hey all

just replaced my exhaust manifold gasket, put it back together and now the thing wont idle and is producing a crap load of black smoke. the thing is last nite after it was all back together i started it up and it ran fine, but when came to moving it this morn it wont run. i also had a flat battery this morn so when trying to kick it over could it of damaged the ecu in any way?

ive pulled all the pipes off again checking if they were restricted but they were clear. do airflow sensors just pack it in? as this is the only other thing i can think of.

any help would be much appreciated

Is it black, or grey? Where is it coming from: exhaust tip or engine bay?

When I replaced the exahust manifold, turbo-to-dump, turbo-to-manfold, and dump-to-front gaskets my R32 GT-R was pumping grey smoke like something was on fire :P After about 30 minutes of idleing, the gaskets finally started to seal and the smoke disappeared.

The idle was a bit high, but was fine otherwise. I had to replace my sparkies the next day as they became fouled, I assume from a combination of (normally) rich running plus screwed A/F ratios due to the exhaust leak, and the 30 minutes it took for things to seal up.

Black smoke and not running probably means you didn't connect up a cooler pipe properly when putting everything back together.

AFM sees lots of air so gives the engine lots of fuel. Engine sees little air so pumps the fuel out the back in the form of black smoke and backfires until it floods and stalls.

cheers for all the replies. its all sweet now though. went through and reconnected everything( intercooler pipes, pod assembly) and the thing was still running rough, but after a bout an hour of trying it started, ran rough for bout a min then just kicked in, although it has a bit of a miss now though. time for a full tune me thinks.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
