My r33 gtst has a slight backfire when i back off the gas followed by a gargle, all coming from the exhaust. I have only had the car a week and it has always done it since then but i have put some injector cleaner in the fuel and it seems to now be worse. Is this normal for a skyline to be doing this?

I haven't seen a Skyline that doesn't do it :D

Edit: Oh, if it blows lots of black smoke, this too is normal and nothing to worry about. I met someone who drives a turbo Audi and he thought that all Skyline engines were in sh*thouse condition because of all the smoke he sees them blow, I had to educate him that it was just unburnt fuel because of running hella rich.

Hehe, speaking of scaring pedestrians, I once scared the shite out of some bogun fat chick in my old XY Falcon with worked 302 Windsor and no mufflers. A bunch of boguns decided to meander across the carpark in front of me doing 5kph. It wasn't a pedestrian crossing, so I got a bit pissed off especially since they were in single file and walking slowly.

When the last one (fat chick) was right in the middle of my car, I floored the accelerator and slipped the clutch a little to inch forwards about 5 cm. She just about shit her pants :O

Don't think I can get the same effect happening again with the 'line :P Well, maybe if I moved forwards 1 metre instead of 5cm :P

I drive a Turbo Audi - but im not that guy :P

'line engines are pretty awesome actually, i almost got one, but they got too common.

I know of one Audi A4 Turbo Quattro that blow a lot of smoke - but he has over 220kw at all four. So its a bit extreme. PS. watch out for him. :P

Does it sound angry? Yes? Then good! Mine consistanly backfires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear changes and often if i back off from higher up in the rev rang,Lovin it. The rumble under compression is a nice sound also. It can be controlled with longer slower gear shifts.I must admit a good Ffowing exhaust and rich fuel mixture increases this, and no cat! Oh did I say no cat? Thats illegal isn't it?? LOL

You don't want to much though as that can be cop bait...

RJB.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
