R32 Gtr Help!

[evilmidgetdude]

Hey guys im still having heaps of issues with my R32 GTR. Anyway first it had a stalling problem and the other day I was driving and as usual it stalled, few days later I started her up and she died straight away, when I finally got her started she was idling and revving really rough and won't rev over 3k and blows a shitload of black smoke and I've just noticed that there white smoke coming from the turbo's side.

Would my turbo's be blown? Or motor maybe?

Check air flow meters, apart from that it could be a blown vacuum line/blown turbo. It could even be a head gasket. You may have also damaged piston rings. Stop trying to start it and take it to a shop to diagnose properly or you will properly break your engine.

This is usually a blown hose on the intercooler. Follow from the twin turbo pipe around to the inlet manifold and check for leaks/loose pipes etc etc. The are hard to see so you may have to take the front spoiler off the car to get proper access or atleast the front undertray.

What happens is when you lose a hose the AFMs read all the air which is sucked through the turbos and fuel for that amount. Unfortunately half of it goes missing and you end up with a motor than pumps black smoke and wont rev as it is running massively rich.

I checked it Yesterday and one part of my intercooler pipes had popped off but still it's not better, could the pipe have split aswell as pop off? Or would it just now be a matter of resetting the ecu? How would I go about checking the vacuum lines and stuff for leaks?

GT-Rs apparently are EXTREMELY sensitive to voltage / amperage. A battery that will start he car may be old enough that it takes larger than normal amperages to recharge after starting. The ECU interprets this as a problem and goes into a sort of limp mode.

Try replacing the battery.

I did have to jump start it the other day to start it but then now it's starts on its own, so maybe it's battery is dying.. Is there a way to reset the ecu?

I cannot add anything to the above except to ask you what city you live in?

[evilmidgetdude]

Sydney NSW, why's that?

Anything could have happened - but probably didnt. Go through the I/C hoses thoroughly and satisfy yourself they are all as they should be.

The other side effect is you will doubtless have fouled the plugs. So pull them and clean/replace as necessary.

I'll give that a go when I get home

Yeah I pulled them out and checked them yesterday and they were pitch black! And smelled like fuel lol. Gunna change them this arvo too
