Well, you can never be too safe can you...?

What the user from my above quoted text was saying makes sense though.

There is not much point in looking at peak vales. Put both basic knock and advanced knock in a chart and you will see they pretty much read very similar. There are some little discrepancies here and there, but gives you a better idea of the whole picture.

Below is an example. The red is basic knock and the yellow is advanced knock. I will make another one for you with a broader log.

Take the knock readings with a pinch of salt. Throw it on the dyno watch the exhaust and listen for ping. :)

Hi Cubes,

I know what pinging sounds like, but ive always wondered what to look for with the exhaust when knock occurs. I think it gives a puff of black smoke - if this is right, what would cause this? The air-fuel mix not completely burning under knock conditions?

Cheers,

Matt

Have they got your money gawdzilla?

Yes, they do... i sent money via paypal. Since they are a registered paypal vendor w/ good feedback, I figure it is safe. Plus, Glen and them aren't scammers or anything according to everyone I've spoken to. They are just slow to act, and customer service could use some work.

Whats funny is I got a confirmation email from Glen today saying it is shipping today. However, this is after I filed a complaint/refund request via Paypal (so that I could try and buy from some other vendor). Maybe that made him act faster *shrug*... but the item is on its way so I am satisfied for now. We'll see how it pans out. Sorry guys about the thread jack...

I'll tell my friend to do that too, we split the cost and ordred one and he hasn't got a reply from them yet. I think he wants to get his money back and wait for the English Apexi PFC software.... tho I don't think it will work with my RB20 pfc.

what the?

I paid the dude the money and he said he shipped them. How is this my fault? He said he contacted you directly and organised it with you.

I will send him and email, but I wouldn't be making threats, as thats not going to help you at all.

Sounds a fair deal. It's worth noting that there were no problems experienced by the rest of us in the buy, other than the (normal) lack of patience when some guys were getting theirs a couple of days ahead of others. No problem otherwise.

Hopefully the inquiry with shipping agent will get it sorted quickly.

cheers

one simple email, and I got this as a response -

"OK will do.

The package was insured, so will get onto our shipping agent and find out,

or claim it and re-send."

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
