I have an R32 GTS4 with an RB20DET w a VG30 turbo exhaust intercooler - chipped computer and Apexi SAFC.

When I peg the car and it comes on boost (about 4,500) I get a cloud of brown smoke. What is this - I thought that black / grey would be fuel and blue would be busted rings - but brown???

No i don't think that this can have anything to do with your headgasket... head gaskets blow white smoke.... or the make steam!

Check your timing and your fuel mixture... anything from gray to black is USUALLY related to running rich and your timing is firing early (or your timing is retarded, not stupid but made to fire early) Brown fits the disctiption of really early detonation.

go to your local skyline shop (in canada no one knows what to do with a RHD car so they freeze that is why i say skyline shop) and get that checked out.

post again let me know what happends

my car does the same,

because i just installed the boost controller,

and when it on boost, alot of black or brownish cloud of smoke, and smell of fuel,

I thought it could be O2 sensor.

Most probly its runing rich.

Off topic: is after market boost controller is illegal?

i got defect for it?

now I know, I gona hide it now. :P

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
