My vz covered in dew.

When you turn your steering, is it noisy?

They are 6, but I believe 6.5 will fit without modification.

I agree, they could have caused something to fail or wear.

Lowered? Manifold spacers? Enclosed pod filter? <dunno if pod is ok for warranty. But remember, if something busts, they will blame your seat covers to get out of paying if they have to.

Bud, I do stop start, I get 13,7. Granted its a heavy foot.

If the car is at running temp, it shouldn't steam. You could just put some glass in the smoke and see if it fogs.

Proper job would be to buy some hose clamps. Cable ties won't give much pressure

Lower manifold is fine. Maybe runners? Need to clarify that.

Dunno about sedan but would scrub on ute.

Retune bud, stock will have a different power curve and torque, and you would have to refit the maf. Don't ruin a good car by being cheap.

Thanks mate. Didn't think of it.

I'll do a leak down if plugs do nothing.

Very strange. Are you sure its a missfire? I'd even consider removing the rear resi or something to hear the miss.

I guarantee it would have been clean as it rained the last time it started, and I won't deny it, I'm a super hoon in the wet. And I give it some every drive. But now I know it shouldn't smoke, I can start my quest of diagnosis, thanks boys.

Personally, I believe waiting at least 10 seconds before touching the throttle is good practise, the best would be to let it come off choke. I only like doing that so the bore is warm enough to keep fuel evaporated, however, if you don't use much throttle while warming up, there shouldn't be...

How many km?

I'm an apprentice mechanic so I know the basics. It was unburnt fuel. And I was revving to 6000 on full throttle, what I'm asking is if other people have experienced some "black smoke" under the same circumstances. And by black smoke I don't mean can't see through it, I mean it was black in...

I was trying to make a vid of my exhaust not today, noticed its a bit smokey under full throttle at high revs. Just wondering if most alloytecs will have a bit of unburnt fuel, or im running too rich, or not burning properly. By the way, i have a bit of a miss at idle, and no load with revs, i...

To cover it once again. I have Superlow king springs, guards not rolled, with 20" 245's allround. They dont scrub, but if you get a camper kit for the rear i believe they would, its only because of the negative camber that it doesnt hit. Get lowered shockies, i have monroe sports gt lowered, if...

The biggest difference will be your exhaust note, does a bit to fuel, but not enough for me to notice.

Really you just want the bore hot enough so that fuel doesn't condense on the wall of the cylinder and wipe off the protective layer of oil. So if you let it idle for around 30 seconds and it should be fine. But even more importantly than having a hot motor is having less fuel entering the...

Check your old oil for sludge and stuff that shouldn't be there.

To start with, the intake will only roar under full throttle. And when people say it increases power, its because they have already done many mods, that will increase the flow rate through the intake, making a restriction at the air box. I bought a decent pod setup and it made no difference...

let's all remember that while the insulators are a good support mod, removing a leaf from your intercooler will do more than the insulator will. No, I'm not bagging the insulator, I have one and think its great, I'm just saying that when you have forced induction it really doesn't matter. So...

No, it won't affect lag at all. When you consider how much area there is in an inter cooler, the tiny 12mm gap won't make any difference.

take it off and clean it? Brake cleaner or carby cleaner with a rag.

I agree with pricey, get that code checked, it may tell you exactly what the problem is. But you should also shop around, you can be charged anything from $40 to $100.

if its fully enclosed its legal.

You can't compare lowered shocks to stock ones, there is a reason they are "harsh", if you have soft shocks the extra spring in lowered springs will overcome the shocks. That's the downside of lowering. If you get soft shocks on stiff springs, the suspension will bounce.

Whenever you are given a torque then a degree extra, take notice of the force you are applying, if for any reason it requires more torque than necessary to achieve the degree turn, you may snap the bolt.

Sounds like an issue that can't be answered by a forum. Best to take it to your mech.

Your tyre shop is full of it, with rolled guards it will clear. Ive got 245's rear lowered, not rolled. I haven't scrubbed the Tyre, ever. I know 245's should scrub if you haven't rolled them, but i think my brand of tyre is a different shape or something, not a square edge, but if i got a...

Ok, seriously, when you hit 4000, does it it feel like it progressively hits it limit, or does it go BAM!!! IM NOT GOING ANY FURTHA!!!!

Also look up if people have had an issue with driveline angles when lowered. Its ok for the style side because it uses donuts for universals, im not sure if the 1 tonner has the same, i assume not.

And for the comment on how ethanol has much higher ron, ron equals flash point, not energy content. Ethanol has much less stored energy than petrol, therefore you use as much extra ethanol as you save in dollars. Plus ethanol absorbs water, this means if you have an old car with 10L of water in...

if you get king spring super lows, it won't tuck, it will sit just above the tyre where you want it. Put in those, if it still sits too high, there is something Sus with your suspension.

I assumed everyone knew what better fuel did. You want to advance the fuel ignition timing when at high revs so that the pressure from fuel detonation is pushing in the piston shortly after top dead center. Low octane fuel has a lower flash point, the point where a substance spontaneously...

OK someone tell me if the noise is coming out the tip or from another source.

Be a mechanic mate, start it up and find the leak.
