Hi guys, i have a s1 r33 jsut got dynoed last week with 202rwk.

mods are walbro pump, FMIC 10psi pod, dump back exaust.

Now when i bought hte car i was driving it home down the toowoomba range in 3rd gear using engine braking. Iwas doing about 40-50klmhr whne i hav eit a little about 1/4 throttle and its dumped a big could of whitish smoke out the back for about 8 meters. Having just bought hte car 5 mins earlier i was stressing, at the bototm of hte range i stopped at a servo and checked the oit levels, i had to top up about 400ml of oil.

the car apparent had a rebuilt engine wiht foged pistons about 3 months before i purchased it.

On the 2 hour drive back to brissy i could not get the car to dump white smoke again.

Now fast forward 3 weeks later a mechanic "friend" of mine hooked up a catch can wrong sealing in crank case pressure. 20 mins after driving it on the highway i gave it 1/4 pedal to over take and it dumped white smoke again. I proceed hom top up the oit as it is down, notice the can is connected wrong. I fix the can plumping so now its a plump back can as it shoudl be.

Fast forward 3 months. I have no oil in the catch can. I have had it checked by 2 other mechanic and they cay the can is connected correctly.

I have slight oil smear in my cooler pipes i am guessing given the recent events i may have dodgy turbo seals?? I have noticed today in traffic at idle the car is fine but when i go to take of in first it gives a quick little cloud of what looks to be whitish smoke? it doenst do it thru the rest of hte rev rnage or at idle just a few times when i took of from the lights?

Any ideas what coudl be causing this smoke out the exhaust guys? i am hokping just turbo oil seal??

By the way the Catch can still has no oil in it so i dont think blow by is a issue for me at all.

??

thanks in advance.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
