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

Geoff

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?

Correct - that is the lifters you can hear

      Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....

      Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
