As most of you a prob aware by now, my 33 started a boost leak on kellies last cruise,

was thought to be the gasket between the inlet manifold and the turbo,

after much f**king around, snapping studs, and having to go as far as taking the whole turbo out,

i put it all back together over last night and this afternoon,

and the verdict ITS STILL f**kING DOING IT!

and to add fuel to the fire, its blowing a little clack smoke (never used to)

and runs/idles like shit!

im so over this f**king thing,

but, any ideas on whats going on?

if not, ill be taking it to a workshop and let them rape me in the ass,

im not pulling the kent apart again

:)

everthing is tight, most of the joiners are brand new....

im tempted just to drive it to morpowa and tell em i dont want it back till its sorted...

i just dont wanna miss out on kadina on saturday....

cars....why do we bother?

Im sure you probably have but, have you made sure all your silicon and rubber hoses for the piping are all in good condition when i first bought my car it had a boost leak because a 90 degree rubber elbow for the IC piping had a crack in it.

black smoke means you have a fuel problem, like too much of it. or a vacuum leak stuffing up the air fuel ratio.

could be a hose loose , a fuel regulator stuffed(pretty common on the older skylines) or even a jammed fuel injector, leaking fuel into cyl.

are u sure you didnt forget to plug in a vacuum line or maybe crimped it somehow?

does it run at higher rpm out of gear or stumble bad? under load does it run good or stumble bad?

kinda hard to troubleshoot without see it in person but hope this helps the hunt

pull your afm off put a freezer bag over it and then reinstall it.

then pump some compressed air into your vacum line to your fuel reg and listen for where the air is coming from.

doing this will presurise your whole engine and every vac and pressure hose on the car.

takes 2 minutes and prob solved.

You know, it'd prob be something so simple and obvious in the end! :)

Do as Dangerman says and then start at the filter and work your way thru slowly.

Could it also simply be that you've shagged the turbo?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
