Sorry to ask the question everyone else has been asking, but mine seems a bit different.

Under light acceleration the car seems to blow a bit of white smoke, but when you accelerate hard and prob a bit after full boost (around 5000rpm or so) a big black ball of smoke comes out the back (just 1) like a cloud and then theres no more.

The car seems to still have its power (ran 13.2, stock 33 gtr), apart from that the only noise I started getting from the engine was a slight ticking when the car was first started in cold after an oil change, but was told this is just because of the thin oil (motul 4100 turbolight)

Do you think its an engine problem, or just running rich in top end and will be sorted with some tuning?

I have a PFC but ive been waiting till after I get the new turbos and other pieces on to get it tuned.

Sounds fine.

 Just the wastegate opening letting exhaust gasses out.

 

 I'd say white smoke might be from the oil getting hot and thin.

So he listens to your advice, then blows his motor....Good idea there mate.

All i can say is go get the Power FC tuned ASAP. Dont wait to do it later, unless you can afford a full rebuild....

Usually -

White smoke = coolant or blown ring land

Black smoke = excessive petrol

Blue smoke = Oil being burnt off

None of these is a good thing to have

We'll you never no i could just be the thin oil,

but what he described is exactually what happened to our project R33 on the dyno. white smoke after the run.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
