Hi was hoping for some help from people in the know yucky.gif

Lately when i give my GTR a squirt the engine makes a slight clattering noise and the engine light flashes on and off very quickly .

The noise occurs only at mid to high rev range about 5500 rpm to 7500 rpm

In the past before the issue with the noise , it did blow a fair amount of black smoke from time to time requiring a re-tune .

Could it be valve bounce ? I need some help !

My cars staying in the garage until i find out a bit more !

Thanks Guys

Are you running a PowerFC? If so it is detecting pinging and flashing the light as a warning.

If you haven't moved the CAS, changed the boost or anything else it is most likely to be a dieing fuel pump, but get a mechanic to check it out.

BTW no real danger running around at low revs/boost/load. Just don't give it some, pinging can literally kill a turbo motor in seconds.

Yeah its running Power FC , would 91 RON unleaded cause pinging , my misses might have put 91 in by mistake . pinch.gif

Top up with some 98 then put a bottle of octane booster in it that should help, if it gets worse it may be a bigger problem

Ouch... That is it. Due to a number of reasons which I won't go into here my R34 had some 91 RON fuel put into it (also runs a PowerFC with no knock protection). Results - dead engine haha. The one upside is I get to rebuild it better, but that has almost been 2 years in making so far...

Drive it really carefully, whilst continually topping it up with 98 RON fuel till its filled with it.

I wouldn't even drive the car. Get a siphon and pump that stuff out. 91? Lucky she didn't put E10... 3 successive blinks of the engine check light is a sign of detonation and it must be going hard out. Its not only about driving slow now, its also about not putting much load on the motor. If you tried to climb a hill with that fuel you will find it detonates.

Depending on your fuel reg setup, you could unhook the return and put that into a bucket/jerry can, then start the car and let it idle until it stalls. Hook the reg back up and put in 98 - easy as. Did it on my GTR when making the swap to E85 and it didnt take long at all. On a separate occasion did the same thing but used the ECU to turn fuel pumps on and didnt start the engine.

Putting a tube down the fuel filler to syphon the tank is damn hard with a GTR fuel neck and you wont get as much as the fuel pump will anyway. Food for thought :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
