Oil/Black residue out the exhaust :s

I have recently purchased a R33 series 2 gts-t. It has 150,000 kilometers on the odometer with 67,000 on the the gear box (has been converted to manual form previous owner). It has a few small issues ( as every car has) and was wandering if you guys could help clear some things up...

First- Oil and black residue shoots from the exhaust, not much smoke but its still concerning...
Second- Everything works in the dash except for the actual tacho that reads the speed im travelling, I have chased up a speedo sensor ($200) but was wandering if it was something silly first.
Third - how often should i service it and is there anything else needed to be done except the bog standard; filters, fluids and brake pads...
fourth - Any random tips or advice would be much appreciated :)

Does the black residue out the exhaust only happen when its cold? Mine does this, think its just moisture in the exhaust coming out, bringing soot from the exhaust with it, so black spots on the garage floor

Speedo sensor goes from the gearbox to the dash then to the ECU, so either something is unplugged (there are some plugs at the gearbox then I think they run through a plug next to the relay box in the engine bay). If everything is plugged in, maybe pull the speedo gear out and have a look. Its been converted so maybe the previous owner missed something or did something a bit dodgy

Might be, it seems to be a common thing [emoji28] that and it's also been sitting for 3 months... guess I'll drive it steady for a month or so than take it in for full major service...

As for the speedo I checked and they did put correct speedo sender in but forgot to connect it properly... loose behind dash cluster. Was annoying to find but I had fun learning around my new pride and joy :)

Servicing....depends, if its standard and just going to be a daily driver, every 10K, if its boosted and/or your pride and joy every 5K.

 

When was the timing belt last done??? Could be way overdue???

 

Lastly tips.....you found here so read, read, read and search, search, search.

 

Also have a look at the Forced Induction Dyno Results section, plans start from there!!!

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By blind_elk · Posted

      My understanding is that UV tends to accelerate the aging process. If the car has been garaged, then you could probably get away with extending beyond 10 years. FWIW, in 2015, I had tyres on my 180B SSS that had a 3-digit code (2 for week, 1 for decade), ending in 0, so could have been more than 30 years old, but still worked fine. I did replaced them very quickly, though, once I discovered what the code meant!

      But we haven't even gotten to the point of talking about stateless controllers or any of the good stuff yet!

      You guys need to take this discussion to another thread if you want to continue it, most of the last 2 pages has nothing to do with OP's questions and situation

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      And this, is just ONE major issue for closed loop control, particularly using PID. One such issue that is created right here, is integrator wind up. But you know GTSBoy, "it's just a simple PID controller"...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Nah. For something like boost control I wouldn't start my design with PID. I'd go with something that originates in the fuzzy logic world and use an emergency function or similar concept. PID can and does work, but at its fundamental level it is not suited to quick action. I'd be reasonably sure that the Profecs et al all transitioned to a fuzzy algorithm back in the 90s. Keep in mind also that where and when I have previously talked about using a Profec, I'm usually talking about only doing an open loop system anyway. All this talk of PID and other algorithms only comes into play when you're talking closed loop boost control, and in the context of what the OP needs and wants, we're probably actually in the realm of open loop anyway. Closed loop boost control has always bothered me, because if you sense the process value (ie the boost measurement that you want to control) in the plenum (after the throttle), then boost control to achieve a target is only desirable at WOT. When you are not WOT, you do not want the the boost to be as high as it can be (ie 100% of target). That's why you do not have the throttle at WO. You're attempting to not go as fast as you can. If the process variable is measured upstream of the throttle (ie in an RB26 plenum, or the cold side pipework in others) then yeah, sure, run the boost controller closed loop to hit a target boost there, and then the throttle does what it is supposed to do. Just for utter clarity.... an old Profec B Spec II (or whatever it is called, and I've got one, and I never look at it, so I can't remember!) and similar might have a MAP sensor, and it might show you the actual boost in the plenum (when the MAP sensor is connected to the plenum) but it does not use that value to decide what it is doing to control the boost, except to control the gating effect (where it stops holding the gate closed on the boost ramp). It's not closed loop at all. Once the gate is released, it's just the solenoid flailing away at whatever duty cycle was configured when it was set up. I'm sure that there are many people who do not understand the above points and wonder wtf is going on.
