hey guys.. i let a friend of mine drive my car for liek 2minutes and it came back f*kt.. its a r32 gtr.

he said he when he planted it and changed to 2nd gear it jus stopped boosting and he didnt feel anything sudden or notice anything out of the ordinary. it just stopped boosting

when i drive now it makes a noise as if air was coming out of the pipes.. i always had this problem with my pipes blowing off so i bought a hard pipe kit today.. but unfortunantly still hasnt fixed my problem.. ive also changed the spark plugs as they were caked with black stuff (carbon i think).

i dont know what else to do?. ive made sure all pipes are connected as tight and firm as possible.. all new o-rings/silicon hoses etc.

it smokes alot when driving too.. my mate told me there was blue smoke coming out of the exhaust.

have my turbo/s let go? or is it something else?

im gna try cleaning my air flow meters again but i just gave them a big clean a month ago.

mods are only catback, k&n hi flow panel filter, mines ecu

thanks

dude have it towed, as the ceramic dust can kill ur engine, and i dont think that you have calculated a engine build into your upgrade costs. this definitly is a blow turb, as i had the smae thing when a mate drove my car back when i bought it, nowadays nobody but me even sits in the drivers seat, be over protective, a GTR will make you bankrupt before you know it.

Yes it sounds like it could possibly be a blown turbo, but you can hardly say it deffinately is without seeing the car and making a visual inspection! Assumptions are the mother of all f*** ups. Are they even standard turbos with caramic wheels?

is there anyway to check/confirm that other then pulling it out?. cause i asked a mate to drive it while i was inspecting the problem i didnt see any blue smoke that they talked about.. only white..

but when i turn off the car the white smoke keeps coming out of the exhaust for abit.

im probaly gna leave the car in the garage for a while till i get some funds to fix it all in one go. would it be ok to leave it off for about 1-2months max?

hmm hopefully its not a rebuild :(

uh oh, spaghetti oh's :happy:. Does it have a boost controller?

The only other person to drive my car, in a year and a half of ownage, is my dad when I was on Holiday for 2 weeks. I think people only appreciate these cars if they have put the hard earned money and time into them, if not then they'll fk'em up!

Make your mate pay for it, a decent mate would fess up and offer to pay.

sounds like a turbo since you said that cause the oil is vapourising in the hot exhaust after the car has been turned off and this gives off the white smoke

haha yeah he has already offered to pay. i knew that the ceramic wheels would bust some day. im not making him pay for it as i knew the day would come.. but im happy he has offered too straight up.

it doesnt have a boost controller. jus the restrictor removed.

If you busted a turbo you will find part of the shaft in the cat ( if you have one) . Do a compression test to see if you damaged the bore as well.

cool will do that today. as well as the compression test when i put new turbos in

thanks guys alot for your help

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
