A Must Read For Budding Tuners, Or Those Interested In "knock"

I found on my gtr apexi djetro on a low load ping read about 20. I occasionally still get over 100 on crank I presume from starter motor mesh? The base ignition map has a lot of low load advance. After some fiddling now I never get more than 12. Reset max timing to no more than 32 (was 48) and varified number with timing light. Bp98 always used.

I've heard plenty of RB engine's ping at low rpm high load and the knock sensor hasn't reacted, thats tuning with either PFC or factory ECU. I wouldn't recommend tuning based off feedback from the OEM knock sensor, use it only as a guide along with a proper chassis ear and good understanding of what an engine does when it is detonating.

This is probably one of the best and clearly written explanations which will correlate with even the less mechanically minded. Engine Basics: Detonation and Pre-Ignition by Allen W. Cline All high

I was informed there was a few broken links to the sound files so i have linked them to the reseller of the knock box who has some great examples. http://theknockbox.com.au/the-knock-box/sound-record

^^ Spot on, definitely the best advice.

The two better tuners locally to me both use 'knock box'.

What hardware are you guys going to? Phormula?

Justin, ive found the knock box to be the most reliable as a full time tuning option as it can be quickly swapped fom engine to engine easily.

The PLEX unit is awesome but is actually painful to use. It takes a long time to set up to get the same accuracy as the knock box, therefore we only use the PLEX system on big budget big HP setups where the customer is happy to pay for the extra time.

Those are great samples, thanks Trent. Sounds like very heavy det too, nasty. Would be interesting to hear varying levels of knock starting with very mild.. eg start from knock-free baseline and then adding 2 degrees in timing every 5 seconds and then train yourself to listen for light knocking as well.

On another forum they are saying that if you use ~original at the end of the link then it works again Trent.  I haven't tried it but several have vouched that it works.

But Photobucket will probably end up closing that loophole eventually as well.

On another forum that I frequent, Street Triple, I informed the admin guys of a workaround for the Photobucket ransom demand.
The dodge was to place the string ~original after .jpg in the Photobucket URL.
Using that, they were able to download all the pictures.
They then modified all threads that used Photobucket links to point to the downloaded pictures that were now stored on their server.
The resulting pictures are stored in a gallery, which is now used instead of Photobucket.
Kudos to that site's admin people.

All the embedded photos are with photobucket, due to a recent owner change they have decided to charge for hosting (399 usd a year)

 

if you use CHROME this work around will allow you to view allthe missing images.

      R34 GTR Pricing query

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Don't know about this one. Though I spent a lot of time looking at cars that I couldn't buy. This worked for me:   1) Make account on carsales 2) Search for the car you are after, eg. R34 GTRs 3) Save the search and tick the box for notifications 4) Receive email / notification every time a car is listed 5) Save the car by clicking the heart button 6) Go through your saved cars periodically and see which ones stay listed for ages, which ones go down in price and which ones are gone in no time   I haven't looked at GTRs, but I noticed a good bargain won't last a week, sometimes not even a weekend. You won't see those if you only search occasionally. The ones that ask for too much don't sell and stick around forever.

      The car has been around for awhile now and is popular. So a good portion of mechanics have probably worked on them.  I just did a google search of "Brisbane import mechanic" a few popped up

      R34 GTR Pricing query

      By Liquid Swords · Posted

      Hi, This thread will possibly get deleted, but genuinely wanted seasoned veteran feedback on an R34 GTR price. Saw the below listed recently on CS for a mouth watering sum. With the amount of work done to it, is this considered a fair price? Or is it still heavily influenced by what's going on in Japan and the upcoming US market, on top of the modifications? At these rates, this is a nice goodbye to the average Joe's dreams. Even if it were listed at half the price, that is still a lot of hard earned cash. Every month, the dream goes further towards the moon. Have to become a successful business owner to even come close 😁   PS. If the owner is here, no offense! You do what you gotta do!
