ok - as pm'ed to Sydneykid:

Firstly, I will describe my car:

Series1 R33 GTS25t

Mods:

HKS EVC4

3" Turbo back zorst

CAI pod filter

NGK coppers @ 0.788gap

Cleaned induction system - AFM, TB etc.....

Ok, when boosting at 3000rpm/0.82bar i get a slight ping, only audible between those concrete barriers on the highway. I turned it down to 0.76bar and its ok. Whats causing the ping at low rpm? I've done a search on SAU and can't really find any specific info applicable to me. The problems i can think of are:

1. Dirty injector(s)

2. Tired fuel pump

(dont think it the first two coz it seems to be ok up high @ 0.76bar)

3. Turbo is getting hot at those low rpms (fix with FMIC)

4. Just bad fueling/timing coz of stock ECU (temp. patch with adjusting the CAS or get an SAFC as a temp. fix)

5. Blow by gasses leaning it out?

6. Try a colder plug (what do you reccomend for my application)

Could I just reset the ECU so it will learn the increased air flows?

Ross, Are you 100% it's a ping? I run BCP7ES plugs, there a heat range colder than the 6's, gapped to 0.7mm. Stock pump could be going, but you'd expect it to happen under full-load. Might be worth getting injetors flow-tested. Blow-by is more likely to happen at high-rpm.

I'd get it on a dyno, and make sure that it is a ping, then look at the AFR's there the most likely indicators:D

Thats the only time it audible - when the sound bounced off a wall. What else could it be? I think your suggestion for a dyno si the best, that way I can see EXACTLY what the problem is. Hate to buy an FMIC and find out it was just a dirty injector eh.....

    • I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.
    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
