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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
