Fuel Issue - Closed

[Impact]

err hey.

so i got my skyline 2 weeks ago. ive since done a oil change (motul 300v) oil filter change, and replaced plugs (iridiums) as there was a missfire problem.

so on way home today, i gave it a bit of heavy foot to overtake this truck before traffic in the right got to close for me to move over.

after i overtook him and slowed down i could smell fuel..

my friend thinks its running rich?

any help much appreciated

mods? tuned?

Hi mate, Tenagah are offering Power Runs for $50, get it on the dyno so they can measure the air fuel ratio. Most Skylines run rich with the stock ECU

[taipan73]

If it is a stock ecu then it will just be running rich, my GTR often has a fuel smell. Wish the missus would stop finding ways to spend money so I can get an aftermarket ecu

[Impact]

yeh stock ecu.

ive got intercooler, back end of exhaust, splitfire coil packs, iridium plugs,red stuff break pads, remote start n thats it as far as i know

o and bilstein shocks

mm running rich, yeh thats wat my mate said. he also said itl lean out once i get full exhaust.

another problem found today.. only jus put those red stuff pads in , 100k's ago. was hearing squealing sound before i changed.. 50k's after change, started hearing it a tiny bit when breaking to stop at lights.

and within the last 20k's its been getting worse.

what is wrong now?

Maybe nothing is wrong with them.

If they are a fairly hard compound pad they will squeal. Anyone with Hawk Pads will confirm this. haha

i think they must be hard compound. there good pads from what ive been told. was $400 for 1 set. put em in the front.

I doubt it's going to lean out by doing more mods mate, you'll need to buy an SAFC or aftermarket ECU to let you adjust the fuel, otherwise just live with it. The stock ECU will add extra fule to make everything safe.

Did you skim the rotors before putting the new pads in?

[Impact]

um nope. my mate put the pads in. jus took olds out n put new ones in.
