hey Guys,

I have started cleaning up the wiring on my car and found the knock sensors weren't even hooked up. Now my car runs a Haltech ecu but i still would of thought it would need these to run, can anyone shed some light on this for me (esp where the sensor wire plud is suppose to connect to)

Look down the back of the engine on the drivers side close to the inlet runners.

And on further searching have found that they do not incorporate closed loop knock sensor control.

Future reference....www.google.com.au

Type - Does Haltech use knock sensors

Google is your friend.

Well maybe....

In the end if the tune is safe, you use good fuel all the time, your injectors are clean, your fuel pump is in good condition etc etc.

With skylines a standard ECU is the only computer that uses the knock sensor as input, it moves to a "safe" map when it detects knock.

PFC comes up with a knock "number" based on the sensor but does not use it in the tune. If it is knocking its up to the driver to back off.

AFAIK no other aftermarket computer uses an rb knock sensor

The Link ECU has a system where if the knock is too high, it will reduce the boost level until the knock is reduced. The Link ECU uses the factory boost controller to control boost up to 14psi.. COuld be more, not sure though.

bit of a question on this one...

assuming i'm using a stock ECU, is there any way to monitor knock?

I've got one of the Nissan Datascan units that Impakt (off these forums) makes that gives a readout of all the ECU parameters... the only one that it doesn't give that could be helpful is the knock readout....

any ideas?

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

      I think modifying any car, has to be because you like it, OR, you have an end goal to do XYZ. EG, build the fastest VW Golf in the country etc. So, if you're not setting out to do crazy things like break a specific record, or replicate some certain car, then as mentioned above, find the car that you really like, and modify it. Why? Well, modifying any car isn't a sound logical thing to do it. You do it for the fun of it. And if you want it to be fun, you need to start with something you really like. For some, that would be something like an R34 because they saw one in The Fast and The Furious franchise, for others it'll be something entirely different for some other reason. For me personally, why am I here, nearly 20 years later? I loved cars, all cars, and I wanted a car that drove a certain way, I was about to drop the coin on modifying a VR Commodore (Because I grew up in a family that taught me Commodores were the only cars worth owning). And just before I did that, a friend handed me the keys to an R33 GTST he'd just bought that was pretty much bone stock, it drove EXACTLY how I wanted a car to. Nice handling, the right amount of straight line zoom zooms, and hell, I loved the way it looked. I looked at the R32, it wasn't for me, I looked at the R34, it wasn't quite for me either, mainly because they were too expensive  Price is also why I never bought a GTR back in the day. But I loved the curves of the R33 GTST, interior suited me over the R32, and wambam, thank you ma'am! I bought one. And in the essence of "return on investment" and "Sound financial planning", I've been making the dumbest mistakes ever since. Also, I know of a specific mortgage broker on these forums who has a very well modified R33 GTST making great power for the street and track... Then you could modify it with adding a Samsonas gearbox, Bosch motorsport ABS system, and go have some sick fun! Oh, and then you'll be able to help him get me my next mortgage, because that, like modifying a car, is probably a stupid financial decision for me at this moment the property I want...
