Pick Your Brain- Gt-R Problem

[Anfanee]

As some of you may be aware i slipped and broke my GT-R yesterday.

I need helping with ideas of what has happened. the Symptoms are:

High pitch noise and white smoke from under the bonnet when trying to start.

It did start 1 time but i had a huge amount of white smoke out of the exhaust.

When we took our foot of the gas the car immediately cut out again.

Im thinking ive cracked a hose somewhere and the started motor may have pooped itself.

Thoughts?

IF anyone is keen there is a 6 pack for the person who knows what the problem is. as i'm pretty stumped at the moment.

I will be doing compression tests and all the random stuff on Saturday but i would just like some ideas on what it might be so i know where to go.

Thanks guys

Are you sure it's white smoke and not gray/black?

I would say vac leak if the smoke is black

[Anfanee]

yeah the smoke is white, very white. but i have not seen the smoke since yesterday when it first broke. the car won't even attempt to start now. its got that high pitch noise and a bit of smoke under the bonnet when it tries to start. hence im thinking starter motor. but im unsure

[Manuel Kasko]

Can't determine where the smoke and noise is coming from?

[Anfanee]

I think started motor but im not sure. im still new to the skyline engines. but yeah it sounds rooted. but im unsure as to what else is wrong. because the whole car just died on me on the way home. i thought i might have run out of petrol but after all this it can't be petrol. so im lost. hopefully me and a few mates can figure out whats wrong tomorrow. p.s Anyone Thats free today that lives like condor area free that might have an idea?

thanks guys.

what exactly happened when it broke? Ie were you driving and it all of a sudden let go? with a big cloud of white smoke coming out the back? Was the turbo boosting at all after it happened? or did you shutdown the car straight away.

[Anfanee]

I was at idle going around a corner and the whole car just gave up, rolled to a stop. i had boosted about 3 minutes before hand. no smoke when it did die. I think what has happened is i was low on fuel and there was some gunk in the bottom of the tank and ive clogged my fuel filter somehow. and my started motor just chose this time to die as well.

Smoke out exhaust?

Head Gasket? If there is water in your cylinders it will come out the back in a white cloud.

What happens when you turn the key now? Does it roll over but not start? or are you getting no response at all?

[Manuel Kasko]

Check the normals such as coolant color and see if it's got oil in it. Vise versa with the oil check if it's got coolant.

Maybe post up in the forced induction or general maintenance thread they will have a good idea as well.

Check for fuel so maybe pull the line off the regulator and prime it to see if fuel comes out.

Also pull the spark plugs out and make sure it's getting spark.

Im getting no response at all anymore, when it was turning over i got white smoke out the back off the car as well as a bit under the bonnet. tomorrow im pulling the fuel filter out as well as the starter motor. from what i can see i may have lost a tiny bit of oil, coolant is fine however. I was thinking head gasket to begin with but now im not sure. as when the car died i was low on fuel its very suspicious...

[Anfanee]

when i say no response my car the started motor sequels in pain however it does try to turn over, i know it isnt spark plugs/coils so im thinking its fuel related or a head gasket. i think the starter motor just decided to brake at this time and it isnt related (i hope).

I'm almost positive that I have an rb26 starter motor sitting in my garage doing nothing.

Just PM me if you think you need it

What did the smoke under the bonnet smell like?

Have you ever smelled fuel thats not burning but its so hot it turns to white smoke? a very odd smell.

Do you know what fried wires smell like? (starter motor)

The other white smoke is coolant burning, after all the water has boiled away. smells like a chemical factory. like its gunna choke you.

Your nose is a chemical sensor that is very easy to use.

[Anfanee]

it smelt like fuel. not sure though didn't want to break it further. its sounding pretty sick at the moment.
