guys, does anyone know the reason for the black smoke under WOT . i got a friend to rev the car to 6000rpm (in neutral) and could not see any smoke . however when driving and i plant my foot , there is always alot of black smoke following. could this be the turboes? I thought it may have been the engine or rings but excluded this when i reved it in neutral. Is this common for gtrs ?

Car is stock apart from cat back exhaust .

thanks for the advice

i'd say it is due to your fuel maps. when you're in neutral and there's no load on your engine you'll be in a different part of the fuel map compared to when you're on boost, at 6000rpm, under load at WOT you'll be using alot more fuel which is why you end up with black smoke coming out of your exhaust (incomplete combustion results in Carbon).

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
