Walk away, there will be better examples for less than that one.

what would the smoke be caused by? we thought it may be a cause of high boost, diesel oil and the breathers blocked off. the rest of it is generaly a nice car..

Why are they running diesel oil?

The blue smoke will quite likely be the valve stem seals if it's only on startup.

by **bbq1988** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:39 pm

ohk and more or less when its cold, aparently theyr running it because its thicker and running well

I'd steer clear from what you say. THere is no reason to run diesel oil in a petrol car in the first place. And the breathers are there for a reason

Yep... they are known to do that.

1. Don't buy the car.
2. JZ should not have diesel oil in it.
3. Don't buy the car.
4. The guy selling the car sounds like feckwit.

That will be all.

My thoughts were that possibly the oil rings are worn, hence the use of thicker grade oil to help keep the smoke down.
$11k is alot of money to pay for an old car now, regardless of mods.

silly as it may seem, im still looking at it, with a Full Service, change everything, unblock the breathers and compresion tes will be in order

by **bbq1988** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 5:34 pm

and in its current state, i would NOT pay 11 for it, i told him that and he droped $1000 off it

10k is still way too much IMO

Was a manual twin turbo Soarer in the Buy/Sell on Friday for $6500 with something like 47,000kms on it. Don't go for a half rooted one when there are plenty of others around for less money

Motor Oil for Diesels has greater ratio of detergents in it because of more carbon build up. It is not thicker, the weight spec is the viscosity eg 15w-50. If it ain't legal , don't buy it, breathers blocked sounds like crank pressure issue, I think you wil just be buying this guy's problems

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:18 pm

Viscosity is a measurement of thickness is it not? I think factory spec oil is a 10w30/40.

by **Jdawg** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:35 pm

Yeah, that's what I meant, it's thicker coz of the viscosity not because it's diesel oil

ok, its getting a cert this week, but as a extra condition i want to take it to vtnz and a indipendent mechanic, also his excuse for the smoke is a dual fuel relay switching between 9v and 14v on the fuel pump

Website · by **Mr.Phreak** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:50 pm

That's a crock of shit

by **fivebob** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:52 pm

Definitely a load of crap. Fuel pressure is controlled by the regulator not the pump, therefore any change to the pump voltage will not change the amount of fuel delivered by the injectors.

Most likely cause is either valve seals, or worn turbos :evil:

by **bbq1988** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:58 pm

now he doesnt want me to take it to VTNZ for a inspection.. i said "If you are serious about selling, you will let me take it as i have 10,000 cash waiting for you."

in the meantime, does anyone else have a manual soarer for sale

by **MR2SIK** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 7:09 pm
