just took the cooler off and there's a bit of oil in that which is probably causing the white smoke when the engine hits boost! Currently cleaning it now and will hopefully get it back on tonight fingers crossed!

just took it for a quick hard drive and it only smokes a tiny bit driving normally but when it hits boost the smoke is much worse! To me that sounds like the turbo but considering its new and i changed the catch can and all this happened i'm still lenaing towards the catch can being the source of the problem???????????????????

this is what i thought but i heard that venting into the atmosphere is illegal with catch cans? I have my old catch can back on (the one in the pic which vents via a filter!) It seems to be fine, just getting all the oil out the system now is the pain staking part. Mind you it is still blowing a bit of smoke but nowhere near as much!

i hope its not the turbo cause i've been through that with my old turbo and my new 35/40 is only 2000kms old so it better not be that!, i'm 99% certain its the catch can because it only happened when i installed the new catch can!

mmmm, maybe thats my problem! i'll post a pic of how my catch can is setup!

i've just left the car idling for about 15 mins and theres still a little bit of smoke coming form the turbo and out the exhaust when i rev it!

i personally wouldn't be looking for a house round the hackham/morphet vale area. my partner and myself are currently looking for a house down south and many of our friends live down south. 220k will get you a reasonable house in hackham but i personally would rather live in not quite so good a house than live in a bad area! Try looking Old Noarlunga, Huntfield Heights, these areas are close to morphet vale etc but have a better reputation! Just my 2c

well last night i went to leave for work and got about 20 metres down the road and couldn't see out my rear view mirror from all the WHITE smoke so naturally i quickly pulled a u-turn and put the car in the garage and took the girlie's car to work as i was running late as it was! Now i'd just put a new catch can on that i'd made and i just presume i didn't vent it properly (was trying to make it legal) which caused this mess! Now this morning i put my old catch can back on which is vented with a filter and a few small 1/8 holes! I took it for a drive and it was still smoking but not quite as bad! I'm hoping this is just oil that was still in the exhaust etc burning off??? i pulled back into the garage and there was oily smoke coming from the engine bay (mainly around the turbo, can see slight oil marks/stains where the dump pipe meets the exhaust housing) and exhaust! Basically have i stuffed something (can't see how?) or do i just need to vent my new catch can and wait for the oil to get out the system? I was reading somewhere that its illegal to have a 'venting' catch can but if you don't vent it properly does this problem i'm having happen or have i made it or hooked it up wrong? Cheers in advance!

mmmmm, all the best ones that i know of are south of the city, i'd personally rather spend a bit more in petrol to know that my car will be looked after!

Serious? I don't understand how that can work, will be very interesting to see his results once its tuned etc!

y would you advertise this in the S.a section when your in QLD?

thanks for that! Much appreciated!

will this FPR suit my Rb30DET with the R32 Rb25de head which doesn't have VVT? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nismo-Fuel-...sspagenameZWD1V Cheers!

: I'm afraid you've got it round the wrong way buddy, having the turbo bottom end with the turbo pistons will lower your compression, not raise it. I'd be guessing somewhere round the 7:1 mark which should be interesting to say the least!

bump, $220 firm

i can't remember exactly but something about the gtr cams having more meat or more area to grind/weld makes them better for a weld and regrind it is $220 for both cams!

^^^^thanx for that!

loved it but i'm only just getting blood circulating through my body again now, it was so cold. Also a congrats to drinkies, the winner of the 2nd 16! Also -SKYLINE- bad luck on not making it to the top 32, few more praccies and you'll be right, The car looked awesome on the track! Props for getting out there and giving it a go!

still looking into it, theres a guy on calaisturbo.com that does weld and regrinds and has a really good rep! I'd rather get a full set of cams rather that just the one. This is the message he sent me! Re: cams If you want a small improvement without changing anything the best bet is to give me some GTR cams and I can grind them to hydraulic spec to suit your motor. This will add about 10 degrees and 1mm of lift to your car as it is now. Cost is about $220 to grind the cams that you supply. He said there isn't as much to gain using the 25de non vvt cams! Still looking into it, still getting my head around all the 'degress' and 'lift' etc cam talk, don't wanna jump into anything until i understand it more and work out the best value for money!

looking into this now, they will fit but with a weld and regrind should be pretty good accompanied with some adjustable cam gears, just weighing up whether to do this or get some poncams!

cheers!

good effort, once you get them injectors and afm in she'll be flying, presume that was done at boostworx?

thanks for that predator, as you can see i paid $229 as shown on the sheet above, i don't think its too unreasonable asking $220 for this item that is brand new! Basically if you don't like the price then don't buy it, simple as that!

pretty sure there the brother and sister who was molested by there father! Saw it on the news!

so should i leave the power fc in closed loop or not?
