Hey guys and gals.

I'm a first time skyline owner and first time poster. I've recently purchased a very modified r33gtst. It's had extensive work done on the motor and impossible for me to list all the modifications but I'll try.

Fully forged rb25 only 20000kms old.

Cp pistons

Manley rods

Crack tested block machined and decked

Recon and hiflowed head

Massive garret turbo

Greddy forward facing plenum

Greddy fmic

750cc injectors

550lph fuel pump

3 1/2 " tbe

Microtech lt12s with a maffless tune with just over 300kw at on 18psi.

And that's only what I know about the car.

Now I'm having a couple of issues right after buying it. It blows a lot of smoke on full boost and there is a very strong non fuely almost chemical smell after you give it a bit of a boot. I've spoken to the guys that done a pre sale check on the car and they said that the motor is still brand new and has 160-165 psi on all 6 cold and hot.

Also it's first start of the day it runs very rough for about 5-6mintues then clears it's throat and all is happy again.

I used to own a heavily modified Subaru and know absolute jack poo about Nissans let alone a maffless tune. I have suspicion that something maybe wrong with the car with all the black smoke it passes the strong smell of something on full boost and these horrible cold starts. Despite having spoken to nearly everywhere the car has been worked on in the last 5 years and being assured it's fine by the likes of boost works jaustech southern performance and a few others. I still think something might be wrong. How much smoke is normal for this kind of turbo car? If anybody could shed some light on this or if anybody I'd a maffless tune guru please give me your 2cents. Any help is much aprectiated.

Could be a few things with the smoke, first what color smoke is it?

If the valve cover breathers are done incorrectly as a lot of people tend to f**k that up for some reason it could cause smoke on boost.

To much oil pressure for the turbo can also cause smoke iirc.

Just to name a few

Fuel smell in oil, black smoke on fill boost - I'd definitely say she's running rich. Also cold starts may be terrible because it's running excessively rich when the temps are down to keep the engine running. First thing I'd recommend is to get the tune looked over by a tuner who specialises in microtech ecu's.

Well thank kcuf it's nothing major.

Thanks for the input guys. Will have to get it retuned shortly. It was tuned at the end of august by one of the most reputable tuners in Adelaide.

I'll take it to Sean at boost works.ive heard that man can do wonderful things.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
