The younger of my twin girls decided to crawl off grandmas bed and graze her nose on the carpet the wednesday before last.

Bigger sister decides I can do one better than that and rolls off the change table onto some tiles while grandma turned her back for a few seconds. Took that one to PMH and all is good thank god.

Worst of all though my baby GTR started blowing white smoke from the exhaust everytime i took the foot off the accelerator...maybe i shoulda just accelerated all the time....engine stops running a few minutes later, try to start it up again and the engine makes a wicked grinding noise.

Apart from all that its been a great last 2 weeks.

i got the same problem. . . blows white smoke everytime boost is on then you back off, but ive just rebuilt my motor and only been driving for a few days and the turbo has also been fully rebuilt. Its got me scratching my head why its doing it. . . also it still blows the dipstick out so its cable tied in. So dont think that your rings are gone straight away, there maybe another reason

Sam5709 car had an issue with blowing smoke and blowing the dip stick out. It was a slight split in the hose at the PCV? We changed the hose, and have not had a problem since...as far as im aware anyway :P

Not good Long! We will leave the suspension fix up for now :)

Goodluck and i hope it is nothing too major.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
