My r33 gtst has a slight backfire when i back off the gas followed by a gargle, all coming from the exhaust. I have only had the car a week and it has always done it since then but i have put some injector cleaner in the fuel and it seems to now be worse. Is this normal for a skyline to be doing this?

I haven't seen a Skyline that doesn't do it :D

Edit: Oh, if it blows lots of black smoke, this too is normal and nothing to worry about. I met someone who drives a turbo Audi and he thought that all Skyline engines were in sh*thouse condition because of all the smoke he sees them blow, I had to educate him that it was just unburnt fuel because of running hella rich.

Hehe, speaking of scaring pedestrians, I once scared the shite out of some bogun fat chick in my old XY Falcon with worked 302 Windsor and no mufflers. A bunch of boguns decided to meander across the carpark in front of me doing 5kph. It wasn't a pedestrian crossing, so I got a bit pissed off especially since they were in single file and walking slowly.

When the last one (fat chick) was right in the middle of my car, I floored the accelerator and slipped the clutch a little to inch forwards about 5 cm. She just about shit her pants :O

Don't think I can get the same effect happening again with the 'line :P Well, maybe if I moved forwards 1 metre instead of 5cm :P

I drive a Turbo Audi - but im not that guy :P

'line engines are pretty awesome actually, i almost got one, but they got too common.

I know of one Audi A4 Turbo Quattro that blow a lot of smoke - but he has over 220kw at all four. So its a bit extreme. PS. watch out for him. :P

Does it sound angry? Yes? Then good! Mine consistanly backfires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear changes and often if i back off from higher up in the rev rang,Lovin it. The rumble under compression is a nice sound also. It can be controlled with longer slower gear shifts.I must admit a good Ffowing exhaust and rich fuel mixture increases this, and no cat! Oh did I say no cat? Thats illegal isn't it?? LOL

You don't want to much though as that can be cop bait...

RJB.

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
