Hi guys,

As the title says im having some trouble with my 33 and have been for some time now.

When i was out one nite i decided to give it a bit of a fang, lit the tyres up bounced off the limiter n then lost total power.

After that the car would not idle at all, when i was slowing down and coming to a stop it just wanted to die. Also it blows heaps of blue smoke now (not 100% certain on colour but will update you all tomorrow in the light),

Well i thought it was turbo, so i pulled it out and had a look at it. Compressor wheels look fine, no dints no shaft play ncie n tight. Dump pipe, front pipe, intercooler the lot.

Then i went back and fitted everything back in, making double sure everything was connected properly especially all the hoses/pipes, also replaced dump/front pipe with BATMbl's 3" splitter, cleaned sensor screwed in dump pipe (o2 sensor?), also looked at afm (z32) n looks nice n clean.

Fired her up, idles nicely now at 1000rpm or there abouts, but still blows heaps of smoke.

I have as of tonite put in the power fc but wasnt able to start her up caus its got no bloody oil, so ill wait til tomorrow to see if this may fix it

Any idea what the problem is/could be?

Cheers in advance

Shane

I plugged in the pfc and took some fuel out and now doesnt blow any smoke, but idles like u wouldnt believe, shudders like a mofo and wont rev passed 4000rpm

so its off to mercury motorsport on tuesday to see whats the problem

Well got it back from mercury yesterday.

They had a look at everything and said the problem was that the spark plugs were only done up finger tight and there was heaps of carbon build up on them.

So they replaced them and tuned my power fc and they said it was running heaaaaps rich, now she runs nice as and dynod up at 180.2 rwkw :)

Thanks for all the help guys :P

    • 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.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
