ok when im driving and i rev it to 5000 rpm it makes this weird noise its almost like its tapping out but it taps out really fast like brbrbrrbrbrbrbrbrbr lol its never happened before so if u know what it is or could be then please let me know

also when i got my exhaust put on i asked them for a decat pipe so they just welded in a pipe but that sensor that goes into the stock cat yer they didnt put that in should it be in there or doesnt it really matter could this be my problem?

the tapping and brbbrbrbrbr is the engine detonating / misfiring

stop loading the engine up, stop loading it up on boost and find out the cause

likely causes

- boost too high

- crap fuel

- broken vac lines etc

- mangled boost controller

- poor boost control

- unlimited boost

- issues with fuel delivery - too lean, pump dying, rail shagged, injectors shagged

when did it start?

what did you last change?

what ecu? what boost control?

what other mods?

so your using a boost controller of some sort?

I thought it might be detonation but its to hard to tell... can u desecribe it any better?

Does it push through the miss or does the miss at 5000 stop the car from reving any further

Just put as much info as you can think of up here and ull get a better answer

even if you think its pointless information just put it up anyway.

sounds like a rev limiter at 5k lol. coils wouldn't be constant enough to literally hold it at 5k. neither would fuel delivery or boost problems.

think you need a better description. if it intermittently cuts out then it could be any of the above but if it drives perfect up to 5 then holds it there....

yer it runs fine up until 5000 rpm its like a car tapping out but faster tapping if that makes sense i dont really hold it i mean like as soon as i hear it i back off or just change gears so i dont know if it goes away or stays but i f*kin want it gone bad how can this be solved like can i put the car on a dyno n find the problem or do i have to just keep replacing things until it goes away

nah it happens whenever i boot it i mean it just started happening on sunday and i kinda didnt pay to much attention but it happened again today in third gear so i havent actually driven the car to see when it happens cos im to scared that sumthin is gonna f**k up

you'll only get guesswork here because it can be so many things... sounds like something you should be taking the car to a performance car specialist/mechanic for. Get it on the dyno and let them figure out what the problem is before it becomes worse.

no it's not a 'ping coming from the exhaust'. I'm sorry but there is no such thing.

a hole in the exhaust will not cause an engine to ping, nor will it cause a missfire, nor will it cause the engine to cut at 5,000rpm. all it will do is leak exhaust gas which will make the car sound like it has an exhaust leak.

it's pretty hard to diagnose over the net. take it to a mechanic.

yer i took it too boostworx today and they said its probably missfiring so ill get them to get it on the dyno

but today i drove it too see if it would stay at 5000rpm n not move or once it got past 5000rpm it would be fine and it didnt do it at all so i dunno whats going on there

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
