I am thinking a turbo has totally lunched itself.Engine oil seems normal and it isnt running hot...So I would assume the head gasket to be healthy still..But gutless and water leaking...This is turbo.Water is leaking into the inlet from the turbo...thats why you got it at the BOV..Also explains why its getting to the exhaust.Now if for arguments sake headgasket was gone it would also cause similar symptoms...However I think it would be overheating within minutes and your oil would be looking like choco milkshake.So the problem seems to be isolated on the turbo side of things..I am thinking one of your turbos survived and the other is dead...Thats why you got some boost there and also why its slow to respond...Maybe I am wrong...but definately worth inspecting

disconnect both turbos from the air filter pipe and the boost pipes and check the turbos.

Check that the inlet pipes do not have any oil or milky oil.

If they are 100% clean then id go see a mechanic to be sure, do a leakdown test and compression test as well

In the meantime do not drive the thing...If you got water coming through the BOV then there is a pretty fair chance you gonna get a water build up in the intercooler also..It will come on boost,pressurise the water built up in the intercooler into the engine and BANG ! Conrod hanging out the side of the block

Maybe try disconnecting the wiring to fuel injectors (so it wont start) and turning it over and listen to see if it sounds normal. If compression is low in one or more cylinders due to blown head gasket it won't turn over at a constant speed...it will speed up when on compression stroke of bad cylinder..

Certainly not a subtitute for comp and leak down test but very easy to do and will indicate major comp loss...

Hey Cheers guys for this info hey! Certainly Opens up for some suggestions to ask a mechanic about it! Just i gotta find a good mechanic now in Townsville as i have only been here for 6 months and the car hasn't been in a shop here yet!!

With all this stuff that could be wrong with it, all i can see is $$$$ Symbols and bank account going down! Maybe i should lash out and get NEW Turbos!

did u get past 0 mark on boost gauge at all.. if one of the turbos let go, you will only make it to around 0 mark.. also someone on here mentioned if one of the rear wheels on the turbo is blown, u can check if it placing your hand over the air filter inlet pipes.. think the blown one will blow air rather than suck.. maybe someone can clarify..

Right i started it this afternoon and let it run for about 20 mins. Was checking if it overheated but went well. Stabbed the accelerator for a bit and saw less smoke then 3 days ago. There seems to be a little more watery stuff coming out of the exhaust at this stage but this could be condensation yeah???

My turbo gauge on the center console is running halfway between 7 and below the 0. Is this the normal operating?? When i Rev it it goes up to 0. I really haven't seen it go past the Zero that much! Does it go past the 0??? I have a Boost Gauge in the car on the pillar but it doesn't seem to work anymore cause the gauge just sits like minus 400 or whatever it is! The light to turn it on still works!!! lol!. Could it be electric Problems as there is a little valve or solenoid in the Engine bay which it is connected up to???

Oh and another question. What does the PCV?PCM? Valve do near the Battery in a 32 GTR????. I remember one day taking a small cup and small bearing out of the rubber lines years ago as i heard it did something better! But unaware if it really did make any difference??? So it has been running like that with out the little Bearing and Cup thingy for years now.

  • 1 month later...

the pcv valve is located mid engine..pollution control valve on the left side if looking in front of it...could be inlet leak??

my GTR does the same...when warming up...water/exhaust crap..come out of the exhaust....think thats condensation n pretty normal.

But yeh prob do comp n leak down test to make sure.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
