okay now I might have to take the idea of the trubo off my mind.. car is fully running like its on 4 cylinders of somethign the whole thing vibrates when idling and sounds like a wrx under acceleration.. guess Ill just have to see what my mechanic says tomoz :D

Update: Mechanic reckons is runnign on 5 maybe 4 cylinders.. he told me to check plugs (i've replaced them), check the fuel return to the furl tank as in might have been blocked and flooding the engine (which I've done runs fine), then he said ignition module (swapped this with my mates made no difference) next up is coil packs, and if not those maybe a blown gasket between the cylinders.. any other suggestions..

Alright I think i've discovered the problem.. I replaced the whole ignition system with that of my mates r33 so I knwo it works fine.. I then proceeded to unplug each coilpack lead one at a time.. as expected the idle changed slightly.. however when I got to the 5th cylinder and unplugged in no change.. im guess this means a problem in cylinder 5..and according to the above problems I'm think maybe a bent valve or valve spring etc.. does that sound possible??

Yes............ Or a crack through the piston ring land.

But unplugging the coil pack on that cylinder still should have made a differance. Maybe the coil pack is faulty or even the loom from the module to the coil pack. Try and swap the loom from your mate's car.

PS: Make sure you have the same series engine (ie: S1 coil packs will not work in S2 engines and vis-versa)

Have you done a compression test yet.

hey guys my turbo i think, makes a noise like this RRREEEEEEEEEE lol, under load, hi revs..

i think its standard 32 but i could be wrong, still ceramic an all..

um and 15psi gets put threw it every day..

goodnight turbo?

fan belt stretchin under load?

how long left till turbo dies?

can i screw the engine if i keep it up?

sorry to hijack...

thanks chris

Yea my turbo makes same noise u mean like a winding noise, its could be the bearings and such when i got my car serviced my mechanic which is benno from racepace called up and said that turbo makeing winding noise and could be on its way, he suggested not to do a dyno because it could blow up then and it could not said should get new one befor i do a dyno, as for how long i dont know i geuss it depends how you drive the skyline and if you use it allot.

Definately nothing in cyclinder 5 and we swapped everything between the two cars.. igntion module, loom, coilpack the lot..I pulled the plugs and plug number 5 had a build up of what looked like oil on it (keeping in mind brand new plugs were fitted yesterday) I also noticed when shining a torch through the plug hole a build up of black sludgy gunk on the top of the head (or whatever ya wanna refer to it as) in both cylinder 4 and 5.. the rest were absolutely clean (i could see bare metal)

Update: Looks like a gasket, between cylinder 4 and 5...umm water coming out the exhaust, umm cylinders missing.. and when you rev it coolant comes out the radiator cap rather than runs away from it.. if that makes sense..

eh and got the compression test shit here so will do one tomoz for confirmation a head gasket doesnt worry me as much as engine damage.. im going to europe for 2motnhs shortly and my bro is a mechanic so he ca do his work while I'm away :D

It defiantly sounds like the common symptoms of a head gasket. My mate just got himself a subaru rs wagon and he has all the same problems as what your having, exept in his case oil has forced its way down his heater hose and is now filling his floor with oil and coolent lol.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
