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

id be checking turbos. if its not them adleast you have elimnated them... sounds turboish but

ah cool. thanks for that.. im pretty sure it may be as i blow my turbo on my 33gtst and had the same symptoms!. just wanted to make sure.

might as well upgrade then i guess

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

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
