Hey guys and gals.

I'm a first time skyline owner and first time poster. I've recently purchased a very modified r33gtst. It's had extensive work done on the motor and impossible for me to list all the modifications but I'll try.

Fully forged rb25 only 20000kms old.

Cp pistons

Manley rods

Crack tested block machined and decked

Recon and hiflowed head

Massive garret turbo

Greddy forward facing plenum

Greddy fmic

750cc injectors

550lph fuel pump

3 1/2 " tbe

Microtech lt12s with a maffless tune with just over 300kw at on 18psi.

And that's only what I know about the car.

Now I'm having a couple of issues right after buying it. It blows a lot of smoke on full boost and there is a very strong non fuely almost chemical smell after you give it a bit of a boot. I've spoken to the guys that done a pre sale check on the car and they said that the motor is still brand new and has 160-165 psi on all 6 cold and hot.

Also it's first start of the day it runs very rough for about 5-6mintues then clears it's throat and all is happy again.

I used to own a heavily modified Subaru and know absolute jack poo about Nissans let alone a maffless tune. I have suspicion that something maybe wrong with the car with all the black smoke it passes the strong smell of something on full boost and these horrible cold starts. Despite having spoken to nearly everywhere the car has been worked on in the last 5 years and being assured it's fine by the likes of boost works jaustech southern performance and a few others. I still think something might be wrong. How much smoke is normal for this kind of turbo car? If anybody could shed some light on this or if anybody I'd a maffless tune guru please give me your 2cents. Any help is much aprectiated.

Could be a few things with the smoke, first what color smoke is it?

If the valve cover breathers are done incorrectly as a lot of people tend to f**k that up for some reason it could cause smoke on boost.

To much oil pressure for the turbo can also cause smoke iirc.

Just to name a few

Fuel smell in oil, black smoke on fill boost - I'd definitely say she's running rich. Also cold starts may be terrible because it's running excessively rich when the temps are down to keep the engine running. First thing I'd recommend is to get the tune looked over by a tuner who specialises in microtech ecu's.

Well thank kcuf it's nothing major.

Thanks for the input guys. Will have to get it retuned shortly. It was tuned at the end of august by one of the most reputable tuners in Adelaide.

I'll take it to Sean at boost works.ive heard that man can do wonderful things.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
