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

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
