Air tube and turbo piping

i was going to clean AFM when i noticed that my air tube (the one that goes to my turbo) is full of dust, mud and probably oil - all this is mixed in there.... then i took off all pipes that goes in and out of intercooler - they all had oil in them... is it normal? i guess it's not. my AIR filter looks ok... air tubes is without cracks, i don't understand how all that mud got in there...

is there a way to clean all the pipes? i guess all this mud gets into the engine too :P

also, when i remove AIR filter when the car is running (idle) the engine's revs start to jump and engine works unstable...

i guess dirty pipes are the reason of this?

the car idles fine with air filter, but once i remove it - revs start jumping. but engine never stalls. maybe it's becuase more air is coming in and ECU do not control fuel when idling?? but i think that air flow increase is very very little without air filter.

confused again :P did you notice anything similar to this on your car, Boostd?

btw, what is TPS?

The ECU does control fuel at idle(closed loop) removing your Air filter will stuff up your vaccum levels and the wierd idle is you ECU trying to control whats going on. I find my car idles wierd when its due for an oil change. When to oil gets to thin... ie less than 5w. The manual recommends 7.5w 30 oil. I have tried 0w 40 and my car hates the thin oil at idle and starts hunting.

TPS= Throttle Position Sensor

i've found out that different oils with same specs act differently.

i used Shell 5w40 (the worst oil - doesn't keep with load), Castrol 10w60 - quite good and it looks like my turbine likes it and Hassol 5w40 - same quality as Castrol, but MUCH cheaper (use it now)....

though i want to try Motul oil, once it will be delivered here. heard it's good

Mobil here (in Russia) is of a VERY bad quality... maybe it's russian mafia who spoils good oil and selling fake instead of original :D

anyway, 0w40 is too liquid for turbo cars (imho), as the temperatures are much higher in tubro cars and this oil can just dissappear in some parts of the engine and all the pulleys (or gears - forgot the right word) will work without oil film... that happened to my engine with Shell 5w40 - my turbine started to switch off under heavy boost...

      Rb25det Belts Change

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5

      I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
