cheers guys for the other ideas, havent even looked at the cooler yet, but when i took the turbo out one of the cooler pipes had oil all around it. and my fuel was on empty pretty much so i could've done something to the pump

hi there, i have a "00 rsfour stagea with the rb25NEO and i am trying to figure out wether i've blown my piston rings or turbo. i've searched but havent been able to find anything about this so if theres a thread about this please just send me a link or tell me where to look. now, i was driving along the freeway at around 130km/h and doing a few pulls and playing around with the gears and spooling the turbo up as it's my first turbo car and had only driven it from where i bought it so far. as i pulled of the freeway and stopped at an intersection without any warning the car just starts blowing smoke and ran rough as anything and just felt like it was stalling and starting up again so i limped it downhill to a carpark and shut it off. when i started it i held the revs around 3,000rpm and it blew smoke like crazy but didnt feel like it was misfiring at all, but as soon as the revs dropped below 2,500rpm it would completely drop like it was stalling and starting again and i couldnt bring the revs back up. i have the turbo off and just played around with it and there is a bit of play in the shaft and when i spin the the blades i can see oil coming down the blades from inside the turbo. so i really need help with this before i fork out money for a turbo or rings. any help is appreciated

haha i think this has got a little off topic with pumpkin flavoured disco biscuits and lifting

look like i gotta do some exploring around this forum and some wreckers haha. thanks i wasnt sure what model my stagea was built around, i had people telling me the 33 gtr. i'll send you a message if i get stuck or need some pointers and will post a thread when i get my car back on the road (i only got to drive it twice after buying it before the turbo died) thanks again and thanks to everyone else who replied. see how i go haha

thank you for that. i have the turbo off the car and putting a new one on will be no problem so dont worry i wont be taking anything from behind (although i am a first year). i guess i'll go standard and just start saving for all the supporting mods before i go bigger and just go all out later down the track. i also just want to say that i understand this is not where to ask what to buy but it's can't be bad to ask opinions on different options and hear from more experienced people like yourself and others rather than trial by error where it's not needed. thankyou again

motor is completely standardm mods later when i dont have to hide the turbo

blown turbo. need a fix or replacement. what do you fellow nissan owners know about this? what is more reliable? what is the best opyion for a sub $1000 budget

yea cheers guys. i have searched $960 for a high flow from hyper gear $1,900 for garrett spec $500 second hand standard. anybody had experience with this? forums are for help so i thought i'd try... should probs simplify it for you little boys next time

hi there, i own "00 stagea rs4 with the rb25 neo 6 turbo motor and have blown the turbo seals and pretty sure the bearings are on their way out too. im just wondering if i should; A- get it reconditioned and high flowed B- buy a bigger better turbo or C- buy second hand standard from a wreckers. any help will be appreciated, sorry if this has already been discussed but i am just getting my head around the forum, cheers
