To bring up an old thread again just to get rid of confusion... i realised i get black smoke explosion sorta when i start to full throttle and it doesn't constantly give out smoke as i accelerate on the same gear...Is this what you guys are calling normal safety richness?

lol my gtr does the same thing, it came with two blitz bovs venting like a fat kids lungs with a muffin on his plate. i get black smoke two, i find the bigger the kecktik dose, the more smoke. dw man, plumb it back and all should be good...

been meaning to plumb mine back, but ahh, what do i plumb it back too?? i hope its not the intake because the bov's are on the drivers side of the car on the cold pipe from the cooler...

not only will it throw the black cloud but you may not realise that often you will throwing small fireballs out the exhaust also between gearshifts..Looks cool and all but definately a defect sticker

It pretty much normal to blow a puff of black smoke, I have seen an R34 GTR hammer it and yes a puff of black smoke came out.

Its sorta normal for turbo charged cars. Cuz you full throttle it its like giving the car a sudden burst of fuel. U sorta burn off alittle fuel also you will burn off alittle bit of oil. Again normal.

Something along those lines LOL, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You probley won't see it with ya stock exhaust on cuz its been restricted by all all the bends, baffles what-not. But with ya high flow exhaust, which I assume you got you will see the smoke/flames... Thats why its called GODZILLA!!!

oH~ well minez not GTR :D so its not Godzilla lol but skylines are skylines so i guess its normal :)

ah also i only have a cat back exhaust and it doesn't shoot fireballs out the exhaust but do make backfire sounds...im certain its the BOV anywayz

your only half right.

its normal for stock turbocharged cars with mild mods and stock ecu to blow black smoke. however a modded car with a decent tuned ecu shouldnt blow excessive black smoke.

If you have a cat or not also makes a difference and how often you give it a boot full..

When mine was inbetween cats if I were not to give it a boot full for some time when I would it would blow the carbon black dusty shiet out everywhere.

Quizzed my tuner at the time and he said I must be driving it too soft. :D

After the first full boot there would be no more black haze. I've also seen this on the dyno; I hadn't given the car a full boot for a good 300-400km's on the dyno it went and black crap on the first run. :)

Mines running mid 11's through peak torque and then richens up slightly to near flat 11's by peak power and behind the car its clean no black fuel smoke or what not. At night i can see a bit of a haze if im on it a little but thats to be expected; you can't 'really' see it when outside or driving behind the car.

your only half right.

Thanks Simon-R32 :D

Funny you say that watch a jap movie of GTR's over in japan they blow out so much smoke and they are massive hose power machines. And they can tune them beta then as so i guess it's quite normal.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
