nah its not. no blue smoke at all.

i can actually see its coming from the filter area.. just not sure exactly where.. might degrease the whole lot a couple of days before the next service to see where it is..

turbo's getting fixed once we finish scottys GTX i got a cheap quote from Hypergear so will get it done!

and if theres anymore problems im gonna buy scottys or another stock one and start again.. what choice would i have.

Hey Aaron, I hear Craig's got a good one for sale :P

Why go Hypergear? Don't want to go GTX?

Does the HKS filter have the magnet in it? Time to get ready for my next service I think, stacked on the K's since I got it!

why would i want craigs? mine puts out more power nyaanyaa.gif and im not even tuned properly yet...

i only need a bigger wastegate, ive got a stage 2 sierra and its boost creeping up top.. proves our housings are good!

i take it u dont know much about my car in particular lol

Its not the turbo's fault, or the car really. The banjo bolt restrictor would have been partially blocked in Aaron's car causing the bearings to fail. Can you imagine how easy it is to block a 1mm hole with crud? I bet most of the turbo failures have been caused by oil starvation as im running 19psi on the stock turbo for 3 months now without an issue, and at 225kw so the shaft speed is right up there...

buy craigs because its broken down less and killed fewer turbos :P

How is craigs broken Down less? His is broken more than all of us. Remember he does have a different engine coz he brokeded his other one.. Not to mention the trabsmission flaring through every gear..

Stop trying to sell the mexicans your dodgy yank products we all know anything the yanks make don't really last

Yep, Carlton. "Melbourne Business School".

Hangman's Tour at the Gaol tonight. Gonna bag me a ghost!

BTW I did actually as a question related to this thread, that got lost in the bullshit... does the HKS oil filter have a magnet in it? I'm running the Nismo at the moment and will be due for a change soon.

  • 2 weeks later...

got around to fixing my oil leak yesterday.

drained the oil, pulled off the filter.

used a 22mm deep socket to get the plate off.

I dunno if it is just mine, but it was close to being blocked with a whole bunch of gunk. as if the oil have become almost greasy mud. to be honest i dont how oil was actually travelling through..

any way.. cleaned it all up ended up talking almost half a palm full of gunk out.. put it all back together with a new Greddy filter. and filled it with sougi.

once the car was warm enough after about 10-15min of driving, i gave it some Gas.. and found out my tunes is all over the place again and lean? didnt think it would make this much of a difference..

being cleaned i know ive free'd up the oil flow alot and the engine obviously. and at Idle, the car sound 200% better than it did 3 days ago.. and every other time i've done a service...

this could also be half the reason my turbo kept blowing lol

what is everyones thought? perhaps you should all check yours???

Cam/Craig/Iain: Please dont take the piss out of this my uncle just died so im really not in the mood.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
