Hey, today while entering the freeway.. i heard a weird sound and felt the car went flat.. after that i realise theres white smoke coming out of the exhaust everytime i try to go on boost.. I've search the forum to find out about it and to what i understand.. it could be head gasket? or turbo dead and needs a new one?

Anyway gonna get it check out tommorrow and just wondering how long can i keep driving it like this? will it damage anything? or it'll just keep blowing out white smoke until i replace the turbo?

Oh, car is on stock boost with fmic and catback... so any idea how did i manage to killed my turbo? cause i always think that you have to run higher boost for the turbo to spit out its ceramic wheel. guess i was wrong there...

Hey ducki

Sorry to hear... if it's a blown head gasket I'd advise you not to drive it... you could do some real damage to the engine... I had a blown head gasket in my old shitbox of a car.. mate put some liquid and told me to drive it to the shops and back just to run this liquid through the radiator.. about 10mins away from home smoke and liquid starts pissing out... made it home but yeh.. not good..

Hope it gets fixed!

hehe.. it was a blown turbo.. had it replaced last year

there was nothing left on the exhaust wheel.. so the cause of that is still a mystery to me since it's been running stock boost ever since i bought it and stayed like that for over 2 years before it shit itself.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
