Righto, thanks. Compression test should show if there is something dodgy going on and then i would have to rebuild the engine anyway but if it doesn't I'll get a leak down tester.

At the moment i just bought the compression tester but you're right, none of the leak testers on ebay doesn't seem to have orifice on. Did you filled the middle pipe with epoxy or something and drilled the 1mm hole through ?

Yeah it doesn't look good, no way to find a spare engine here in Darwin. Best option would be probably pick up a piston and rod kit from ebay, had a quick look 1500$ -2000$.

Thanks for replying. Engine was warm when i did it. Getting a compression tester from ebay but i hope you're wrong mate, wouldn't want to pull motor apart at the moment.

Still trying to figure out whats wrong with it, made a short video of that whistle sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVQwkeTv5j0 Wanna get my car running properly again, might go for a new turbo if can't find the problem soon.

Was looking with a key, got one from "phatlavish" already, cheers !

Hi, I'm chasing bootlid lock for my 1 series r33 gtst. Example what exactly I'm looking from Justjap shop: http://justjap.com/genuine-nissan-boot-lock-assembly-nissan-skyline-ecr33-bcnr33.html I'm located in Darwin but willing to pay shipping from interstate, thanks !

Also i just remembered now that when i was doing the boost leak test, @10psi oil dipstick popped out and released all the pressure which seems bit odd on such low pressure. Forgot to take a picture but here's a picture from Google how i did the pressure test:

Yeah mate, cleaned the intercooler and piping with degreaser and hosed all the dirt out. I didn't put anything back together because my concern now is what kind of damage all that has done already. Been just browsing different topics here for hours already, reading about Kinugawa turbos at the moment, probably takes me another couple days to finish that thread lol.

Built a pressure tester to find the boost leaks, got rid of all the leaks but still feels like boost leak and lack of power on higher revs. So i pulled off the turbo, intercooler, pipes/hoses. Found some pieces of metal inside the intercooler and engine oil has turned black(just serviced about 600km's ago). Turbo has a slight shaft play inside-out but not side to side, cold side wheel looks a bit rough. Drained all the engine oil, luckily didn't found any metal pieces from oil. Apparently turbo was just replaced before i bought the car so might it be that f**kers blew the old turbo up and didn't clean the intercooler??? Still doesn't explain why I get 15psi of boost and that sucking noise like a boost leak+ stalling when turbo is supposed to kick in. Might need to start looking for a new turbo...

Not sure if r32 would have big wiring loom running inside the drivers side front guard but i had similar dramas with r33 electrics, coz of car being too low, tyres rubbed through the big wiring loom and all the wires were melted together.

Alright, now i have a boost leak so i pulled some hoses/pipes off to see what's going on. Found that someone has blocked off the bov with a piece of tinnie, what's the go with that ? See picture below :

Thanks guys, will clean the intercooler and piping out soon as i got time + replace spark plugs after it's not burning oil anymore. Definitely will fit a catch can, redirecting oil to intake seem like a bad idea.

Oil pressure warning lamp doesn't light up either anymore but if original oil gauge is not lying the pressure is up on 8 most of the time which seems pretty high.

Haven't noticed any oil loss anymore, it actually might be that all the intercooler is still full of oil.

If that's how to test it then yes it works. I'm thinking that because of that one blocked breather hose on top of rocker cover was completely crunched that no air could get through, engine had too high oil pressure all the time and old owner just kept driving it, so it blew the turbo seals coz it seems to have bit too much oil in intake? Yeah it's near stock: 3" cat back exhaust Front mount intercooler Pod filter stock turbo and turbo controller at the moment

I was reading about these catch cans now and seem good idea to get one. You reckon that one would do mate ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/181354587887

Is that with the blue ring coming out of rocker cover ? Pulled that hose off and tried to blow air through the valve, it works only one way, can suck air out from engine but can't blow it back.

No oil catch can, just original setup. Probably should get the hoses meant for it from ebay, at the moment i used what i found from supercheap auto.

Hi everyone, Greetings from Darwin, that's my first post here - so... I bought my first Skyline last week(r33 gts-t) and it started blowing blue smoke couple days ago every time when I've been driving steady for a while and then put my foot down to 4000-5000rpms on 1st and 2nd gear. Also all the oil breather hoses were either broken or blocked and oil was leaking everywhere and got oil pressure warning light all the time, anyway replaced these hoses and serviced the engine(no i didn't overfilled with engine oil) and now it's blowing blue smoke. Pulled the turbo/intercooler pipes off and there is fair a bit of oil there but turbo is all good, no odd shaft play. Could it be the oil rings ? Cheers
