Intake done in December. I think the ping was before the intakes went in.

Even if it was after...wouldnt the ECU be picking up the different intake and adjust accordingly? I reset the ECU a couple of times since then.

Ping only at low revs...1.8k to 2.3k? higher revs/speeds no ping.

Nope, have not changed spark plugs/fuel pump at all.

Got the car Nov 2012. Car is a 2007 V36. Got it with 36k kms on the clock.

I'll try United P100 and see what happens. Will try to clean MAF and throttle body on the weekend and proceed to spark plugs and fuel pump if all fails...

Is there anything I am missing? Should I try stock air intakes?

Maybe try running some Subaru upper engine cleaner through it? Get rid of some gunk built up in there (and give you a nice clean intake manifold while you are at it - might not fix it, but for under $20 it is worth a try) My V35 ran beautifully afterwards

It also depends on where you bought it as to whether it really has 36k on the clock - it costs under $100 to get this changed. If you have more km on the clock, there are other things that could be more built up in the engine or things that could be wrong. Obviously at 36k it should be basically a brand new car ...

Ok ill try checking the AFM and the cleaner. I dump in Nulon Fuel System Cleaner and 44l of P100 last night. Lets see what happens over the next few days.

I bought the car on auction from Japan. It was checked for genuine KMs by computer system. Whether or not it's genuine, can't really be that sure but yes essentially the whole car looks brand new and nothing was modded or been touched.

Could the the timing yes, one of the more common causes...

Mine has zero mods, its just my daily and I haven't had it for long, but being a high comp engine with Japanese ecu tuning I'm not hugely surprised by the ping on crappier fuel. But I will look at spark plugs and intake clean soon

The Mirage on the other hand has been driving me nuts. I have changed the plugs, plug leads, dizzy cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, checked the timing, three rounds of intake cleaning (two at home and one with a pro machine) and full bench injector clean with new o rings etc... yet, still pings :rolleyes:

Next step - colder plugs and oxy sensor. No luck with cheap OBD2 adaptor either

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
