Hey everyone,

I have a bit of a problem which i cant seem to find the answer to.

I bought a damaged r33 s2, Im a panel beater my self so i have fixed the damage on my own. Now i seem to have a problem with the car running with out a problem.

The engine starts but alot of black smoke just keeps coming out from the exhaust and it cuts out as if one of the spark plugs are not working (or a coil problem). I checked all the plugs and coils and they were all fine, then after letting it run for about half an hour to see if the smoke will stop the car just turned off on its own. So I changed the spark plugs and they were burnt out on the tips. When i put new ones i thought to my self i would change the oil and oil filter at the same time. So i did all that but still the same problem.

I dont want to keep the car running for a long period because my guess is that its going to burn the plugs out again.

I asked around and a few people said its my coils, but my own thoughts to that was then why would it be blowing all that black smoke? Then another person said it can be one of my fuel sensors, saying its burning too much fuel thats why my plugs were burning out. So i thought i would ask another mechanic and this bloke said that it could be my air intake sensor.

So i would like to get some help off anyone i can if possible. Thanks.

yeah well its super rich....so i guess thats a good place to start diagnosing from... check the base timing... also check the diagnosis codes from the ecu...

Hey mate,

would you know how to check the base timing or the diagnosis of the ecu, or anywhere in sydney i can get it done? I like to play around with my car my self and feel good about working on it so yeah

im no expert but try resetting the ecu...... its cheap and quick and you'll have a result in a few mins

to reset ecu unhook the negative battery cable and turn the lights on and press the brake for a minute to drain all the power stored in the ecu so it will loose all current memory stored in it.

(dont forget to turn off lights before connecting battery up)

also does the engine shake or sound like a wrx when idle????? if so then it might also be running rich and have a spark problem that may be hard to detect,,,,,

Check the pins in the coil plug - make sure you haven't bent one out of alignment.

yes yes i agree..... it it either the ecu or something to do with the coils im racking my brain here and they most plausable still.....

and since the car is ideling like a wrx and is shakeing, whatever the prob is is making the spark f**k up.....

also check the grey clips that connect to the coils, when i had my sparks changed the idiot mechanic just connected these clips but didnt clip them in place so they just vibrated loose after a few days and made my wrx sound......

should have done it myself the first time but i thought he knew what he was doing..... lol now i know how to do it for next time

Hey guys,

ok i tried the whole reset thing. the check engine light blinked 5 slow and 5 fast. so im guessing that means things are alright. But i also had a thought because of the car accident im missing a pipe for the intercooler? so theres a pipe coming out from the engine but not connecting to the cooler because its missing? im told this can also be a reason why?

lol thats funny :D

To build boost the turbo relies on the piping to transfer it to the plenum, if there is no pipe there you cant have boost and the motor is drawing air through that pipe instead of the air filter so the air flow meter is not in the loop, frankly I dont know how it is running at all.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
