Very Sad Sounding R33

[brat81]

Ok so as i was driving up to Mount Buller for the Buller cruise my r33 decided to stop working.

So this is what i recall happening

Driving along (at speed limit of course)

I noticed i was loosing power while going up a hill so i dropped it down a gear

then i hear rattling which seemed to be coming from down near the cat converter

so then a dropped down to 3rd and i still hear the rattle and i'm loosing power

then i drop it down to 2nd and a SHIT load of white smoke pours out from my engine bay i pull over instantly and shut the engine off

i open the bonnet and it seems as though the smoke was coming from the back of the rocker cover

meanwhile the res of the SAU Vic guys that were behind me pull over and run up to see what has happened

I tried to kick it over and it just seemed like it had no compression so i thought ok i've done a gasket

Then the rest of the SAU Vic guys that were in front come back (thanks guys )

By then the smoke had died down and a few other guys confirmed that it might be the gasket.

once we got a tow truck organized and pick up my car i thought i will try and kick it over still nothing.

So now i'm home i tried to kick it over pumped the pedal like hell it finally turned over now my car sounds like this

So my first impression is tappets/lifters what do you guys think and would any of you guys know a rough price on how to fix it?

I'm sure someone knows

by the video it sounds like the death rattle. this is usually followed by an electrical problem (caused by a conrod coming out of the side of the block and hitting something, LOL).

lol?

Unfortunently due to the sound quality, its going to be hard to say Exactly what it is. First thing u should do is stop runnning it, the more you run it in this state, the more damage you do. get someone out there who can have a gander in person. *doesnt sound too good.* its very possible you blew your turbo. imo.

I think its an N/A mate - Hence why its in the N/A section and why under car's its says R33 N/A but 1+ on the stop running it..... get someone to look at it, its very hard to tell whats going on with that vid audio quality
