Hey guys, I thought I should update this topic because as it states, things have gone a lil more poorly. the original text is down the bottem of this.

to sum up the past few days, I started noticing a small amount of white smoke cumming from my exhaust, only very breifly when I stopped at the lights, now after the last events that have taken place, there is alot more unfortunetly.

I was recommended to take off the intake pipe to the turbo and check for oil, well I did that today, I unbolted the lowest part and most common place I would have thought to find oil... down in the bottem right hand corner where the fmic meets the lowest part of the intake pipe(pics up soon).

I found a small amount, just a lil residue and small patches, cleaned it up, put it all back together, made sure everything was good and tight, but not tooo over tight.

drove my car around for a couple of hours, all of a sudden bang, one of my intercooler pipes pops off, I am on the side of the road, fixed it up extrA tight. drove off. drove 30 mins home on freeway, taking it easy.

came to the start of my 2km street, wanted to see if the pipes would hold, revved to bout 5000 and the pipes pop off again in a different spot,pushed it home, fixed and tightened it all up... turned it on, found there is now alot more smoke cuming out the rear and I think there is some blue smoke...

so I am hoping so far this all sounds like the turbo is my prob? not my engine? if so, do i need to do the seals? is that costly on a stock turbo? is it better to replace as oppose to fix...

please help! wots the extra smoke and bit of a bluee tinge mean?

thanks,

Adam

P.S I did try looking around the forums, couldn't find too much.

PREVIOUSLY....

"Gday guys,

I turboed my car about 9 months ago, car has never missed a beat before or after the conversion and is now running about 200awkw (r33 gts4).

She still is running perfect, but this week I have started to notice that on occasion (maybe every 5th set of lights) that there is a small amount of white smoke coming from the exhaust when I stop at the lights, it only lasts for about 2 seconds and then disapears, but it smells and is enough for me to notice. (I don't fang it before I stop at the lights either, just normal 3,000 - 3,500rpm changes).

I changed the oil and filter about 4,000 kms ago and is coming up for another one, but the oil has gone from perfect down to low. I hope it is just the turbo, because it is just a stock one. The other thing to note is that I have recently gutted the cat a couple of weeks ago to get a bit more flow until I recieve my highflow soon.

please help! Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated. I have looked around the forums but couldn't find anything too similar.

Regards,

Adam"

hey guys,

I gave it a good rev before in my garage so I could see if anything was coming out, didn't appear so.

I don't know what I do differently when I drive it to make it occasionally smoke.

I have a feeling it may be the turbo, I hope it is... but is there anything else it could be?

Why have I lost so much oil???

Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys,

I will open it up and have a look tonight.

1 thing though, I thought that if there was to be any oil in that pipe, that my car would be constantly coughing out alot of smoke? not just the odd one or two puffs per drive...

also thought I should mention it has been absolutely fine over the past 12-24 hrs during driving... so could this be an intermitant problem do to a loss of oil? which I am yet to discover why I am loosing oil in the first place...?

Thanks,

Adam

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
