Hi all,

I have a problem with black soot on my rear bar. It has always had a bit on the back, car is white, but has gotten worse since buying the car 6000km ago. I wash it take it for a 20min drive and it is covered again.

I have had the AFR checked and they were supposedly spot on. The cat still seems to be working properly as it doesnt smell like raw fuel.

What else could be causing this? It seems to do it worst when I take 2nd gear to the redline, I can visibly see the smoke out the back.

Car is:

96 33GTS-t

FMIC

PFC

Split dump to 3 1/2 after cat

HKS Pod

Bleed valve at 12psi

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Has to be the tune, or a leaking injector or two or a dodgy fuel pressure reg.

anyway your AFR must be way out to be seeing black smoke out the back of your car while moving. How do you know that the AFR as ok?

you may possibly have a gutted cat, i no that this is common when the insides of the cat are bashed out....could maybe just need a tune as others have said

my mate has (we are pretty sure) a gutted cat or callapsed cat and his car is filthy on the rear. his afr's are 12.0:1

I've been behind a stock 32 GT-R and a modded 33 GT-R (PFC), and they both exude a lovely black cloud when "nailed".

Stop running to red-line in second, and you might at least reduce the problem!

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
