ok well at least its not a serious problem

how can i ehck the seal myself ? or should i leave it to the experts and tell them what has been suggested as being the prob on these forums ?

and im not losing oil i checked it as stone cold this morning and it showed up as nice n full but i do think perhaps ive lost a couple hundred mLs so ill cehk cooler piping anyways

Definately check cooler piping and cooler itself i think you'll find a bit of oil sitting in the bottom of the cooler. As for the seal get it done preofessionally, not good to play round with unless you know what ya doing. WIll more than likely be your exhast seal, very common on boosted stock R33 turbos.

my car did a similar thing to what your explaining. on the manifold theres a metal gasket that attaches to your turbo exhaust flange.

theres alot of strees on that area due to it holding up part of your exhaust and turbo, lots of them break if its not tentioned correctly.

the gasket costs $47 from nissan.

to check if its blown, remove your heat gaurd over your turbo (exhust wheel side) and look under if for any carbon deposits(black shit). also run your finger along the bottom and sides see if you get any black on your hand. if so then its 99%chance you have blown that gasket.

mine started off ticking jsut slightly, then it got worse, then i was ticking sooooooooo bad. turns out about 2cm of it spat out.

to replace it, you need to undo the water and oil lines that connect to your turbo, pretty much have to take everything off your turbo so you can make it 4cm towards you.

hope this helps

yep thansk bro, just got back form ice performance, straight away they said the noise (they listened while idling) was the turbo 'farting' because the gasket has blown, not exactly sure which gasket has blown they didnt say exactly but its gunna be around $250 for a replacement.. so sounds like ive got the same problem as sumfatchin

will get that replaced monday ;) then all should be sweet ;)

ah thank god i found this thread!

was driving home from work earlier tonight and after 30 mins or so, as i was nanny'ing it up through the gears it started making said farting noise, exactly like u guys explained it coming from around the turbo. i actually hope its the gasket and not a turbo bearing or something to do with the engine :)

got it towed to my mechanic just to be safe though lol.

anyone know if this would be covered under the AWN warranty its got?

cheers.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
