It may not be a turbo seal you have blown...

I had white smoke after lift off - when accelerating after a decel in gear/going down a hill etc... I thought the same thing and sent off the turbo to get rebuilt... It didn't fix the problem.

It turned out to be broken ring lands on three pistons... The RB25 stock pistons are pretty weak. Hopefully your 20 doesn't have the same issue.

Ok time for a update,

Well i ran it at the last drift meet, with a missfure in CYL no 6 (replaced the plug before the event, but the coil had gone), I also had a crack in the dump pipe. the night was going ok, was pussing a bit harder then last time (3rd gear apx $130km/h) in to turn 5. I spun once and took out my front bar and the indicator dented my guard. however this was not as bad as what happend on turn 7. Started the slide at apx 135km/h and mid curner i started to spin. i jumped on the break but i was already on the grass and slid straight in to a plastic water barrier (empty). I started a grass fire, and engine fire.

What had happend, one of my catch can lines had poped off, and the vaoper condensed back on the wheels.

The pictures show the damage. What you cant see is the B piller was pulled in 10mm or so, and had i not had the floor brace could have been worse.

The car is now a dedicated drift pig, 33LCA are now on. turbo has new gaskets.

And another one bites the dust, and another one bites the dust hey hey. A very clean car for it's age, not now though.........no, not now. And a four door to. 10 years from now it would have been worth a bit. Oh well, makes mine more collectable.

Up date time:

Had a 3 month brake from the car after the last practice. On the last meet I ended up with no hand brake and striped 3 nuts, I was also selecting 5th instead of 3rd alot due to the bush wearing out.

so brought the following:

Gktech exstended nuts and sutds.

Gktech soild gear leaver bush

Gktech magnetic sump plug

Bride low max drivers seat

new hand brake cables (2nd hand ones)

bursons eng oil 15w50

The Gktech studs are a good pece of gear. front where east to fit with little fuss. The rears on the other hand are a PITA. It requires the removal of the hub which is exsplained below. The magnetic sump plug had no issues, but would be nice if a tool was included has i had to imporive to fit it as it takes a allen key and not a socket.

I have yet to test the new gear lever bush so will mention that when i do.

Rear hub removal R32 GTS-T.

Remove caliper and disc.

Remove all hand brake components.

remove split pin and locking peace.

the nut is a 36mm

the bolts for the drive shaf are 15mm

then there are 4 19mm bolts holding the hub on.

I have only fitted the sandwich plate at this point in time on the 30. As I am still in the process of swapping engines. But as you can see by the pics, it comes with every thing you need. Quality appearspost-32868-13856771846516_thumb.jpg to be really good. Still have to test it on the track first.

Cheers. One thing to note, the nut that holds the sandwich plate on to the block is about .5 mil to big for the OEM fitting on the block. It is supplied with the correct one but I have not fitted it. I'm going to use thread lock on it.

So I havnt up dated in a while but this is where im at.

RB30ET is in and running. well just. it looks like its got a f**ked head gasket or rings.

So what have I used.

Rb30E inc full loom and ECU.

T3/t4 turbo (10psi)

VLT exhaust manifold.

15mm spacer between turbo and mani as they fouled, I used HDJ100 (land cruiser) studs and nuts on the manifold as I fould these to be the lenth I needed to fit the spacer plate.

braided oil feed line, custom oil drain line.

GTR 444cc injectors on RB30 fuel rail.

Sard fuel pressure reg. (as both my factory ones I had were sized)

forward facing plenum, as the factory one fouled the bonnet, and I alslo wanted to run the strut brace. This is a unique one I found of gumtree. As the previous owner fitted two RB30 TB.

Had to mod my blits FMIC as it was a return flow, and do all custom piping. I used what I had lying around.

R32 AFM (will be changing to z32) as I have been informed it will max out at 180 rwkw, and I excpect to see 200-220rwkw.

R32 GTST mounts with nismo insulators.

RB20 GTST clutch and fly wheel.

RB20 GTST gear box.

Nistune ECU

Just need to get it tuned.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
