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

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
