People,

Just thought I would share this with you all as I'm trying to find out what happened to me last night whilst driving my car.

Last night I was driving home from work "enthusiastically" (not speeding of course) and heading down the freeway when I noticed my "Check Engine" light flashing, which is basically the Power FCs warning light for those of you who don't know. Basically...I think it was beginning to detonate as the knock meter registered something like 81. Not good.

In the end I had a quick look at the readouts from the FC and it basically stated that the injectors max duty cycle was only 70% and the AFMs had only reached 4.7volts. Still enough fuel, afms left.

What the hell could have caused it? The car has had a rough "clean up" tune and is running stupidly rich (10afrs) but why would it still register this knock reading? I have done everything I can to make this car as "safe" as possible but far out...

Car has never done this before? Should I be worried? Car has forged internals.

All I can think of is shithouse fuel?? I had am empty tank and just put $10 in it to get me by just before this happened, so this is the only thing I can think of, as I have heard BP Ultimate can come in very "inconsistant" batches.....

So with the following:

- 10 AFRs

- Enough injectors left

- Enough AFMs left

- and Max timing also at 35degrees, nothing crazy.

... what could it be?

Fuel pump maybe? Bad fuel?

Anyone?

      Looking for parts for 2003 V35. Specifically a working OEM stereo and passenger side window motor.

      Thanks to @V35_Paul there is an oem stereo available on gumtree, but the fascia is slightly different. It has a flip up screen as opposed to my pop up screen. Am I able to disconnect the radio/cd player from the fascia to use it on mine?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Had to google what a quart is lol.. so rough as guts a litre. That's a bit excessive, also what oil weight are you running? The whole steam cleaning idea isn't too far fetched either. Maybe as you suggested, turn off the WMI (assuming your Kebabtech pulls timing, boost, etc.) and run it for a bit and see if there are any noticeable changes in spark plug colouring.

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.
