Oil/Black residue out the exhaust :s

I have recently purchased a R33 series 2 gts-t. It has 150,000 kilometers on the odometer with 67,000 on the the gear box (has been converted to manual form previous owner). It has a few small issues ( as every car has) and was wandering if you guys could help clear some things up...

First- Oil and black residue shoots from the exhaust, not much smoke but its still concerning...
Second- Everything works in the dash except for the actual tacho that reads the speed im travelling, I have chased up a speedo sensor ($200) but was wandering if it was something silly first.
Third - how often should i service it and is there anything else needed to be done except the bog standard; filters, fluids and brake pads...
fourth - Any random tips or advice would be much appreciated :)

Does the black residue out the exhaust only happen when its cold? Mine does this, think its just moisture in the exhaust coming out, bringing soot from the exhaust with it, so black spots on the garage floor

Speedo sensor goes from the gearbox to the dash then to the ECU, so either something is unplugged (there are some plugs at the gearbox then I think they run through a plug next to the relay box in the engine bay). If everything is plugged in, maybe pull the speedo gear out and have a look. Its been converted so maybe the previous owner missed something or did something a bit dodgy

Might be, it seems to be a common thing [emoji28] that and it's also been sitting for 3 months... guess I'll drive it steady for a month or so than take it in for full major service...

As for the speedo I checked and they did put correct speedo sender in but forgot to connect it properly... loose behind dash cluster. Was annoying to find but I had fun learning around my new pride and joy :)

Servicing....depends, if its standard and just going to be a daily driver, every 10K, if its boosted and/or your pride and joy every 5K.

 

When was the timing belt last done??? Could be way overdue???

 

Lastly tips.....you found here so read, read, read and search, search, search.

 

Also have a look at the Forced Induction Dyno Results section, plans start from there!!!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
