ok when im driving and i rev it to 5000 rpm it makes this weird noise its almost like its tapping out but it taps out really fast like brbrbrrbrbrbrbrbrbr lol its never happened before so if u know what it is or could be then please let me know

also when i got my exhaust put on i asked them for a decat pipe so they just welded in a pipe but that sensor that goes into the stock cat yer they didnt put that in should it be in there or doesnt it really matter could this be my problem?

the tapping and brbbrbrbrbr is the engine detonating / misfiring

stop loading the engine up, stop loading it up on boost and find out the cause

likely causes

- boost too high

- crap fuel

- broken vac lines etc

- mangled boost controller

- poor boost control

- unlimited boost

- issues with fuel delivery - too lean, pump dying, rail shagged, injectors shagged

when did it start?

what did you last change?

what ecu? what boost control?

what other mods?

so your using a boost controller of some sort?

I thought it might be detonation but its to hard to tell... can u desecribe it any better?

Does it push through the miss or does the miss at 5000 stop the car from reving any further

Just put as much info as you can think of up here and ull get a better answer

even if you think its pointless information just put it up anyway.

sounds like a rev limiter at 5k lol. coils wouldn't be constant enough to literally hold it at 5k. neither would fuel delivery or boost problems.

think you need a better description. if it intermittently cuts out then it could be any of the above but if it drives perfect up to 5 then holds it there....

yer it runs fine up until 5000 rpm its like a car tapping out but faster tapping if that makes sense i dont really hold it i mean like as soon as i hear it i back off or just change gears so i dont know if it goes away or stays but i f*kin want it gone bad how can this be solved like can i put the car on a dyno n find the problem or do i have to just keep replacing things until it goes away

you'll only get guesswork here because it can be so many things... sounds like something you should be taking the car to a performance car specialist/mechanic for. Get it on the dyno and let them figure out what the problem is before it becomes worse.

no it's not a 'ping coming from the exhaust'. I'm sorry but there is no such thing.

a hole in the exhaust will not cause an engine to ping, nor will it cause a missfire, nor will it cause the engine to cut at 5,000rpm. all it will do is leak exhaust gas which will make the car sound like it has an exhaust leak.

it's pretty hard to diagnose over the net. take it to a mechanic.

yer i took it too boostworx today and they said its probably missfiring so ill get them to get it on the dyno

but today i drove it too see if it would stay at 5000rpm n not move or once it got past 5000rpm it would be fine and it didnt do it at all so i dunno whats going on there

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
