There is also a kind of scorn reserved for those who do the twin system exhausts etc. to stock holden sixes and other non-asian made cars. It is the same illness that effects the 'rice boy'. The strange desire to put a hornet bonnet scoop (not ducted to the underbonnet) on a 4cyl torana is the very same sickness. It all comes down to the owners firm belief that deep down his/her car is faster for the effort.

Beware of playing the same game as the 'trev'. Don't be drawn into a counter culture that likes the 'cheap wine only comes in 5L' stickers. Instead appreciate 'all' performance. It is a truely sad day when the 5L V8 powered whatever kicks your arse whislt you have one of those stickers and believe me there are a few around that WILL kick your arse.

well my mate in his "HYPER' excel twin "PHAT" exhaust, lowered n mags (also spoiler thats bigger than the actual car)

said he was a rice burner, cos he burns on lancers......

2 months later he wrote off his car, slaming into a pole, he said the car was to fast and powerful for him, and wen he said he tried to "drift" around a corner, his back flipped out and lost control.....

i just smilled and said, yer i no....there hell fast aye mate, did u have a kappa sticker on it?

Cool thanks dude, do you know if a knock sensor can be installed on a rotary?

short answer: no. I don't know

long answer: my understanding is that the "knock sensor function" of some bolt on electronics or even the plug and play stuff is that the knock sensor is actually pre-existing and that these just take an electrical feed.

In the R33s, the nock sensor is used by the computer to retard the timing in the event of detonation.

Therefore, my advice would be to check the wiring diagram on the car. It will probably have a knock sensor already.

if not, then you need to ask someone who knows what theyre talking about - probably in a thread related to what you're asking about.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
