Hey guys,

Got told there was a buff of blue smoke after I came off boost.

I have -5s with fully forged engine and tomei oil pump.

was thinking maybe a oil seal on the turbo side and abit of oil getting into the exhaust housing.

Did a google search in SAU seems to be the consensus.

Thoughts?

Sounds like what was happening when my -7's were leaking

How long ago where they rebuilt? Did you get any warranty with the rebuild? probably not I am guessing. If it was not long ago then you might have an underlying issue with oil supply for your turbos.

Full rebuild required and as GTSBoy said, possible it could of happened during the repair too if due car wasn't taken.

Definitely frustrating if you are going to do it yourself or costly if you aren't, removed plenty from a few cars and it's never any more fun than the first time.

Engine and turbos were rebuilt 10 months ago (15,000km).

I might be able to get the turbo guy to come to the party but my tuners labour wont be included.

If it works out that way then I will be ok with that.

Thanks guys - its about what i thought.

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
