Just a quick question recently had engine built by sydney workshop. Had it a week & it blows white smoke only sometimes. Would it be because its just a fresh engine or would it be other circumstances to the problem. Has me slightly worried any ideas guys why this is. Cheers

one of your valve stem seals could be causing you a bit of trouble....maybe not sealing correctly because it was damaged when they incorrectly assembled the head last time....or damaged when repairs were being made to the valve train.

send it back and demand they fix it!

Your not having much luck with this engine mate :P

If it were me, I would be taking it to another workshop and sending the original engine builder the bill for any repairs that are needed.

your description of the problem is very general and not specific enough to necessarily indicate a problem. as you dont indicate when the smoke is seen (idle, under load etc?), it could be possible that the smoke your seeing is just a bit of richness added by your tuner for safety?

Was the engine correctly run in?

Idle it for any extended periods of time (more than 30 seconds) and you can bet your arse you will glaze those bores.

If it has been run in correctly, then you shouldn't have to worry about this.

Any chance you could be more specific on when the smoke is seen?

Also, do not do as suggested and take it somewhere else and send in the bill to the previous workshop. You will not get one red cent out of them. The law states that a workshop MUST be given the opportunity to rectify the problem at their cost (if it's their fault), otherwise you will have no legal claim to monetary compensation.

so it was just a freshen up then... lol

what about the head specifically, did they replace things like valve stem seals?

has it had a compression test and leak down test since the rebuild?

thats a piss off, after spending that much coin and still having problems.

Your correct, however as I understand it the workshop in question has already had to rebuilt it for a second time due to valve train issues after the initial build.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
