Umm, blowing blue smoke doesnt mean your car needs a service. It means that oil is getting into the combustion chamber. Could be caused from genral wear and tear, Flogging your motor while its still cold, Improper tuning. Does the motor backfire at all?

Dont wont to point the finger at anyone, but it sounds a little sus about how many Ks the car has considering its a 92 model. I would say that the clock (EDOmeter reading) has been turned back a few thousand ks.

Take the car back, thats BS. Dodgey little car yard pricks

its not 17,000km guys!!!

170000 la=.=

170,000km can't u read..

if its blue smoke yes, a sign the compression is going. if its black smoke, then its just running too rich.. just needs tuning.. and well the oil is ink-black.. it needs changing.. i've offered to do it, she don't want me touching it so what do i do..

Dude, thats fine even at 170,000 that means that the car on average has only done about 15K each year! to date. Compared to the average of about 20-25K P/Y. it wouldnt suprise me if this car is more closer to the 210-220K mark.

predator,

She said its blue smoke, and yes your right it sounds like the motors copmression is up shit creek. So what does that tell you? the motor is older than it is, or has had a really hard life.

If you bought it with a warranty then don't service it now at your own expense.

Ring them & tell them what's happened & that you'll bring it in after your exams.

Meanwhile, concentrate on school & get that out of the way.

Good luck (& don't trust dodgy car yards, no matter how "nice" the salesman seems).

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
