Hey all

 

Finally got the new engine loom in, new ptu and interior back in with new cabling for the amp, speakers front and rear, and cleaned up, looks great.

 

But!

 

Its still pretty smoky but not persistent, 2nd gear 2500 to 3000 revs we get a gentle amount of very oily smoke. Under acceleration its fine, stop and its fine but every now and then pull up and your are overtaken by a smoke cloud!

 

My question is how do I get the car to stop smoking? get the engine rebuilt? new seals rings etc? get rid of the de-cat? 100 cel cats?

 

Anyhow answers on a post card please.

I would contact SWZ and see if they can have alook at like...

Thanks mate but Im based in Dorking bought the car of a bloke in Gloucester who got the turbos from SWZ obviosly cos thier close to him.

 

I got my local garage to look at the turbos and they reckon they were fine.

Ummm don't trust a local garage, you need to have a look in the traders section on here for more advise

Thanks mate it was Simpsons they were recomended by Z World as the only good place in the SE for a Z. WHere do you take yours?

I use these guys

Do they know Zeds? or do you just use them for general stuff? Thanks mate

They have had loads of Zeds in, they also work on a load of skylines

Awesome then ill get it down to them asap, cheers mate

Your welcome mate, hope they get you sorted and there only about half hour from you.

change pcv vaves and put some miles on the car, if it still smoke then book into a garage.

Thanks mate ill give it a try when Im back

Its already had PCV valves

Thanks Skey

 

I got some anyway, it had too much oil in it when I got it so Im guessing they might have got gunked up.

having to much oil in will def make it smoke as i did it to mine a while bak :rolleyes: .

 

and it blew my rear crank case oil seal,dont no if it affected the pcv valves though.HTH

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHEERS GARRY

Thanks mate

 

I just took it out for another test and its smoking like a good un again and running very lumpy by the time I got home Im guessing ive lost a plug or a coil as well?. Its fine when accelerating but come off the gas and then back on and a huge trail of smoke out the back and through the vents inside the cart and even out of the dash!!!!! Must be the turbos. Ill have to run it into the garage and get them to look at it.

Why don't you try the Zen Garage. They're traders on here and are London way I think. They are very good with Zeds.
