thanks, i checked down below there, it all seems connected, i even tried seeing if theres power coming from the wires from the relay and power windows, my tool lights up. its the first time taking my door card off so its new for me.

the last few days the alarm has been working fine but the central locking stopped working, i can lock the doors with my key but takes time locking and unlocking. i dont know the alarm system came with the car, its a aftermarket system and has a immobiliser. i have been trying for hours to search this and found that its a actuator, or change the locking system, or its the relay. if anyone knows or has had it happen, let me know so i can fix it right away. 1993 R33 GTST 2door. cheers chris

hmm well i had two sets of problems with the car... noises coming from here and there. The hitting noises were the fan hitting the intercooler pipe making the *tinging* noises .... thats fixed now..... and 4 out of 6 spark plugs were just absolutely f**ked..... i did buy NGK plugs.... good buy, fixed the misfire. currently driving the car at 2500 - 3000rpm. Everything seems to be fine ATM, but you guys have commented on the timing and cam belts, so i will be replacing them when i can.... i have seen the belts and they have seen better days.

it was making that noise heaps when hitting around 4000rpm... and also the pinging noise was just the intercooler pipe hitting the fan. ive replaced with a shorter bracket which pulls it away from the fan and sits nice and close to the timing cover. i have fixed both problems but im in the proccess of getting a dyno and buying a timing kit, water pump cam belts. i am doing my best here in researching and learning more about the car.

no need for a timing belt, timing light gave me a good reading...............sparkplugs were the problem...... so when ever has a pinging problem..... check spark plugs

.......im getting a dyno....getting the timing fixed and worked on tomorrow.... cheers for comments

im running V - power which is 98 octane fuel.

was hoping it was the spark plugs in my mind but have a feeling its not. plus when its idling and about to move forward in 1st.... i can hear a belt squeek in a way, been testing it while holding the brake and letting the clutch out i can hear it more......... its never done it before til this pinging noise..... this car is my daily car, be hard for me to get around.......... imo ....its really annoying

i have and i also have found this : R5671A - 8 for my sparkplugs........has anyone used these ones before? Someone had the same problem and recommended them so ill give them a try.

yeah well i need to find good products that will give me more than say 12months + not something i will have to fix in 2months. Been driving the car steady, just want to fix this pinging noise at 4500rpm. I have seen a few vids on youtube but doesnt specify what the problem was.... i have splitfire coils but on forums says they dont break..... thats whats in my mind..... $500+ for a new pair, just dont want to start thinking its them in a way........been doing some homework on parts, prices etc.....but rather work from the simplest job to the most expensive. any feedback is greatly appreciated. and anything that has worked for you guys.

i never go below quarter of a tank of fuel always full, i do watch the boost gauge never goes past 10psi, i barely hit that mark when the noise comes, dont want to ruin the car....... and it doesnt run hot, sits on below normal tempt. does it in the cold aswell, took it out for a 1am cruise and it still did the same. i have seen the AFM is abit dirty and worse than wear so i might look into replacing it, also did check one spark plug but my cousin said if its sparking and starting then shouldnt be a problem, even with the coil packs (his a hands on mechanic) but this thursday ill be pulling it all apart and having a closer look.....also been looking into buying NGK iridium spark plugs priced at 100.

i do have a nissan store down the road from me, do go there mostly all the time, but they are pretty over priced on things...... just for a plenum gasket is around $100 and i saw on some other parts site for a plenum gasket for $40.

thanks heaps.. yeah ill check the timing belt and CAS on thursday when i have my day off, ill keep you posted. .hrm ill look at buying a timing light, not sure where to buy one on the sunny coast but ill do some shopping, also do some quotes on getting the timing and water pump also. when i bought the car, the guy said that he didnt know about the timing belt, he had it for two years but got it serviced though..... said the coilpacks were brand new and same with the fuel pump, so i elminated them..... but not sure if i should trust his words.... ill keep this updated then

been thinking about buying a timing light would be easier incase its not the timing.

i meant by the timing itself, not the CAS..... but ill check the cam belt in the next two days. how much would take cost roughly?

i havent been thrashing it, i have posted something similar to this about a month ago, and ive been working pretty hard to find the problem, rather fix it than thrash it and bam redo an engine. im not sure about the timing, ive had the car for about 3months and the guy said he done the timing but in my mind.....he hasnt......theres no sticker on the timing cover stating otherwise........ if its fuel related then i have started with one...filter...can pick up another pump for 150.

hi guys................ ive done some small research on this and have done some DIY jobs trying to eliminate problems with the pinging at high revs........ driving half throttle (normal driving) is good but when u get into high revs just pings alot i have replaced the fuel filter..........also checked spark plugs and the coil packs (splitfire coils) i also have a walbro 550hp intake fuel pump. Just trying to eliminate small jobs, could be timing but its around $1500, dont wanna spend that if its not the problem. could also be other minor ones. IE plenum gasket, injectors If anyone has fixed or known a problem let me know so i can fix the job right away. thanks guys Im driving a 93 R33 running a r34 turbo (10psi) Stock ECU, splitfire coil packs, walbro 550hp fuel pump just to name a few mods. Any ideas wold be greatly appreciate thanks chris

yeah ill have a good look in the morning for signs of cracking and damage. I did get a chance to look at the misfire thread, has good information and i will find out more when i check out the car properly. Yeah learning heaps atm due to this thread and others. Thanks heaps again. I will post more info when i find out more

i have a r32 actuator and its set at 10psi. Thanks for the comments, means heaps to me, i am still learning and reading information does help. I will get a chance tomorrow and check the spark plugs and the splitfire coil packs. See if theres any cracks etc etc. I do believe it hasnt had a tune, so ill save and get one done. Will try and lower the boost down see if that heaps me in any way. Thanks heaps guys. ATM i dont have a boost controller, the car just came as is with the r34 turbo bolted on. also i am running a walbro GSS 342 fuel pump.

I will keep in mind of what happend. I have splitfire coil packs so ill check out the thread. They are about 3months old. Thanks heaps

do believe its back firing from the dump pipes. probably need a new fuel filter. took it for a drive and its not doing what it did previously. its running smoother than before. running to 7000rpm without problems. I will try to post a video up. I did make a mistake in putting vortex 95 instead of 98. did let it run out today and filled it with 98. Dont know if that was the case.

haha thanks for the comments in a way, it feels like redlining at 4000prm and when i push it further, doesnt run as smooth, jumps and the car pulls back at 4500rpm if that makes more sense. i brought the car 2months ago and the guy installed the rb34 turbo on it. so unsure what happened to the one that was on it. never had a problem with it til now. Ive never experienced this before and im all new to this. Never had this problem before in having the car, thought it might be something. ill run the car again and update the post.

i have a 93 rb25det running on 10psi lately its been sucking in air through the engine and blowing from the exhaust, feels like hitting the rev limiter at 4000 rpm. anyone have any idea or a solution that could help me identify this problem. its running an rb34 turbo.
