The younger of my twin girls decided to crawl off grandmas bed and graze her nose on the carpet the wednesday before last.

Bigger sister decides I can do one better than that and rolls off the change table onto some tiles while grandma turned her back for a few seconds. Took that one to PMH and all is good thank god.

Worst of all though my baby GTR started blowing white smoke from the exhaust everytime i took the foot off the accelerator...maybe i shoulda just accelerated all the time....engine stops running a few minutes later, try to start it up again and the engine makes a wicked grinding noise.

Apart from all that its been a great last 2 weeks.

i got the same problem. . . blows white smoke everytime boost is on then you back off, but ive just rebuilt my motor and only been driving for a few days and the turbo has also been fully rebuilt. Its got me scratching my head why its doing it. . . also it still blows the dipstick out so its cable tied in. So dont think that your rings are gone straight away, there maybe another reason

Sam5709 car had an issue with blowing smoke and blowing the dip stick out. It was a slight split in the hose at the PCV? We changed the hose, and have not had a problem since...as far as im aware anyway :P

Not good Long! We will leave the suspension fix up for now :)

Goodluck and i hope it is nothing too major.

    • Next pic will probably bring back Charlie's PTSD So yes, pump is back out. I hooked the fuel return up to a hose into a container to flush out the first litre or 2, jumped the Fuel Pump relay and.......nothing.... Turns out the pump I had pulled out, checked, cleaned everything....was dead.  I hadn't actually hooked 12v to it to check it worked before I put it back in. Anyway...Neil had kept the old pump which still worked, so I just swapped it back in. All good, flushed the lines out, ready to start
    • OK....so something that works like it said on the tin! Fitting the pressure feed into the car was an absolute PITA because the oil filter is in the standard location and then there is a fitting to run to the oil cooler. On the other side between the filter and the steering box is the standard oil pressure sender (not working for some reason, something to check) and 2 tapped 1/8 BSP threads for the oil temp and pressure gauges. Unfortunately it is really tight in there and it took a hours of stuffing around to get a t fitting to connect the priming pump and retain the gauge sender.  Also, the Aeroflow sump has some massive drain plug (needs a 32mm spanner) so I couldn't use the regular fitting there either. In any case....once it was all hooked up, like magic priming.mp4 15 sec, 3 bar of oil pressure. Left it running a couple of minutes to push through everything, looked good   
    • Yeah the latest style kit has been trouble free, I've done a fair few klm on it including pushing a bit on low fuel and it hasn't been surging (that's not an endorsement for race use, I haven't tried that low, or that hard cornering!). For street use it has been a good thing, handles the high current OK, only real issue is it is not cheap
    • So, how do you feel about the Frenchys surge tank setup @Duncan? Have you had a chance to try it out more? The sketchy wiring in my fuel pump setup has decided to melt and die and I'm looking for a solid replacement now. My fuel hat is toast so the Frenchys kits providing it all look promising.
    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
