Means the air/fuel mixture inside the cylinder is exploding under its own free will from compression instead of burning when the engine ignites a spark from the spark plug.

Ie. your engine will eventually die if it continues like this.

thanks mate, so the fix is a tune. could it be because it was not tuned properly when i put in the Power FC a couple of months ago.

is the problem only happening when the light comes on during high boost or all the time?

Yep a tune will fix it. Did it get tuned when you installed it? Or are you just running it on the base map?

The light also flashes if the injectors are maxing out, or if the airflow metre is maxing out. So it could also be that.

Check your hand controller's max knock count, max airflow voltage and max injector duty cycle to see what one it is. But most likely it is knock.

Best bet just take it back to your tuner and get him to check it out. When you take it there, get the car's engine light to come on along the way but don't turn the car off when you get to him. That way he can have a look at all the max values on the hand controller and tell you straight away what's causing it. Whether its knock, the afm or injectors.

Good luck.

i started reading and when u didnt know wat knock was straight away i suspected u wouldnt have the correct fuel in it... i see it alot.... kinda makes me angry sumtimes lol..... if it was tuned on 98 and ur gonna go flog it sumwhere make sure it has that octane fuel in it. minimum u can run lower octane fuel if ur just lightly cruising but it still not recommended. my 2cents

yeh i no it was tuned on 98 and i'm ment to run 98, but the servo had run out. they only had 95 and i had 10 mintues to get to the crusie. what i didn't realise is the damage that could of been done while i was out with 300 other cars letting her have it for 4 hours.

well shouldnt it have clicked wen for sum reason sumthing different is happening now that ur not running the same petty(generally flashing lights mean get off the go peddle).... like seriously now. thats like puttin canola oil in ur sump and saying oh she'll love it..... sorry to rant on but sum ppl are just so ignorent.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
