Gd morning :yucky:

well dismorning, i got ready for work... and roughly 10mins before i leave i start my car to warm up so when i jump in i can just go :) i do this every day!!! so did the same today!!

i didnt see no smoke all the way to work, :S i mean i kept it off boost and didnt touch a thing since yestday

car temps where normal and so was oil pressure.

i recalls doing my service 'oil change n filter' just after boosting it!! and recall the oil being slighty over the mark =S

and my rocker over flow pipes are stuffed i rekon... coz i noticed the pipe that goes up n into the inlet had a small amount of oil where the rubber 'which is more hard like plastic' LOL joins the metal pipe.

so could be blocked and just unblocked itself n burnt it :S

i aint sure... just wierd how my SKYLINE is okay

Gaz

Yeah, my car it was kind of similar.

There was no smoke only sometimes.

After driving did you check your dipstick too see if theirs oil in it?

nah its a 15min ride... lol pretty sure it wuldnt use 5litres in that time and only 10km ride to workies

+ oil pressure was good

=( gonna clean the PCV tonite and fit new breather pipes :P

Haha yeah tell me how it goes :(

With my car everything was fine too,

just a weird exhaust note like a coil pack was busted.

I checked the oil and it was empty just after i topped it up.

Then the next morning i checked it and it was all there.

Very weird, but i think because of the blow back into the cooler

pipes. After when i took apart my car and sat my cooler on it's side

a whole puddle of oil came out =(!

yeha man i checked my oil used about half of a dip stick...

valve guide seals???

or?? i mean smokes when u let it idle then pull away or few light REVS

:wub: pretty worried... i lift of the oil cap, it doesnt spit out... if anyfing it draws air in...

so i am sure it aint the rings!! compression test is happening the w/e still!!

i mean from the exhaust i can smell something else burning... not just fuel/heat...

probably oil..

:worship: GaZZa

will check more when i get home from TAFE

********************* 10:30pm ****************** UPDATE BELOW !!!

erm after returning home from tafe i let the car sit for 20mins and checked dip stick... was fine

omg RAWR!!! so i spent all afternoon taking out the plugs and checking them!!!

well plug 1 was fairly loose kinda had signs that it wasnt sealing rite but other then that

PLUGS 1-5 where grey, no wear or nuffing.

then i pull PLUG 6 out

and the END IS WHITE/ really really light grey 'more white'

any answers for that???

and i also had a look at the top of pistons, through the holes... 1-5 'matt grey' and number 6 looked to be damp/liquidy on it :S

ended up wiping sum of it... culdnt really tell if it was fuel/oil or water :S

maybe the white plug hints something???

thanks Gary

P.S not much smoke happening now... please help me... loosing hair / sleep haha

Yeah thats what i thought tooo

and thats what i have read on the net... too lean 'too much air' or overheating on that one

anyways here is pictures

take note or the name of the pictures 6-5-4 'is plug order on pixxey' and 3-2-1.

and check out the spark plug hole pics also below:

POT 5 ' all apart from 6 looked like this'

POT 6 'Last one'

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa26/Ga...rkPlughole6.jpg

any ideas / tips would be great

thanks :dry:

NOTE ** wow didnt realise how over captured pot 6 is lol isnt like that 'looks oilly in pix', its just wet/moist in real'

+ plugs are grey/ish --> not as black as pictured**

silly camera phones

'omg BS >< if it was pistons wuldnt u be burning oil.. n wuldnt it be worse @ cold start '

i had this exact problem 2 months ago, piston 5 stuffed and it was burning more oil at cold start and plug was white and others normal.

by the sounds of what you said piston 6 is gone. go to a mechanic to confirm. bottom end definately stuffed, best of luck with it anyways mate.

Get it booked in for a leak down test.

Will reveal all. :S

The white tip is not a good indication.. What does the ceramic look like?

yeha i will, what places should i call that are in W.A for leakdown test??? can a mechanic do it?

the plug looked very white on the tip, then went grey towards the end 'ReF picture'.

Ceramic center insulator was fine, no damage, melting or deposits.

had a look @ ur pics.. looks like ur burnin oil in no.6

see it all the time @ work (engine reco place) and urs doesnt look all that bad thou...

its not ur turbo. if it was, ud know about it. trust me, they dont blow lil bits of blue smoke.. when they go.. they blow massive amounts of white smoke.

it looks like the oil control ring is on its way out and that piston is mighty dirtty lol lots of build up on it :(

okay i'll get a comp test on that cylinder mainly then bud

thanks ;)

at lunch today i went to a few car mechanics and that, they rekon its either taking in air somewhere, inject is blocked/dirty = not enuff fuel in number 6

making the rest run rich.... coz ECU is like need more fuel!!

BTW the smoke i got told looks grey/white :S lol spose it does... i mean i dunno

BTW does a leak test damage anyfing? or hurt fragile seals??? dont wana get 1 if it will blow CRAP!!

Thanks every1

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
