Gd morning :yucky:

well dismorning, i got ready for work... and roughly 10mins before i leave i start my car to warm up so when i jump in i can just go :) i do this every day!!! so did the same today!!

i didnt see no smoke all the way to work, :S i mean i kept it off boost and didnt touch a thing since yestday

car temps where normal and so was oil pressure.

i recalls doing my service 'oil change n filter' just after boosting it!! and recall the oil being slighty over the mark =S

and my rocker over flow pipes are stuffed i rekon... coz i noticed the pipe that goes up n into the inlet had a small amount of oil where the rubber 'which is more hard like plastic' LOL joins the metal pipe.

so could be blocked and just unblocked itself n burnt it :S

i aint sure... just wierd how my SKYLINE is okay

Gaz

Yeah, my car it was kind of similar.

There was no smoke only sometimes.

After driving did you check your dipstick too see if theirs oil in it?

nah its a 15min ride... lol pretty sure it wuldnt use 5litres in that time and only 10km ride to workies

+ oil pressure was good

=( gonna clean the PCV tonite and fit new breather pipes :P

Haha yeah tell me how it goes :(

With my car everything was fine too,

just a weird exhaust note like a coil pack was busted.

I checked the oil and it was empty just after i topped it up.

Then the next morning i checked it and it was all there.

Very weird, but i think because of the blow back into the cooler

pipes. After when i took apart my car and sat my cooler on it's side

a whole puddle of oil came out =(!

yeha man i checked my oil used about half of a dip stick...

valve guide seals???

or?? i mean smokes when u let it idle then pull away or few light REVS

:wub: pretty worried... i lift of the oil cap, it doesnt spit out... if anyfing it draws air in...

so i am sure it aint the rings!! compression test is happening the w/e still!!

i mean from the exhaust i can smell something else burning... not just fuel/heat...

probably oil..

:worship: GaZZa

will check more when i get home from TAFE

********************* 10:30pm ****************** UPDATE BELOW !!!

erm after returning home from tafe i let the car sit for 20mins and checked dip stick... was fine

omg RAWR!!! so i spent all afternoon taking out the plugs and checking them!!!

well plug 1 was fairly loose kinda had signs that it wasnt sealing rite but other then that

PLUGS 1-5 where grey, no wear or nuffing.

then i pull PLUG 6 out

and the END IS WHITE/ really really light grey 'more white'

any answers for that???

and i also had a look at the top of pistons, through the holes... 1-5 'matt grey' and number 6 looked to be damp/liquidy on it :S

ended up wiping sum of it... culdnt really tell if it was fuel/oil or water :S

maybe the white plug hints something???

thanks Gary

P.S not much smoke happening now... please help me... loosing hair / sleep haha

Yeah thats what i thought tooo

and thats what i have read on the net... too lean 'too much air' or overheating on that one

anyways here is pictures

take note or the name of the pictures 6-5-4 'is plug order on pixxey' and 3-2-1.

'omg BS >< if it was pistons wuldnt u be burning oil.. n wuldnt it be worse @ cold start '

i had this exact problem 2 months ago, piston 5 stuffed and it was burning more oil at cold start and plug was white and others normal.

by the sounds of what you said piston 6 is gone. go to a mechanic to confirm. bottom end definately stuffed, best of luck with it anyways mate.

Get it booked in for a leak down test.

Will reveal all. :S

The white tip is not a good indication.. What does the ceramic look like?

yeha i will, what places should i call that are in W.A for leakdown test??? can a mechanic do it?

the plug looked very white on the tip, then went grey towards the end 'ReF picture'.

Ceramic center insulator was fine, no damage, melting or deposits.

had a look @ ur pics.. looks like ur burnin oil in no.6

see it all the time @ work (engine reco place) and urs doesnt look all that bad thou...

its not ur turbo. if it was, ud know about it. trust me, they dont blow lil bits of blue smoke.. when they go.. they blow massive amounts of white smoke.

it looks like the oil control ring is on its way out and that piston is mighty dirtty lol lots of build up on it :(

at lunch today i went to a few car mechanics and that, they rekon its either taking in air somewhere, inject is blocked/dirty = not enuff fuel in number 6

making the rest run rich.... coz ECU is like need more fuel!!

BTW the smoke i got told looks grey/white :S lol spose it does... i mean i dunno

BTW does a leak test damage anyfing? or hurt fragile seals??? dont wana get 1 if it will blow CRAP!!

Thanks every1

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
