Can someone have a look at the video below and tell me what's going on I believe the piston rings may be gone or something else. In the video there is epic smoke coming from the exhaust when I step on the accelerator and smoke coming from the oil catch can.

Car: R33 GTS-T Series 1

Any help would be appreciated :miner:

Yea there has to be a problem because the ECU is a microtech and the answer for a problem is add more fuel but yea as for the catch can thats all it does is smoke and i dont want to run the car for to long in case a build up occurs and does more damage and its directly connected to the blow by hose using a t-connector thats the only line for the moroso catch can.

it could be your turbo my stagea dose the same thing took oil cap off and was smoken realy bad its being fixed atm and the turbos stufed.

you could take your air filter of and look down pipe to see if any oil down there,and maybe your cooler two.

thats if its even the turbo.

the rules for exhuast smoke are

black- too much fuel

blue- oil

white- coolant

so if you have a turbo problem it will most likely be your turbine wheel. but it is definatly fuelling up big time

Burnt oil is blue smoke, unburnt oil is black. So if the turbo's got a bung seal and its spewing fresh oil into the exhaust side, it'll look black.

ur problem is a piston problem..... i had the same problem when i got high boost white smoke out exhaust...... opened dipstick and oil cap and smoke coming out....... one or more of your pistons has fkt up and thats whats causing it....... and the oil in the cooler piping isnt the turbo its the crack in the piston rings allowing oil to drip down into where exhause fumes are and spraying out ur turbo....... Mine got that bad that instead of my Blitz BOV release pressured air was releasing oil haha.... your looking at engine re-co if you get it done get forgies too extra 300-400 and well worth it

    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
    • I ordered it this morning, I'll disassemble it post pic's and info following delivery.
