pinking..

[umpkin]

mani gaskets are ok, tis deffo det im sure.

i shall take on board what you said shaun. ill put in the super next time.

standard timing is 15dbtc. I would keep it at that but always run 97ron fuel or higher as instructed by nissan. Only time i put 95 ron in is if im motorway driving long distance and dont intend on coming onto boost or high rpm at all.

If you fit some new cold plugs and use super unleaded im sure the pinking will go away.

You may find that your fuel pressure regulator needs changing if all else fails. They are common faults that alot of people dont realise they have.

yeah already had one reg go before, so it could be, i shall have an inspect and see

Cheers guys.

dont use 95 it even says 97 on the petrol flap get some optimax in and never look back

[s12Rob]

autodata says they need 98 ron as std, not all super is 97. i allways use tesco 99 with castrol lrp suppliment with octane booster, acts as a anti det.

cant blieve u run 95 on 11psi, u running an ic?

[umpkin]

yeah cozzie

[PukkaSilvia]

if its been fine since now there is not any reason why it suddenly should be any different. Swapping to super unleaded wont solve the problem,it will only hide it. Try the plugs first i would say mate.
Your car should be fine on 95ron. Just use super unleaded if you fancy a thrash

sorry for the hijack, but how do you test a fuel pressure regulator to see if its working?
