Car is an r33 gtst s1 with an rb25/30 in it.

I am running a ViPEC v44 plug in ecu.

All of the cam timing is all 100000000000% spot on and I set the base ignition timing up fine also.

Now the issue is when I rev it up in nuetral, around 3000 to 3500 rpm and MAP of 80 to 100kpa (-0.2 to 0 bar of boost) the car pings.

It is a very audible noise and do not need to use the knock sensors to hear it. I have a Gizzmo Kmon set up though, not just using my ears :banana: The timing in that area is (rpm vs boost in bar):

______3000____3500

-0.2____31______31

__0____27______27

The fuel is Vortex 98. Guilt-Toy said the timing is pretty mild so I have no damn clue why it is doing what its doing. I have NO f**king idea why it is doing this and I am going to pull my hair out and torch the car. Its driving me insane.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Lukas

I have a complex mathematical theory that only I can understand, here it is:

Latitude: 19° 15' 0 S

Longitude: 146° 48' 0 E

These are co-ordinates of Townsville and I believe there to be a god like creature in the fabric of time that is f**king with our two Skylines causing them to ping.

That is all.

This theory is also supported by Stokes Theorem as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes%27_the...lectromagnetism

Now explain to me how the hell I can easily understand that crap but this mystical ping eludes me.

I think this god aweful being's reach also extends to the Whitsundays too because no matter where I take the car I can't escape the ping :banana:

does it still do it if you pull timing? what are the afr's like?

and last but certainly not least, why the hell would you run that crap they call vortex? (runs from all the vortex lovers)

Because the two BP service stations here don't have 98. The only 98 in town is Vortex. Its not my fav either but its the only 98 :banana:

The AFRs are around 13 at that section of the map.

I haven't pulled the timing yet as I have been busy working and fixing another car. I have a day off tomorrow so I am going to run it tomorrow with just the 10 deg btdc base and see if it still does it. I will be making a sound recording for Guilt-Toy using the Gizzmo Kmon too so I will be sure to update the thread with any info.

you sure its a ping mate? could it be some kind of rattle coming from the water pump or oil pump or something moving around in the head?

disconnect the water pump belt and quickly test it before you do anything else

I think it is man :S I am pretty retarded and am not 100% sure how to upload these sound files I recorded. I tried putting them on youtube but no luck :blink:

I will send you the sound recordings of the two little tests.

I did one test on base timing lock to 10 btdc and then another when I let the ignition map go back to normal and recorded them both.

If someone wants to help a retard put those audio files online Im all ears.

PS It doesn't make that knocking noise when it is locked to 10 btdc

max adv is 35deg in your map on these load points. something is not right somewhere.. and this issue happaned after your removed the timing case and harmonic balancer and CAS and re-installed them.

Take your belts off and try it and get back to me.

Yeh I don't know wtf is up! I have bought a new CAS and it is in the mail express post so should be here by wednesday at the latest.

Do you think my CAS could be stuffed? The balancer shows about 35deg when I have the timing light on it and rev it up BUT when I watch the ignition table on the laptop it makes that noise when the ignition table is meant to be about 28 to 32deg. I guess I will see if the CAS if stuffed when the new one arrives.

Ok man I will take off the belts tomorrow and see if it still makes that noise. It doesn't make that noise when locked at 10deg though for some reason.

Should I just go all out and pull it all down again put it all back together again or wait to see if the new KNOWN working CAS fixes it?

Tried it without the belts on and it still made that noise.

I just pulled everything off and put it all back together and for SOME reason it isn't doing it anymore. Could have been a CAS issue, I am just glad it isn't doing it now.

NOW I have a different problem!

My coolant is showing STUPIDLY hot readings. It will be fine driving around etc and not doing anything stupid and then BAM is will go from 90 right up to 100 in about 1 second. WTF?!?!

I can be driving along fine doing 70 in 4th gear and the temps will rise REALLY fast from 85 to 105 within about 30 seconds. It is just silly.

Could I be getting electrical interference somewhere that is messing with the temp sender to the ECU?

I am trying to find a known working sender to put in and test.

It wasn't raising in temp this bad before when I had no radiator shroud. Now all of a sudden after I have put the shroud on its running stupid hot.

Any Suggestions?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
