SO i need some f**king help, heres how it iz:

bought car after sitting 2 years and forged motor with 20k km on it, blown turbo rear housing (turbo removed & gone), seller lost interest and boought an f6.


came with an f6bb turbo i fitted and made lines n dump etc. I finally started it fine and then found it to be very smokey when revved. I pulled turbo intake off and BAM oil everywhere, took dump off and BAM oil everywhere.
runtime 5 min with 1mm restrictor. I figured well seals are f**ked for oil to get into front and back.
Prev owner said turbo only had 10k km on it and was very surprised & gonna look into it.

So i buy a r33 turbo just to get this car moving & regod and.............BAM same thing again oil in front and rear housing after few min startup and no restrictor and now im furious.....well at the time i was, but the guy gave me his word hed give me money back if it was blown as he didnt use that turbo.

NOW im thinkin do i have that bad a luck where i make 2 turbo setups work and there both f**ked ?? f**k this i should just buy a newby.

WHAT i did notice is with the r33 turbo the car was missfiring and i did notice oil was in cyl 5 from the looks of the head and manifold, so i checked the manifold from the f6 setup and there too was a bit of oil in cyl 5 there too, But surely that cant get into the front turbo housing.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

a combination of 2 f**ked turbos and oil in cyl 5 like the head gasket is f**ked or what.



SO i got a r34 op6 and made sure it was not f**ked, guy showed pics of upgraded turbo he put on and stocky was taken off in running order with 140k km on it so today i hope to fit it and see what up !!! wish me luck f**kers

Peace

Was the oil in the exhaust manifold?

A bit on cyl 5 mate & im thinkin that cyl was the one not firing, i got plugz n stuff but need to swap plug tool tomoz for superchep.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
