Pinging

I noticed my V35 pings quite a lot. I had it tuned by a very trustworthy guy who worked on my Zed and pinging in a turbo engine is a real worry but not so much in an NA. Anyway he said the computer on the V35 has everything tied up so he can't adjust it.

Has anyone else noticed excessive pinging?

cheers

I was in a roundabout in Sunbury yesterday and I momentarily about to start but saw a car that suspectly going to turn my way so I brake, then saw the car wasn't, so I accelerate again quickly and had a tyre chirp than a rattling kind of noise ta ta ta ta, is that the one you're talking about? or is that my ESC turning on? it's happening too quick I didn't have chance to look down and see if my SLIP light was on as it's too dangerous to do that in the middle of a busy roundabout.

Did your mechanic check the timing Geoff? Is the timing adjustable by rotating the CAS like on the Zed or is that also controlled by the computer? Shouldn't be out of whack I know but it might have been fiddled with by the previous owner. And I assume you are running with 98 octane fuel.

if anyone fiddled with mine it will most likely be Nissan dealer doing the 50000km service.

does anyone have info if the timing on V35's VQ35 is the same as local 350Z ? as I suspect nissan would have used 350Z's data to perform any engine related service.

hey mate that is just your traction control / VDC kicking in.

has happened to me a few times as well when my previous tyres were bald and in the wet

I seem to get pinging on mine a bit too... haven't quite figured out the cause. Seems to happen at low rpms when the car is coasting in gear then i get back on throttle...say under 2k rpms. It also occasionally happens during same coasting in gear to back on throttle but over 2k rpm so e.g. 2400 rpms. Anyone noticed these cars are really sensitive to heat ? Or is it just mine lol =/

I get exactly the same symptoms as Touge Kyousou above but in a VQ25DD engine...

in that case I have not experienced the pinging...

although it happened like a rattling engine sound 1-2 second after the car haven't been started for 2 days.

is that cos there's no oil in the valvetrain/head?

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
