R33 Engine Problems...replace Or Recondition?

Hi, I own a 1995 non turbo rb25 r33 gts. I currently got a few issues with the car...but specifically with the engine...it blows out white smoke at high revs...indicating oil burning inside the engine..(possible cylinder rings fried?)...i recently changed the air flow senser, as it was playing up and i was getting terrible misfiring occuring. The clutch needs to be replaced soon as well, as that needs to be adhered to as well.

number of questions i need answered...

1) Clutch needs to be replaced. What type of clutch should i put? Does it make a difference? Cost? (My specific skyline, is a series 1 non turbo r33, therefore it dosent have 4 wheel steering or nissan brake calipers...but i do have a gtr gearbox, and 4wd).

2) White smoke blows out the back...it needs to get fixed...do i fix the problem? replace the cylinder rings? or put a new engine in all together. The current engine is up at 150,000 k's, so its gettin a little old. I want to put a turbo engine in as well, so if im going to replace it, it'd be a good time to swap to a turbo now.

Are there any things you should be aware of when replacing an engine? specifically going from a n/a to a turbo. any ideas on the costs involved? where should i start looking for an engine? What sort of mehcanic should i look for?

Your reply is appreciated.

V.

sounds like you've got a gts4, a turbo motor will be quite difficult to find as you'd be after a stagea front cut... and even then it'll be manual (suppose u cud use ur gearbox)

lotsa ideas - comes down to your budget, once you suss that out then your in a position to make choices...

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
