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?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
