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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
