Hey guys first of all I'll describe my car and I'll keep this thread for all my problems instead of opening up new threads, and yes I will and have search before I ask lol.

Car is a R34 GTT

Mods:

Full 3" exhaust with a split dump and screamer pipe.

Cold Air Intake.

Turbo Smart Boost Tee at 12psi standard turbo.

Front mount intercooler.

Yellow Jacket Coil Packs.

NGK PFR8 plugs.

Apexi Power FC tuned with 211RWKW.

Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button Clutch with Lightened Flywheel.

I always use Royal Purple 10/40 oil and Genuine oil filter.

Fuel: Shell V-Power.

Ok so now that thats covered, I recently came up with a problem.

Sometimes when at Idle especially if I'm idling for a while or with the Aircon on I get a greyish/black smoke smells like burnt oil.

This started happening after I had a vacuum leak for a while, ended up being my PCV valve and I have since changed it and went to re-ajust the idle and turned the screw on the AAC, not sure if this has anything to do with it but I'm putting everything out there.

What could be causing the problem?

I've done a at home valve stem seal check (hold the revs to 2500rpm for 2 minutes then snap throttle and check for smoke and it was clear)

My oil is way past it's oil change time and is black and is a little more runnier, I will be changing this tomorrow and I have been thinking of changing over to Penrite Racing 10 what are your thoughts?

Performance wise everything is the same.

I do have quite abit of Shaft Play in the turbo.

Any help and advice is very much appreciated in advance, thanks.

Hey guys, quick update and a new problem.

For the smoke problem, it looks like it's solved, did a oil flush and changed the oil and it seems to have stopped now, probably had a sticky ring due to gunk/carbon build up?

New problem: Car wont idle properly and it seems as though the AAC valve isn't working.

Looked up the forum and cleaned and tried to set the idle with the AAC valve and even played with the throttle stop and still it constantly changes its idle and when I turn it on when cold the revs don't go up as they used to to let it warm up, when I turn the A/C on same thing etc, when I disconnect the 2 pin harness from the AAC solenoid nothing changes so my guess is that the AAC Solenoid is stuffed? can someone confirm this for me, also when I adjust the idle from the power FC hand controller nothing happens, how does the ecu adjust the idle is it through the AAC solenoid or something else, if it's the AAC solenoid wheres the best place I can get one from or does someone have one for sale, thanks.

I have the same problem with the car mainly on decel and sometimes during idle. Ive broken it down to these

Valve stem seals
Turbo needing rebuilt

Worn piston seals

Thin oil

PCV valve

I started with changing the PCV and i can now decelerate without any smoke or idle. But I still do get a bit of smoke when I load it up my driveway slowly. Start with the simple things first. If i disconnect my breather hose to the turbo intake i dont get any smoke from the exhaust.

With the idle problem did you clean out your TB, there is some rubber stuff that helps it to seal and people usually scrub it off and the car wont idle well. The rubber stuff tends to look like carbon build up aswell.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
