Hi was hoping for some help from people in the know yucky.gif

Lately when i give my GTR a squirt the engine makes a slight clattering noise and the engine light flashes on and off very quickly .

The noise occurs only at mid to high rev range about 5500 rpm to 7500 rpm

In the past before the issue with the noise , it did blow a fair amount of black smoke from time to time requiring a re-tune .

Could it be valve bounce ? I need some help !

My cars staying in the garage until i find out a bit more !

Thanks Guys

Are you running a PowerFC? If so it is detecting pinging and flashing the light as a warning.

If you haven't moved the CAS, changed the boost or anything else it is most likely to be a dieing fuel pump, but get a mechanic to check it out.

BTW no real danger running around at low revs/boost/load. Just don't give it some, pinging can literally kill a turbo motor in seconds.

Yeah its running Power FC , would 91 RON unleaded cause pinging , my misses might have put 91 in by mistake . pinch.gif

Top up with some 98 then put a bottle of octane booster in it that should help, if it gets worse it may be a bigger problem

Ouch... That is it. Due to a number of reasons which I won't go into here my R34 had some 91 RON fuel put into it (also runs a PowerFC with no knock protection). Results - dead engine haha. The one upside is I get to rebuild it better, but that has almost been 2 years in making so far...

Drive it really carefully, whilst continually topping it up with 98 RON fuel till its filled with it.

I wouldn't even drive the car. Get a siphon and pump that stuff out. 91? Lucky she didn't put E10... 3 successive blinks of the engine check light is a sign of detonation and it must be going hard out. Its not only about driving slow now, its also about not putting much load on the motor. If you tried to climb a hill with that fuel you will find it detonates.

Depending on your fuel reg setup, you could unhook the return and put that into a bucket/jerry can, then start the car and let it idle until it stalls. Hook the reg back up and put in 98 - easy as. Did it on my GTR when making the swap to E85 and it didnt take long at all. On a separate occasion did the same thing but used the ECU to turn fuel pumps on and didnt start the engine.

Putting a tube down the fuel filler to syphon the tank is damn hard with a GTR fuel neck and you wont get as much as the fuel pump will anyway. Food for thought :)

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
