Hey Guys,

I bought a 03 v35 350gton friday. and it has started troubling me already.

The car feels very smooth and has no problems at all. However, there is alot of white smoke. ALOT! when idling its there but small amount but when accelerating its really bad. Like a smoke bomb.

It doesnt smell sweet and doesn't seem like its coolant. Don't know though. The car feels really nice to drive. Has alot of power too.

I have premium warranty with it. so before i take it i just wanted to find out if any of yous have noticed this b4.

Can it be coz of bad fuel? maybe fuel in the car sitting for too long?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Vish.

Anyone live near bentley W.A who can help?

Its happening all the time. weather its hot or cold. i even took it for a long drive to get rid of the fuel and filled up with fresh fuel from BP(98) and no difference.

Its been serviced just a week ago i think. Bought it from Lynford Motors in Osbourne park. They even serviced it. but the oil on the dipstick looks very light. maybe they used a very light oil. Otherwise car feels fine. I am scared to drive it.

I want to take it to a import garage to change the oil but i am scared the premium warranty will get void as it states i need to take it to the authorized ones only.

any advice.

Just opened up the Oil cap and noticed sludge in the engine? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/369048-need-urgent-help/page__gopid__5883442#entry5883442

its now pissing me off. they mentioned they have done a 100 point check which included engine and oil condition. but they didn't notice the sludge. can i take it back and get a refund? or can they fix it up? is there any law that says they have to fix it if its only been a few days? i don't know what i am even saying now.

any help will be appreciated.

cheers.

i'd be taking it back to them and demanding it to be fixed or you want a refund. if they try and say that the sludge wasnt there when they did the inspection. kick them in the balls for me.

Head gasket cracked? Coolant mixing with the oil and probably has coated your radiator also. Hope it hasnt gone into engine internals.

take it back immediately. They wont give you a refund, but make sure they fix it correctly.

Thanx for the advice guys. i checked the coolant and its not moving.its been at the same place. And the coolant looks green and has nothing else mixed in it. cant see anything.

When i drive the car, its smoking whiteish and blueish smoke. but looks more whitish. and it smells like rubber burning. something like that.

I am just worried they might not fix it properly and that is the only car i have. need to go to work too.

Ah, will see what they say tomorrow.

Cheers guyz,

Vish.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
