Car Friendly Turbo Leak, That's Right... Stupidest Shit Ever Come See!


Recommended Posts

OK, so you replaced this half gasket [i thought you'd installed it like that, but after re reading your post you bought the car like that] and fixed up the leak.

I'd try the Safc, but don't be surprised if it doesn't fix it, it is only a signal bender, and if the ecu is broken, it still won't send the right response. Unfortunately you will not find anything out without a tune, you need a baseline tune, you can't avoid it [i know you don't have the $$$, but I can't see any alternative]. Your also in a hole, you've done some mods, but haven't finished them, the mods you have done are only half way towards the set up you need for an efficient motor with power.

Hmm, I see. Well, these are NOT my mods. The car came this way. Thank you for clearing up a lot of my questions actually. Yeah, I will be able to tune the car SOON! Woohooo! Because I got some more money. But what do you mean I am half way there mate? Is there something else that I need to do?

school hoildays must be on? or he got kicked out of school 4 being 2 dumb

WHAT'S SCHOOL????

Lol dude, honestly, it's over that already. I got your attention that's all I wanted.

so you're an attention whore..

Well, yes, I guess that would be what I am. Considering I needed the attention to get help. Just like everyone on this forum. :sick:

I thought pics would make the whole process a bit easier for you.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
