r33 GTR - combustion knockings, burning oil smell??

Hello,

I am experiencing sometimes combustion knockings in my r33 GTR especially on cold weather on heavy load during the night

When i drive during the day on sun i dont have that problem but my car goes way slower at high temps, i think this is normal...

On the night it accelerates much faster getting cold air and then i have that problem, hear the knockings (not always but sometimes )

My car was tuned up to 500HP on dyno at profi garage. On the dyno we did not heard any knocking, it got more than 20 dyno tests.

So it looks like my engine is living its own life. Why is that happening and should i worry about it?

When i hear this knocking sound sometimes i take my foot of the gas pedal immediately ofcourse, everybody tells me this. But i want to race my car hard on the track soon so what can i do with that problem?

I was already at 3 different tuners and always have knocking at high HP between 450-500Hp. Below 450hp there is no knocking problem even during the night ;/////

My engine is rebuilded, forged pistons and rods, OEM head. custom exhaust manifold with  Borg Warner EFR 7064 T4 A/R 1.05 Twin scroll turbo. Tuned on LINK G4+, siemens injectors 650cc, Everything was bought brand new, invested shit load of money in that car and i dont know what to do with that. 

I already did 50 000 km after rebuild so the engine is still running very good for almost 3 years now.....

Also i am experiencing lately big engine oil consumption. it takes 1 liter per 1000km. And i dont see anywhere any oil leaks. f**k!

I have checked  pressure on cylinders, its ok....

Maybe head gasket.....i dont know, i dont see any leaks on the block etc....

Maybe the seals on my turbine got messed up already? I can smell the burning oil on heavy load. When i dont go on boost and drive at stable speeds i dont smell that strong oil burn..... What do you think about all this. Any ideas? The smell is so heavy that driving with open windows is really pain on my ass.

My car is getting on my nerves lately and seriously thinking about selling it after all my hard work i done to this car. Three f**king years struggling with  everyf**kingthing and end up burning oil somwhere and knockings i dont know why. What the f**k!

Oh yeah o forget to tell, my friend told me to sell this f**king RB26 engine and change it to RB25 NEO. What do you think about that?

Its also AWD and he said much better with maitenance and once is build for a track purposes, about 500hp is a one strong matherf**ker. I am thinking to give a try with that maybe during the winter....

I went for a night drive tonight and guess what, no a single knock....yesterday big knocking like in the row one after another. how do you explained that?

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
