It's not oil because it doesn't do that when I'm on 98. Just unburnt fuel.Only does it when decelerating from WOT. If I ease up normally it doesn't do it. Will check compression just incase something is wrong with the rings.

Sounds like valve stem seals... Should be no difference on 95 and 98 for fuelling...

And trouble shooting no start with crank could be anything.

from a popped IC hose, to a snapped cam, hence CAS not turning.

Has it got fuel in the way of you can spin the crank and the injectors will fire?

Thats interesting...... the fuel thing.

I wonder if it would have something to do with the fuel and the oil on the cylinder wall from the rings.

You know how if its too rich it cleans off the oil lubricating the piston in the cylinder? Thats what ive heard anyway.

Different fuel may have a different viscosity or something.

And you said the plugs were clean?

That would suggest an oil leak after the plugs, or during the exhaust stroke. Like the turbo exhaust side oil seal, or, exhaust valve stem seals.

Anyway maybe you should get someone to confirm its still smoking before pulling it apart.

checked compression and 120,123,125,120,120,120. This was a cold test with a bit of oil squirted inside. Not sure if i can still have compression with a broken cam. Checked the loom for continuity and its good, checked the iginition relays and they have connection. Im really confused why theres no spark.

No spark sux on an injected car.

So many wires, earths and plugs to check.

Youll find it eventually.

Ps: Have you seen those bluetooth ODB plug things?

You can do diagnostic with the i phone now.

Bryce - any chance Ed can drop by after work ? No harm in asking....... (Especially if they resolved the first starting issue). Assuming your still using AutoTech

He should be able to bring pc & plug in consult. As hinted at above, Vipec may be your issue

Either that or $70 to get it taken there.

BTW. Ed's working through Christmas with only the PH's off.

Ahhhh it finally started I just pulled out every fuse,relay and connections and reestablished them. I earthed the coilpack to strut brace and tried it again. Seeing the spark was the most delighting thing. Put everything back in and it started straight away. So it was just a loose connection somewhere.

I did plugin into the vipec as I have the software and it said nothing which was a bit shit. But I guess it wouldn't figure the error out without connection.

Thanks again guys.

When i purchased my car the old owner gave me a set of Z32 Air Flow Metres, i am now thinking of selling them but first i need to find out if they work

Has anybody got a car that runs the Z32 AFM that can test with my AFMs?

Not me, been too many times.

Bored, bored bored.

I think ill run that upper engine cleaner through it today.

Maybe another wash too.

Last time it rained as i finished, pushed it in the shed wet, now its got big dusty watermarks everywhere.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
