As the topic states,

I was wondering if anyone here in adelaide has a USB consult cable they wouldnt mind lending for a few days. I would be happy to leave a deposit of a few $$ if you like.

I just want to log data from a reasonable drive so I can get an idea of what my car might be up to. It's running very rich ATM (black soot all over back of the car) and I want to try determine what it may be.

Cheers :blink:

Cheers for that. Was trying to find someone who had one for their own use to avoid paying for dyno time etc.

If no-one has one, will probably take it to Shaun at Boostworx to figure it out, but would prefer to have a look myself. :domokun:

so, Anyone have one?

yeah mate I have one you can borrow.

Problem is you need software to run it - I ended up buying Nissan Data Scan. Unfortunately I use my laptop every day for work so I can't lend it to you too.

PM me if you want to grab the cable.

i think i read somewhere if there is black soot on the back of your car that it is burning oil??? could be wrong though.

have you ever put a fuel injector cleaner through your car = lots o black stuff!!! lol made my car run perfect after though, i can give you my mechanics number if you want to get it done. its sooo worth the money.

Well I don't think its burning oil, but just running very rich. I had a compression test done when I bought the car 2 months ago, 140 accross all 6 cyl so rings are all good.

When I bought it I put new NGK- BKR6E 11 Plugs, Motul 8100XCess oil, Nissan Filter and put through a bottle of Redline injector cleaner. Since then its been slowly getting richer and richer :S Its at the point now it's starting to "pop" when coming off the throttle.

It still pulls very hard, and there is no smoke out the exhaust, so I'm not sure if some sensors have had their day.

Black soot will always be there due to the nature of unleaded fuel. Ever notice a car these days that doesnt have a black coated exhaust? :action-smiley-069:

if u can remember back to the leaded petrol days the nice grey exhaust was a good burning petrol.....or like 1 person on here who uses high octane in is thumper 3lt (not me)

Nah it's still running stock boos :S Anyway, Andrew (Nightcrawler) will hopefully respond to my PM, and then I'll at least be able to log some data on the sensors. Give me a bit more of an idea I hope.

I took the plugs out on the weekend and cleaned them as they had gone black (fouled) on all 6cyl, but it didnt seem to help. Wondering if I should go back to the suggest plug temp rating of 5 seeing as its on stock boost. But then again, I have an EBC I was going to install in a few weeks and give it 9-10psi (as its still only stock cooler) but will definately need 6 temp plugs.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.

      Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D.

      @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
