High Nock When Accelerating In A Higher Gear

Hey,

Lately (more so than ever) I have noticed my nock sensor on the Apexi power FC has been going through the roof if I accelerate in like 5th. It jumped up to 133 the other day on the freeway. I nearly spat chips.

I can go as nuts as I like and the nock never really gets over 30 but if I try take off in second (say you were just about to pull up and the lights turn green) and give it some gas, sure enough the nock goes f**ken crazy.

My odo is at around 94k so I'm thinking she may need a 100k service a bit earlier. Obviously a bit much stress on the engne.

Any ideas?

Higher gear means more load. Unlike some ppl who can get incorrect knock readings from dodgey senders or noisy setups, you are most likely experiencing the real deal.

130 is bad btw - don't hit it, and get it checked ASAP

Yeah bad ha! The time it hit 130 or so was on the free way and I accelerated in 5th from 80 to boost. I shouldv'e changed down first.

I dropped the oil and changed the filter which has done her a treat. She has not gone over 25 now and thats over a 2 hour drive. I'm going to get her re-tuned in the next few days. $ just been a bit tight which sux. Not to mention the missus who's cracking it over the neglect on her civic while all the $ pour into the skyline. eh i'm like a drug addict. lol

cheers for the advice.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz 路 Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
