Well I was just cruising along, and there was a weird burning smell then BANG! a loud bang, i thought it was just backfire, but now the car has alot more power and when it gets to like 80 its alot noiser as anyone who has this car would know, the engine is very quiet

I don't want to tell my parents yet till i know what it was, and if i tell them they wil probably think i was speeding or thrashing it

The next time your Mum takes the car out, offer to go with her. She'll think you're a good lad!

Then as she starts to accelerate, you already know what it'll do if it hits 80, so get the rubber mallet ready.

If she doesn't go over 70, wait for trip back home. And on the way home, get the rubber mallet ready.

Even if she only gets to 70, ya hit the door panel with the rubber mallet and she'll say, "What on earth was that?"

So you ask her to pull over. Lean under the car and tell her what you've learned from SAUer '116.hks' "I think it's the cat!"

She says, "Where's the cat - is it hurt?"

You say, "It's what is the cat - not where's the cat? Don't you know anything????"

...you know the rest!

...you're safe!

This is one very good sounding plan.

Another option it to hope they don't really care about the extra noise and enjoy the extra power

yerh that would be nice :D

so its not bad to keep driving the car?

The only option now is to kill your parents and burn their bodies in the car. It's harsh i know, but it's unfortunately the only plan.

Or you could spend a couple of hundred bucks at a mechanic to get them to replace the cat, but that's a stupid idea.

Show some respect for other people, especially your parents, and stop thrashing their car.

i wasnt thrashing it... i was behind a slow indian so its hard to thrash a car at 40 k/m

and thanks PM-R33 so it should only cost a few hundred?

lmao and burning the car isnt a option :D

go to your mum and tell her that something happened.. obviously a POS camry lol

tell her to take it to a mech for a diagnostic.. get her to ask the mech if thrashing caused the prob.. mech should be able to tell that you did/did not thrash the car

if you indeed didnt thrash it then you have nothing to worry about.. then tell her since you were driving the car at the time you are willing to chip in as she is such a lovely lady and the greatest mother in the world for allowing you to drive her car

if you try hide it and she finds out then she's gonna suspect you trashed it.. then she'll spank you

haha yerh i told her, and my dad thinks it was because i was thrashing it :(

but my friend who works at toyota as part time apprentice said camrys arent ment to be put on gas (mum brought it dual fuel as it was a ex government car so lots of highway kms) because the compression rate is too low

so i think that would have been the cause as the car is run on gas 99% of the time

thanks heaps for your help guys, yerh she will take it after new years cos she will be on holidays by then and il pull the nicest mother in the world line when the bill comes in ;) haha and then chip in

    • The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I can do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free.
    • If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.
    • The funniest part I saw, was someone would bitch and moan on FB about something, Andy would be the one to respond, asking for more info, if he could contact them, what the engine setup is, what their config file was, and 95% of the responses were people just going "der! It doesn't work" and Andy going "What doesn't work?" And then going "The firmware!" And they'd go around in circles as no one could ever give information, and Haltech couldn't fault things on the bench, (especially when people wouldn't give any specifics).   Many moons ago, when Andy was back at e420c stage, he reached out to me, and asked me to test different plug and play looms for him (already had an e420c in the car on his V1 PNP loom). And he kept asking me, as I was competent enough to be able to give him some specific feedback on what was/wasn't working, how to replicate the faults etc, and work through things with him. Most people are terrible at answering the questions they're asked, or being able to provide quality feedback other than "it doesn't work".
    • I say it often, none of this stuff is really Skyline-specific per se. But in general there's not a lot of people who actually know what they're doing. A lot of people charging like they do. Agile software development probably isn't the greatest idea for an engine controller.
    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not! It's well within the service manual specs...but they are very open
