Well the Main Race is Sunday... I'll be there... Don't want to loose the passion for Sunday, so i guess that is why this was organised for the Saturday, so we can build up for Sunday... lol

for anyone that cares......
My car blew smoke out of the exhaust on the way to Victor. by 'blew' i mean....BLEW! limped the car home (altough it seemed to be fine on the way back) and rang mechanic!! Now apparently. white smoke signifies a lean mixture. ie. computer issues. this was what blew out. checked the oil dip and was good (still oil) and the coolent was still there. BUT then i got to the pipe that leads to the throttle body. loose!!!!
So here's my theory. so feel free to grill me...but...when the car was going at whatever speed it was going at!! (180-200km/h) air was sucked straight through the loose hose skipping the Air Flow Meter! and causing a lean mixture. my supporting reason for this is
1. did an oil change when i got back anyway & if anything..it ran smoother than before!
2. visually stopped blowing smoke after I rested it
3. can't hear any noise (other than obvious) coming from engine

whatdya think.

p/s. thanks to the boys in the 300zx and to Nigel for stopping. Nice to see some support!

pp/s. no-one bit me when i was there, which was good!!

EDIT: ppp/s. was i the only hungry one there???

how much oil drained out when u changed it when u got home??

was it overfull?? do you have a catch can or is the blowby hooked up to go back into your intake?? I had this problem recently because i stupidly overfilled the oil (having a huge dent in the oil sump doesn't help the situation), got massive blowby (oil) straight through the turbo and into the engine, fouled up my plugs, luckily didn't blow anything and just billowed out huge clouds of smoke.

A tip, take out your plugs and check their condition.

hey again,
I'm fairly sure nothing is actually wrong with the motor. not wanting to jinx it or anything but i drove it again today and there were no suspicious noise that would suggest a problem. however, i'll probably chuck it on the dyno sometime just to see how things are running.
Also, my oil is always checked and especially so ater i shredded the main bearing not too long ago. it is always on the F line or just a tiny bit under it. but i will heed the advise and check the sparkies!
thanks
Jonathan

Hope it all turns out all ok... What do you mean he kept up Jesse... When we hit it on the way back, we even lost the 300... lol.... Hope you enjoyed the ride in the Z4, can't wait till your RA28 is up and running to have a feel of 12 second Celica power!

for your information.... when u "hit the road back" me and the R31 driver took a few other turns, then he left for adel, and i turned back to victor, for some more sight seeing.. Smile

was a good day in all, but next time, some radio's for sure..
and some more advertising, for some more cars!!!
