I noticed my V35 pings quite a lot. I had it tuned by a very trustworthy guy who worked on my Zed and pinging in a turbo engine is a real worry but not so much in an NA. Anyway he said the computer on the V35 has everything tied up so he can't adjust it.

Has anyone else noticed excessive pinging?

cheers

Geoff

I was in a roundabout in Sunbury yesterday and I momentarily about to start but saw a car that suspectly going to turn my way so I brake, then saw the car wasn't, so I accelerate again quickly and had a tyre chirp than a rattling kind of noise ta ta ta ta, is that the one you're talking about? or is that my ESC turning on? it's happening too quick I didn't have chance to look down and see if my SLIP light was on as it's too dangerous to do that in the middle of a busy roundabout.

Did your mechanic check the timing Geoff? Is the timing adjustable by rotating the CAS like on the Zed or is that also controlled by the computer? Shouldn't be out of whack I know but it might have been fiddled with by the previous owner. And I assume you are running with 98 octane fuel.

if anyone fiddled with mine it will most likely be Nissan dealer doing the 50000km service.

does anyone have info if the timing on V35's VQ35 is the same as local 350Z ? as I suspect nissan would have used 350Z's data to perform any engine related service.

hey mate that is just your traction control / VDC kicking in.

has happened to me a few times as well when my previous tyres were bald and in the wet

I seem to get pinging on mine a bit too... haven't quite figured out the cause. Seems to happen at low rpms when the car is coasting in gear then i get back on throttle...say under 2k rpms. It also occasionally happens during same coasting in gear to back on throttle but over 2k rpm so e.g. 2400 rpms. Anyone noticed these cars are really sensitive to heat ? Or is it just mine lol =/

I get exactly the same symptoms as Touge Kyousou above but in a VQ25DD engine...

in that case I have not experienced the pinging...

although it happened like a rattling engine sound 1-2 second after the car haven't been started for 2 days.

is that cos there's no oil in the valvetrain/head?

Correct - that is the lifters you can hear

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      GTR front looks good. If you don't like it, I'll swap you a rolling shell R33 for it. Give you a fresh base to start with.

      soon I also prefer the old look. At least I have more clearance for wheels up front now.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
