Alright so my r32 with a s2 rb25det started pinging at about half to 3/4 throttle in 3rd a little bit when i turned the boost up to 9psi with a boost t. I installed a adjustable fpr and up the pressure slightly to about 40psi. The pinging stopped but at a drift day i was at yesterday i noticed it doing it under hard acceleration in second gear. The car is stock apart from the basic fmic exhaust boost t and fpr. Any ideas on what could be causing it? Timing was checked a while ago and it was correct. Only started doing it since the boost was set at 9psi

factory base pressure for fuel is actually 43.5psi aka 3 bar so you're actually leaning out the car :)

Also if you want to fix your issue, time for an aftermarket ECU or a Nistune. Conveniently I have an Adaptronic 440D Select Plugin for sale if you wish to sort out your tune with an appropriate tuner.

This means you also can ditch your AFM, run any BOV you wish too.

Oh really? From what i read 43psi was the max you could go. Ill set it to 43.5psi and see how i go. I intend on getting a nistune but gonna pull my engine soon and freshen everything up before i get a ecu. 

Yep set it to 45psi with the hose off as stated above. Also imo you shouldn't be upping the boost on an rb25 with a stock ecu, many people do, however they run an assload of ignition timing from factory. If by any chance you are running lean then this can cause pinging very easily.

Hell i only run 10° coming onto boost ramping up to 12° on mine with an ATR45SS on 16psi. Stock R33 runs over 20° in some high load cells, I'd keep it at 7psi till you can afford to tune it

Oh i never new that. Thanks man

They might run a lot of timing at stock boost, but by the time you wind the boost up towards 10 psi the ECU starts to access the top right corner of the maps, where there is a shit ton of fuel and a massive retard of the timing.  R&R is built right into the maps.  Well, it certainly is on Neo maps, which I can see in Nistune, so I have no doubt that it was done that way on the vanilla ECU also (which I can't see in Nistune).  And even if it isn't done that way on the vanilla ECUs, it still happens.  So R&R is Nissan's self-protection mechanism to stop people from grenading stock engines.  Crude and effective.  But it can still all go wrong if the fuel pressure is not right (dud reg, or dud pump, etc) because lean will still ping, even with retarded timing.

Basically, it's not good to wind the boost up on them without having a fix for the ECU.  You can only squeeze a little more out of them before the fun police step in.  The worst thing is, you wind the boost up and it feels faster than stock.  So you wind up a bit more and eventually the placebo effect tells you that it's still going faster, but before too long any extra boost just results in massive fuel consumption and no more speed.

Yea i dont plan i winding it anymore i definitely do notice a little difference from 7-9psi though. But in saying that i dont thrash it round everywhere as it is my daily and like you said dont want to wreck my fuel economy. I get 500km out of a tank give or take 50km depending on how its driven.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
