I have recently bought a R32GTR & when left idling for a short period of time it blows blue smoke. Although under load it doesnt seem to blow any smoke. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be????

Any help would be great thanks :)

Could be a range of things, blue smoke usually represents oil, if i was to guess sounds like a turbo's on it's way out. My dad said somthing abotu the valve guides or somthing aswell, turbo would be a common problem, how many K's it done??? And is it boosting at factory pressier or has it been wound up.

Blue smoke is FOR SURE oil!

The best thing to do is trouble shoot and you can start by doing a compression/leak down test across all 6 cylinders. If when you remove the plugs there's oil on them.....problem. ;)

Check that all your gaskets are tight and dry.

Check for shaft play on your turbo.

Now if it's only happening at idle then there's a good chance it's your motor not your turbo. I had the oppisite problem on my ka-t set up in my 240. It idled fine but under load in boost...blue/white smoke. That turned out to be blown oil seals in the turbo. I would have someone follow behind you and see if there's smoke while your boosting. Don't go nuts but you need to know.

These are the easiest methods of trouble shooting and should narrow down exactly what it is.

Good luck man and I hope it's nothing serious.

Could be from a number of places where oil can be pulled from eg. turbos, valve seals, oil rings.

I would start my checking the inlet of the turbos to see if there is oil coming from the inlet side of the turbos.

Basically, get ready to open your wallet.

where are you located?

ive noticed a few of your posts are in regard to problems youve got with the new car.

did you get it checked over before you bought it?

this GTR you bought seems more like a lemon than a yellow submarine :P

I changed plugs on a family member's Toyota a few weeks ago and one of the plugs came out covered in engine oil. Is this blown rings? I'm keen to learn more, I meant to post but forgot all about it! :D

Cheers

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
