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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
