go to settings, then scroll to the last option which is rev. then hit the right arrow so the revs are highlighted then hit down arrow till it's down to what you want. then just hit back and go back to monitor mode or whatever you normally leave it in.

My Mates r33 would contantly register about 80knock on hard driving, the tune was spot on and great. Had a look in his engine bay and his sway bar had a massive dent in it from the intake hitting it, removed it and on full thrash he registered knock of 30. Big change.\

Knock is recorded as any metallic sound as in metal hitting metal, 3 is nothing.

Story pointless just a lil fyi

    • Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.
    • We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have 
    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
