(spell check off)..hehe

Ok, I got my 1991 GTR back from the tuning shop and they said that the #1 turbo is bad (HKSGT2530's) the bearing is going out.

He said that the #2 turbo will suck the air but the #1 turbo blows

it out????? Will a bad bearing cause this?? Also under full accelleration the car runs great but under lets say 1/2 load or 1/4 load (load being pedal position from off to the floor) the car runs really bad, sputtering allot, sounding like a choking chicken..lol!

Please HELP!!!!!!!!!

its not fuel delivery (ie: pump) unless the issue occurs under load.

The plugs can cause this issue if too cold a heat range with too small a plug gap.

Try reset on the ecu?

Does the ecu give any faults in diagnostic mode?

Perhaps the camshaft timing if adjustable gears are fitted, recently happened to a mate of mine.

No codes are registering from the ecu. I just replaced the plugs with NISMO platinum plugs, and no difference.

I think that maybe the exahust cam is positioned wrong???

But, tuning the exahust cam would be very hard due to the #1 turbo being bad right??

My freind is looking for a replacement HKS GT2530 for me and if that falls through then I have to take both off and send them down to HKS tokyo and have them rebuilt!!

Do you guys think that because one of the turbos are bad that could be the reason why it can't be tuned properly right now?

(dumb question but i have to ask)....

If you have a bad turbo you usually know about it when the thing is full throttle as opposed to losing midrange and low end power.

Is the problem only when boost is present or does it do it when cruising at higher rpms and light throttle?

If it does this on cruise then its not a turbo.

Turbo bearing failure produces noise, if all other avenues are blank then just pop the turbo's off and have a look. Don't just assume its broken.

The turbo problem was diagnosed at the Nissan dealership! They said the the rear turbo is in excellent shape but the front

one is "sticky".

They said that is why the car runs like crap at normal speeds and low load. Under full throttle or full boost the car runs strong but

not as strong as it should. When I turn it off you can hear the rear turbo spinning but the front is not .

(kinda like a frozen caliper on a disk brake-it works badly while you drive but when you slow down it wants to skid the tire..)

I have a couple of freinds looking for factory used turbos so that I can use those temporarally.

We called HKS Japan and they said that only a handfull of shops

are cretified with them to rebuild their BB turbos. And its going to

cost me around 70,000Yen for both. I guess some really special tools are needed??

Here is an updated picture ................

OH and the oil catch tank is temp. disconnected till we get it tuned

properly...lol

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
