hey guys yesterday i was takn off my afm to replace the pod filter. and noticed a bit of oil on d lip of d afm. i know al of u r gna say its a bit of blow by so instal a catch can. but 2 mechnics have previously told me my turbo sounds unhealthy as it makes a whining noise. could the bit of oil in d pipe that conects to d afm be caused by the turbo? or would it definately be blow by?

also there is no oil in d bov or its hot pipe, in case dat helps

thanx

zack

k&n is oil based. so it could be that if it was a small amount.. if you have cleaned it and put too much oil it will get caught in the air flow meter. so yeah jus use some electric contact cleaner on ur afm and you'll be sweet.

but not being a mechanic, not to sure on the turbo theory you have been given, im sure other people would be able to give some info though :laugh:

thing is d oil came from d pipe dat d afm conects to. not d actual pod. or so i think nyway

If your turbo is making a whinning noise it sounds like it could be on its last legs. An oil seal may have gone which is allowing oil to travel back up your intake pipe. Do you have oil after the compressor as in the intercooler pipe?

Also please type english it makes helping you alot easier.

how do you even say that? onestly? did you make that up? i bet you did.

and what does 'i THINK i DEFINITELY' mean?

if u gna cum to dis flamin mongrelry lern 2 speek da propa england ya bloody immigant.

why do you always need confirmation? 2 turbo specialists told you your turbo was rooted. your cylinder pressure is good AND you got oil in your cooler piping.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
