Steaming 32..

[nuR.spec]

hey guys,

i've had this problem with my 32 for quiet some time now and it's beginning to shat me Basically, when cruising, all is fine and no sign of smoke through the rear vision mirror. However, if i put my foot down and ramp up to top end, once i begin to slow down, a massive cloud of white smoke follows It certainly smells like oil so im thinking it's burning oil. Why? I've replaced the turbo but no advancement..

I read up on here somewhere that it could be related to the PCV valve? I know for a fact that when driving hard, the dipstick pop's out and covers my engine bay with oil? I've taped it down so that's no drama atm..

Has anybody had similar problems or suggestions as to how i should go about rectfying it? As for the car, it's an rb20 R32 gtst with fmic, exhaust etc;

Thanks in advance,

nuR

If youre popping out the dipstick you have a fair bit of blow by, which points to shagged rings.

Under boost the pcv valve closes anyway, i doubt it's your problem. The big question is, how much oil is in the intake pipes?

[nuR.spec]

pulled out the intake pipes and there's a substantial amount in both the pipes and lying around the turbine wheel..

It looks as though it's leaning towards a rebuild..

classic dipstick popping...haha im sure weve all seen that sign before a rebuild. had that in my old ca18det and rb20det.

thats gotta hurt

just wanna say that i've fixed the problem and it nothing to do with a rebuild It was simply a hose which was being blocked off..As for the distick, the rubber seal wasn't sealing which was causing it to blow off..All is good now

despite the rubber on the dipstick not selaing.. it still shouldn't be popping out..

if i were you i would get someone to do a comp test on it.. just for your own peace of mind.

Why?

I was merely stating that as much as it is hard to diagnose faults at the best of times when you have the car in front of you, it is even harder to diagnose faults with limited information and hundreds of possibilities with no method of testing from where I sit. That is why it is important, no matter what anybody says on these forums, that you take your car to a professional for accurate diagnosis.

I still resolve to say that there is an underlying problem still as the dipstick should not pop out under the circumstances that he has described.
