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

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
