ok, so my r32 gtr has blown black smoke pretty much since i've owned it. its only visible when it gets up past around 5k revs, but even if i don't do that and just drive sedately, by the end of the week that back of the car is pretty black. obviously the first thought is that its running rich and so far, its had a tune with a pfc, and afr is at a very lean 12.5 and had injectors checked and cleaned and its still blowing smoke. any ideas anyone?

also, i'm noticing a massive drop in mileage. i used to get 450k's from a tank and now i'm getting about 380 but that's only recent. its always blown smoke though so i don't think the two are related. cheers guys, any ideas would be handy!

I find with my GTR that when the oil is fresh and i have cleaned my pods I have a pretty clean rear bumper, after about 3,000 k's she gets that black beltching crap all over the place.

I do my service at maximum 5,000k intervals and it real makes a difference

btw my ar is the same 12.5

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
