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.

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
