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

nah it happens whenever i boot it i mean it just started happening on sunday and i kinda didnt pay to much attention but it happened again today in third gear so i havent actually driven the car to see when it happens cos im to scared that sumthin is gonna f**k up

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

    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
    • It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!      
    • Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
