Hey guys/gals,

Its seems that my R32 gtst auto doesnt seem to be running rich. the way i have come to this conclusion is that everytime i hit the gass hard, there is not one bit of black smoke that comes out of the exhaust. Do the same thing to every other standard computer turbo OR non turbo skyline and one will see some amount of black smoke which points to unburnt fuel. NOW..is the my car actuali running lean, as i cannot hear it ping when it on boost. Fuel pump fuel filter has being changed (funning r33 gtst fuel pump) and its stock except cat back exhaust and air pod. Can anyone tell me why my car is behaving like this? could the stock computer have being that smart and leaned out my fuel mixtures enuff yet ensure i aint pinging yet? surely not!

Check fuel flow should have at least 2.5l/min of flow at around 38-40psi of pressure. Also make sure the pressure increases when you pull the vacumm line to the FPR off. Also how does the car drive? If it is surging around cruise to medium trhottle it may be a build up of junk on the AFM sensing wire. This means you will be lean everywhere however the O2 sensor is probably adding fuel in, in its closed loop operation anyway.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
