hey guys. ive just had my turbo off to fix a snapped dump pipe bolt. i have everything back on now. my problem is that theres a fair bit of smoke coming from around the turbo. i know its normal to have a bit from the gaskets. i dont think it could be a leak. everything is done up tight. unless maybe the turbo to manifold gasket has to go on a certain way?

Smoke, could be burning oil from spillages while doing the job, if it goes away your all good but if it persists it could be the oil lines leaking, they carry a fair bit of pressure while running.

thanks for the reply buddy but it has died down now. so must have just been the gasket/oil burning. i knew that would happen after i made a new thread. oh well thanks for the reply. :P

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
