Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone has come accross this in the past and can offer some advice.

My car was stock standard, and every once and a while (maybe 20% of the time i gave it a flogging) I could clearly hear the engine pinging all through the rev range. I later put a big exhaust and bleed valve to crank up the boost, and had it dyno'd and tuned to hopefully fix pinging. On the dyno it ran fine, but when driving it still pings about 20% of the times i floor it.

Has anyone come accross something like this and can offer some advice as to likely causes? Thanks.

(Skyline R33 GTS-T Series 2)

ur cas would be too advanced, injectors could be slightly blocked, spark plugs arent completing combustion, blah blah blah.. theres quite a few reasons why engines ping..

as above changing the tuner would be a good idea, and make SURE you mention u want the pinging problem fixed.. dont jus take a chance that theyll know its pinging as when they have the car it may not do it for them..

:P

Thanks guys.

I will book it in and see how they go.

What petrol are you using? it could be as simple as that. These engines need to good juice, dont be buying the local sh!t on the corner. u need a 98RON fuel e.g. BP ultimate. i had the same problem when i first bought my car and wasnt using the top stuff, and it only ever pinged when i gave it some revs.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
