Hey Guys just need some thoughts,

i recently got my car tuned ever since have not had any problems, Was out a couple hours Ago Went for a bit of a Joy ride , Went a bit hard on the car on the motorway But then suddenly the car just wasnt performing as it should , It was reading no boost at all.. If i gave it petrol It would not Hit boost at all so in other words it was reading 0 Boost on the boost gauge.... I checked for any smoke coming out of the exsaust No signs of any unusuall coloured smoke and the engine was not knocking at all or making any weird noises..

Any ideas Guys ???

umm that description isn't good.....most likely you've blown a turbo. On the bright side it sounds like your motor survived, not everyone is that lucky.

If you have a cat, pull it off the front pipe and see if there is a turbo compressor blade in there....

Thanx for the feedback guys.. Duncan im pretty sure it aint the turbos mainly because the car was not blowing blue/White smoke for starters .... Motor is actually brand new just done a rebuild on it too Im hoping its not that... I was under the inpression it was a boost leak or some hose has came off but just wanted to get some other feed back..

thanx guyss

Yeah, it happened to me twice on calder's straight, flat out and then suddenly a loud POP noise. Both hoses on either side of the intercooler, once each.

sounds like what happened to me... i feel much better now.. illl check it out in the morning .. thanks alot pal...

Hey,

In regards to an intercooler pipe popping off, this happened to me the other weekend. The difference between our stories, I heard a POP like Yawn did and then it lost power and had to pull over where it died and would only start and idle for about 5 sec before stalling.

So yeah check all your pipes, it may not be a big enough vacuum leak to stop the car like mine did but enough to let out pressurized air, ie no boost.

Cheers!

Yeah, i lost power and i wasn't even getting 1 psi of pressure.

The first time it popped off I had to go back in and forced it back on. The 2nd time it happened it was dislodged way too far off and i didnt have the tools to fit it back on so i had to drive all the way back to my workshop with the hose off. Not the best thing to do but i had no choice besides getting a few hundred dollar bill to get it towed back.

I was having trouble even getting to 80kmh :)

Yeah had a look at the car today Most intercooler piping seemed fine i couldnt figure it out and problem is i have a front body kit so really i couldnt get a real good look so im going to takeit to a mates workshop tomorow and he can have a better look mainly because i aint too famililiar with things like this.. but yeah yawn sounds like were in the same boat.. ill let you know how it goes guys

thanx alot for all the help....

Just wanted to let you know you were spot on Turbos were gone the car did not blow any smoke until the mechanic took it for a test drive ..... :)

woo hoo 1 point for me.

but -1 for you :P

second hand gtr turbs are cheap but who knows how long before they die too....best to get them highflowed with steel wheels now.

Yeah ended up getting N1s .... Had some money lying around... its amazing though everyone i spoke to said it was intercooler piping or some hose like everyone....

Thanx Dunc.....

well like r31 gagz said, normally with a cooler pipe the car won't run at all (unless it only opens up under boost which is much rarer). Anyway, the 34 n1 turbs are the pick of the crop, you will enjoy the upgrade

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
