Hi there peoples have a problem not sure if i have detonation or a misfire been having excessive blow by but its been doing that since i had a track day didnt have a problem with pinging or misefire if thats what it is. as soon as full boost hits its wierd sound in one sense it sounds like misfire and then it sounds a jar of ball bearings rattling can some one shed some light on issue >_<

the jar of ball bearings i would guess is pingin gor detonating. Thats very bad. Id consider lowering the boost and make sure u run high octane petrol. If that doesnt minise it try taking timing out. Realyl ur best option is to go to a reputable skyline tuner and have it cheacked.

take it to a dyno and get them to put a fuel pressure tester on and do a power test to see whats going on.

If you dont you will blow your engine to pieces.

BTW if you have blow by allready then you could have smashed some rings. do a leak down test.

my engine had lots of blow by and when i pulled it down 5 pistons had cracked / broken rings

Had a leak down test three weeks ago all cylinders except for two were at 15% the other two were at 55 60%

Old chestnut as they say but..........fuel pump failing?

Det is from running too lean, timing to far advanced or carbon hotspots on the pistons [igniting fuel before your sparkplug does].

when i had it dynoed the fuel pump was maxing out took the fuel return line off nothing was going back that was at 25 psi

looks like those cyl are leaking boost into the sump causing the blow by.

id look at re-ringing it and checking the pistons.

Ill be doing that in next few weeks pulling engine out putting total seal iron rings good for hi boost apparently changing rods to to argo rods get them real cheap $800 new replace bearings probably acl and get head flow tested and ported to suit the flow of hks t04z then change to surge tank and dual fuel pumps.

If all goes well hope to crack 400 rwkw fingers crossed

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
