ok, i was heading onto the highway after work to day, give it a bit, from 60km-100km

and noticed what looked like a BIG cloud of durty smoke,at the same time i could here a strange sound from the engine bay(like a grinding/rattleing sound)???

clearly this cant be good,could this be a turbo problem(it is the standars turbo), or could it be a number of different kind of things?

i'm going to see a mechanic this week but thought i would ask here to get peoples thoughts

oh should the boost gauge sit on 0 when the car is idoling, i also noticed it has dropped to the bottom of the gauge

oh and dors anyone no any good mechanics on the gold coast(around southport) i dont want to have to go as far as brissy to get fixed if dont have to)

boost gauge should not be on zero....

puff of smoke could have just been fuel though if your getting grinding sounds in conjunction ect. I'd be getting it to a mechanic asap (dont boost it till then).

i thought it may have been fuel,but it was a hell of a lote ,car will be sitting on the shed ,so here i come public transport,oh heah

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
