Have just replaced original turbos with some 34 N1 Turbos.

I have had car for 2.5 years of which no time has been spent on the road still as import -

1st year had a body rebuild new panels paint etc etc

When first got car had a full service done new boots new twin plate clutch all new fluids etc etc

Next year car was stripped and had panels replaced new rails new glass etc etc

Last year had front turbo blow (took me a year to figure this out)

Got around to getting some second hand 34 N1s over christmas and have just done the install.

After install I found a small oil leak from the front oil banjo bolt (tweaked washer) fixd

Then I had a small gasket leak from rear dump to front pipe (front pipe seat slightly warped so flatened it out etc)

Now I have some darkish smoke coming from in between two turbos? Cant see anything from underneath

At first I can see front o2 sensor line is crossing between hard oil and water lines so maybe melting rubber but cant visually see this? Other then that Im not sure what it could be it seems like coming from below turbos? Any ideas?

My rims are off at the moment getting fixd so cant take it out for test drive and check Im making boost. From idle it sounds like car is reving fine etc.

Car is blowing little white smoke etc can this happen from stale fuel?

Im going to do a radiator flush and chuck some new coolant in.

Is there any thing else I should be checking changing?

Fuel could be year and bit old? stale?

I have done 40kms (near 2 years) since service so im guessing i dont need to do full service??

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated, This project has consumed alot of my time and I want to make sure its all perfect before I get it regod>

thanks in advance,

Dan

Not trying to be mean or anything but one would think that a year old fuel can't be good for the car - stale or not?

Don't know how true that is though.

I would definitely do a full service - change the oil / filter since that has been sitting there too?

Fuel should go stale after about 3-4 months and it'll struggle to hold revs up with stale fuel

Is it burning up straight away or as soon as the car gets hot?

Could just be some spilt oil on the turbos/manifold from install..oil takes a while to burn up even when its on a hot surface. Give it a quick clean with a high pressure hose, if it comes back, then check the gaskets on the oil return lines...the water lines and oil feed don't have gaskets but give them a check anyway..could be leaking anyway.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
