On a GTT R34 tonight ive been thrashing around abit on 11 psi boost with everything else stock. One stage at high revs around 5500rpm ive heard like "sand hitting my car" or "something rattling" and it was loud enough for me to hear it but wasn't as loud as ive expected if it was pinging. How loud is pinging supposed to be?

Also when i stepped on it full throttle to see if i hear it again, i couldn't hear anything like that so i wanted to know if once my car starts to ping then should it keep pinging everytime i step on full throttle?

Thanks in advanced guys.

Once your motor is hot + hot weather + heatsoaked intercooler, pinging is more likely to occur. If you have thrashed it a bit, it will be likely to ping then because its hot. Doesnt mean its going to ping every time you step on the throttle from now on. Bigger intercooler will help stop it from happening on hot days. + higher octane fuel also helps.

I was using high octane fuel all the time. Also i thought GTT bloody intercooler can take up to 200kwrw and it was only 11 psi boost. It was at night time so it ain't so hot either, i just don't know whether it was the pebbles on the road or if it is coming from the engine itself.

Ive been told also that 'too little petrol' could cause pinging under load.

Well my petrol was on the empty line but regardless ive still gave full throttle up hill right before the petrol station, could this be a reason why it pinged as it wasn't such a hot weather during the night time?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
