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.

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
