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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
