Thick smoke pouring from exhaust

[DAN00H]

Danooh- I will certainly let you know and congratulations on your car...  

I didn't hear any noises but it did misfire between 5K and 6K rpm's.  I picked up the car and it was completely out of fuel.  I filled it to the top with BP premium.  I drove it for a good 60km's before I had the problem.

how 'big' was the misfire? was it a hesitation/cough, or more of a backfire? check your fuel filter - could be as simple as a blockage.

was the car pulling hard before it happened? I haven't revved my car over 3000rpm (free rev) as I want to go right over it.

I bought it redline engine and gearbox oil the other day - so will be changing that before I actually take the car on the road. My car ran out of fuel on in my drive after we took it off the back of the truck - I will changing the fuel filter as well.

hopefully it is more of a minor thing with your car

sounds like what happened to my car ..... blue smoke .... all down the 1/4 not purdy! Compression test was performed and piston 4 is really unhealthy.

damn another perthian, and even better, A CHICK!!!!

ummm if it was blue - your rings are well and truly buggered

if it was black - your running really really rich

if it doesnt want to start, then your probably gonna find either a piston's jammed and/or a conrod is jammed also

either way, your gonna be up for big bucks for some1 to look at it

Skyline Performance Imports haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

One other thing that I can recall is that when I turn the car over I noticed that the oil pressure light was on.

There was no backfiring it was just misfiring.

How long has it been since the cars been started? I assume a long while.. the fluids in the engine oil etc wouldn't have been too good ?

OK

It has been confirmed that the car requires a full engine rebuild (around $8K)

I was unknowingly driving the car on full boost (close to 30psi) which resulted in the damaging of the rings and pistons. A very very expensive lesson to have to learn...

One of the problems with buying a modified car... you don't know what the guy before you has done... Mmmm 2 bar boost... I don't think that even if you had changed it back to ~12-15 whatever standard GTR boost is that you could have saved that engine... the guy who sold it in japan obviously knew it was on the way out (which sucks for you) and i just hope the same won't happen to me when i get my 93 GTS-t.

welcome to the rebuild club! they took my engine out .... apparently i broke 5 pistons Hope you have a very generous bank manager ...... but its a lot of fun once you get it back .... go the forgies!!

Pilot boy .... never seen you around before! hello.

If it makes you feel any better, a friend of mine imported a very clean looking R33 GTR, shame it didn't have engine when it got here...

:lol:

sorry dude but that's too funny...

[twoquik]

I reckon its probably because the car has been sitting for so long, take it for a bit of a drive clean it out, but dont rev too much just incase.

I hade the same problem once, my car been sitting for about 4 months, started to drive it and heaps of smoke came out, after about 1k it went away.

Even funnier, it cost more than the same amount as one with an engine. And no, he's no my frind anymore...
