Hi Guys

I'm new to r32 GTRs (and to the forums), so please don't massacre me if this has been covered (I did a search on "oil, inlet pipe, turbo" and read the 'report that engine failure' thread, but need clarification).

So anyway, I was pulling apart my turbo inlet pipes on the GTR, checking for boost leaks and loose clamps etc, and noticed some oil pooling in the inlet pipe for the rearmost turbo.

Things to note:

1) car starts up easily and runs smoothly, but doesn't make a lot of power - seems like it doesn't want to boost (ther are some other irregularities with the coil packs that I'm looking into, but thought I mention this)

2) no strange noises coming from the turbo, and no white smoke from the zorst

3) car doesn't *seem* to burn any oil

4) The front turbine inlet seems ok.

Based on searching, it appears that it might be getting blowby (rings gone?) but are there any other more obvious explanations?

oil in the rear turbo inlet would be from the PCV system.

For all intents and purposes, quite normal and nothing to worry about, unless it is a huge mess!

Oh sweet, cheers. I will have a look in the service manual as to where the PCV's are, and how to change them!
