(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think that was a legitimate speed camera flash because it seemed to come from the other side of the intersection? Then again, I don't remember another flash and my car is in this photo Speed camera flashes have traumatised me for life. If that's your 32 Jamie, it dumps quite a bit of smoke when you're giving it stick! Mr. Windsurf (Andrew) said the same thing... O2 Sensors might need changing again.

Birds Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Does it use the O2 sensor when you're full throttle? Could be too thin an oil or worn piston rings / turbo seals. Can't remember if black smoke is oil or fuel burning.

vspecIInur Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Seems like you guys had a good time. I remember having screamer with no o2 sensor at all, running super rich. The smoke behind was pure thick black. Spark plugs were struggling.

Birds Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Adam, yours blows a fair bit under load, but every car will do something on full throttle...I don't remember noticing anything as much as I did Jamie's. Sounds like you do need a tune Jamie Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353906-sau-movie-night-5-11th-march/page/10/#findComment-5716912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 ^^ A stock ECU can be tuned? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353906-sau-movie-night-5-11th-march/page/10/#findComment-5716939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nar you'll have to Nistune or PowerFC for a dyno tune...but I meant "tuning" as in getting everything running right. You might actually have an underlying issue as to why it's running rich under load. On light throtle / cruising it's usually an O2 sensor...but this might be injector, spark or timing related? Nothing to be concerned about unless it's fouling your spark plugs, it'll just use more fuel and might not be as powerful as it could be if it was running leaner Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353906-sau-movie-night-5-11th-march/page/10/#findComment-5717031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
