ARTZ replied to MIdnight_R33's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain

Issues With R33 Gts-T White Smoke, Fuel Smell, Rough Idle
ARTZ replied to r4ymond88's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
did you notice the car getting worse as you drove it....seems strange that it would lock in such a short time.. were you trying to start it again for a while? -

bad fuel smell and smoke could just mean your car is running rich for some reason or another..if you keep running it rich your plugs will foul and fuel wont ignite. Though I have never had one lock before, how long were you trying to run it like this as dvs said try run it without spark plugs and clean the plugs while your at it would be a start.. But for future reference when your car is running rich, driving it wont usually fix the problem, im guessong but id say you have hooked something up wrong and its sucking in extra air so while your afm is getting one reading the o2 sensor is getting another so it has added a heap of extra fuel to compensate. Then you tried to drive it and now its locked.. So you have turned a little problem into a big one Moral of the story is, when your car isnt running right, dont drive it -

My apologies but when i saw the price i lold so hard i honestly didnt bother reading any further.. BUMP!!! -
that could just mean the apprentice left out the air filter or played around with the tuning, something silly like that actually made the car go better but was possibly detrimental to its health/warranty which is why she was called back in little things can make a big difference to someone in tune with their vehicle..After changing back to a lighter weight oil and getting a slight adjustment to the toe-in on my wifes car it almost feels like it did when we bought again.. before that she was starting to complain it was getting too old cause it didnt feel as responsive and was darting all over the road when it hit a bump.. Its no placebo its our senses telling us it is running better than it was, even if only so slightly.. I have plenty of friends that choose never to service and their cars just get worse and worse

this..

acrylic man, 2 pak needs to be baked..though we could probably do it if there is no acrylic option if they can do it in pressure pack would be easiest..if not we will have to gun it..
-
yeah same..get a proper (plug in the wall) battery charger, bunnings has them cheaper than auto stores, I got a fairly decent one with an engine start option on it as well for about 60-80$.. my battery has gone flat numerous times..but after a good overnight charge its good as new..
-
yeah I'm feeling it...

Black with flames ?

can of spray putty 15$ can of undercoat 10$ can of clear (maybe) 10$ masking tape 2$ some paint?? go to paint mobile get some matching paint in acrylic, if you cant get a pressure pack we can touch up the scratches with an airbrush and polish it will be close to unoticable.. sling us a few bucks and we can polish the whole car if you like. or maybe you could just wrap some stuff for me we can do it next weekend Charles if your not happy you can bitch to everybody on the forum what a shit job i did.. that bonnet lip would be cool wrapped in CF though

heres a silly little true story about not servicing your car.. old mate gets a brand spanking new 2005 model ute on lease arrangement, he has never had a new car or even a good car for that matter just keeps buying old bombs until this ute.. gets first service at 5000kms at mazda for warranty purposes .continues to drive the car then gets another service at 40,000kms at some backstreet mechanic.. continues to drive the car.. @ 110,000kms (just out of warranty of course) because of all his rubbish (empty ciggy packs etc) piled up on his dash doesn't see the oil light come on and pretty much runs it dry and all of a sudden clunk clunk clunk..suspected big end bearing..fills it with oil and continues to drive despite sounding like a tractor, drops it at mechanic who thinks he can fix it charges him 600$ to pull some stuff apart but cant find the problem.. however after filling it with some nice thick oil the noise quietens down to an acceptable level and he continues to drive it. @ 180,000kms its running like absolute shit and wont start at times..i tell him to get it serviced..he replies with "it doesn't need servicing it just wont start" I give up arguing with him over it cause he doesn't want to listen..A week later he rings me stressed cause his car wont start and he has to go to work, I say whatever man get it serviced..he calls a mobile mechanic who comes out and puts new spark plugs in it for the Grand total of.. wait for it.. 160$ could of got a complete service for that with enough change for a 4pack of woodstocks and a packet of horizons.. but this was a temporary fix..he then starts complaining that its using too much fuel, i tell him it probably needs a new air filter hes too dopey to do it so i take him to the servo and blow the dust out with a compressor, he is amazed by his new found response and extra 20km per tank fuel economy.. it rattled its way to about 200,000km before it was repossessed, the only thing that was ever changed on the car was the oil and filter about 3 times then continuos top ups after it went clunk a ,2 sets of spark plugs, 1 set of front brake pads, 2 s/h tyres and 2 old tyres I gave him which is a pretty good effort really

nice one brudda

totally beat me to it..

That could actually work too, carbon wrap both bumperss and the skirts..Its a bold move though thats the problem with 2pak paints they are a bitch and expensive to fix.they dont just scrub out like acrylics the chip and crack so you cant just rub back and patch a section you pretty much have to repaint the whole panel..
