smoke and oil - help!


Recommended Posts

Ok if anyones had this prob with their r33 i need some advice, cars giving me the shits big time. It an R31 i just finished fitting a series2 rb25, its got a fmic and blitz BOV, standard everything else running 6psi. The prob is this, when i give it alot of shit, particularly after doing a big 2nd gear snaky in the wet, then back off, it blows a CRAPLOAD of smoke out the exhaust, but ONLY when i back off, not on acceleration. it cant figure out whether its fuel smoke or oil smoke.

Also, after only about 1000k's of driving i removed my cooler to find it chockas full of oil. Ive got a spare turbo thinking that was it but they both do exactly the same thing, and both turbs seem fine. I was thinking along the lines of overfuelling due to a non plumb-back bov but seriously the road behind me is lost in the smoke its ridiculous.

Also very strong smoke smell coming into the cab all the time while driving, but no leaks anywhere that i can see. Have i got two stuffed turbs?

Cheers steve

P.S. oil breather is blocked so its not that

not too sure myself, but i can offer that burning oil will look blue and running too rich will be black...

is your bumper full of 'soot' after a drive? if so probably running too rich.

have soemone drive behind you when this happens and get them to do an assessment of the colour and amount of smoke coming out

most cars blow a puff of black smoke on a full throttle change due to the rich nature of the fuel maps...

i can make some suggestions but they are by no means from anything other than my own personal experience and i ain't no mechanic:

- try changing your plugs (gap them to 0.8mm)

- try changing your O2 sensor (same asthe one from the EL falcon apparently)

oh and it could just be your BOV, try putting the stocker back on and see how it goes

good luck!

OK problem mostly solvered, Japanese wanker had blocked the oil breather completely so engine was pressurizing and forcing crap into the intake, cheers for the help tho!

I was thinking that aswel, If its still doing it after you unblock the breather then its a cylinder.

    • Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.     
    • I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well. 
    • For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers, 
    • Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.   
    • Oh sorry Justin! I was racking my brain trying to remember names, not sure why I associated “Adam” with 7tune! I’m good, been away from Skylines for over a decade, got family and kids now. Just getting back into owning a 32 but it’s a whole different world now… tax is higher and tech is better.
