finally got all my engine back together today after the big rebuild (rb26dett). didnt think anything of it when the turbos (2860-5's) had been sitting it had oil leaking out of them and we just assumed it was because they had been sitting for so long. but when we took it for a drive today just blew a shit load of smoke. and now they are both leaking oil. not happy

what do you mean leaking oil? ...when mounting these turbos did you use a oil restrictor? if not, try to fit a 1 - 0.8 mm restrictor to the oil feed. The smoke may go away. That is unless if you are shure that the seals is not gone.

If oil's coming out of the inlet side with out any obvious shaft play then it means you've got an oil drain related issue. Check the drain pipes make sure its not kinked, bend or capable of storing oil.

Also remove and check the drain adaptor if you or your mechanic sealed it up with silicon instead of gasket.

when we pulled the turbos of the car the were fine and hadnt been leaking oil. They have been sitting in a sealed box for about two months why the motor was bein built. and yeah when we put them back on they have devoleped a leak. but also when we pulled them out of the box the had been sitting in there was oil everywhere in there so would i be correct in saying and hoping that just new seals and no major expense

considering you can see it droppin from the turbos and the whole rest of the engine is dry. yes i am very sure it is comin from the turbos

did you replace all the copper washers?

its ifs dripping/dropping from the turbo i would say you have a leak in one of the fitting going to the turbo and that the turbo themselves may be fine

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
