Hi there.

I have a Skyline R33 Gts-t that won't start easy when it's warm. Starts perfectly when it's cold.

When it get's a little warm there are heavy black smoke from the exhaust at low rpm when i hit the accelerator. It also knocks on high rpm. There are two error codes on the ECU, One for the knock censors, and one for the temp cercuit. I have changed both temp censors.

What could it be?

The car is standard except from an open air filter and cat-back exhaust.

Petruski, Norway.

Black smoke is usualy a fuel thing... Check the usual things like fuel fillter, fuel injectors, injector raling, oxygen sensor, take a look at spark plugs... Knock sensor... What type of fuel you running? The car should be tuned for AUS spec fuel when it get to AUS...

Skylines can do that, like starting the car up after getting warm, takes a few more seconds whilst turning the key to get it started. My mechanic told me its a fueling thing, but didn'd give me the whole story. Its normal but you having a heavy puff of smoke, I'd get it checked out.

I drive on 98 octane, and i'm from Norway :yes: When the car is warm it could take up to 20 sec to get it started, and if let of the accelerator, it will stop. It seems like there are to much gas coming in to the engine, and therefor the sparkplugs are getting smutty. What can i check for on the o2 sensor? And is it two or one of them?

We don't have so many Skylines in this country, and there isn't any shops that know anything about it.

Thanks for your reply :)

Ah ok Norway LOL! You ppl should have pretty good fuel so thats not a problem.

I'll have to clarify with my mechanic, could might be an ingnition thing too...? Check the alternator...

GTS-T only have 1 O2 sensor from memory, it checks the air/fuel ratio, so the car doesnt not run too lean or too rich.

Ok saw my mechanic, from my understranding, ckeck all the the regualr stuff, fuel fillter, fuel injectors, fuel raling, spark plugs, alternator... Should be all good. Then go back to the ECU, if it is saying knock and temp sensors are coming up with errors then thats the starting point = check it out and change both sensors, which I think you said you have done.

Reason for the car having trouble starting up after warmed up is becuz the temp sensor cannot tell / make a reading of how hot the engine is, therefor does not know how much fuel to pump, therefor you having to push your accelerator down to pump the fuel, which leading to your spark plugs getting smutty / flooded.

If you have changed both temp sensors, go back to the fuel injectors, are they leaking / clogged?

If ya done all that and still no good let me know and I ask what else might be the problem... :laugh:

See how you go.

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
