Hi Guys,

I have a fairly stock R34 GTT, full exhaust, FMIC, pod filter, BOV, AVCR.

I have set low on the AVCR to 0.5bar and high to .75bar.

I have noticed especially on high boost pinging at and above 4000rpm.

What causes pinging, and what sort of things can resolve pinging?

Too much timing, poor fuel, not enough fuel

So it'll either be your running too much timing, or fuel pump dying and/or blocked fuel filter

I assume your using PULP... so one of the above

I would go and get a FULL service, oils, plugs, filters and THEN put it on a dyno and check the AFR's and go from there

Most people can't hear detonation, easiest way to describe the sound is the sound that is made on a geiger counter that detects radiation. This is what you are hearing?

Very rare for the stock ECU (with only such minor mods) to allow such audible detonation at only 4000rpm, hence why im thinking it might be something else that you think is detonation.

I've never heard anyone call it "pinking" before either lol It's eithet dotonatin/knocking or pinging.

Anyway, I have tried to hear an engine pinging when the tuner said it was doing it ..and I was right next to the engine with the bonnet up and I couldn't hear shit over the engine noise.

So for you to be able to hear it from your driver seat whilst driving .. hmm, it's either not detonation or you've got some violent detonations and the engine is about to blow up :down:

By the way, at the very least you should have your ecu remapped if you can't afford an aftermarket one .. Toshi here in Sydney does a GTT for $400 I believe. He'll fix up your ignition timing and AFRs to prevent detonations

I think there's a guy called Dr Drift down in Melbourne who does the same thing.

Just ordered myself a Walbro fuel pump and will be changing that, will also get myself a fuel filter on the weekend.

I have booked my car in for a remap and dyno run with Dr Drift, but he couldn't fit me in till mid may so I will just have to wait until then.

Thanks everyone for all the advice I appreciate it :-)

Ended up being fuel. I refilled with BP Ultimate and took it for a squirt and the pinging was gone.

I had bought the fuel filter and fuel pump before refilling so decided to change those anyway. Probably better to have new better stuff anyway.

Still gonna get it tuned though as I have been hanging to do it for a while and this just gave me the push I needed to book it in.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
