hey guys i bought an R33 S2 last week. It has a front mount , boost controller , AFC Neo and SARD FPR with Walbro 255LPH in it , Recent dyno showed around 208RWKW. good buy for 14,000 with 90,000. I found it was running like 13.5 boost so i put it down to around 12 / 12.5psi and had it like that for 2 weeks . Went awsome until last night i was drivin home with my mates in car gettin up this steep hill. It was spinning the wheels so i punched it for some fun lol and then i just heard this massive f**kin wining sound it then my boost wouldnt go past 0. It blows smoke like a steam train after around 3000rpm or whenever you push the throttle all way in . Now is it bad to drive my car to work and back like this ?? and also does anyone have any SPECS or info about the VG30DET turbos they are selling at SSS for $250?? are they goin to be as good as my last turbo and will it make the same power

And a $250 turbo is like a $10 hooker, you don't know what you'll get, but you can bet it ain't no bargain. Expect to pay 4500 plus for a s/h and $1500 plus for a good turbo.

Not all blow jobs are the same!!!

as long as the heaps of people are warranting their opinions then there is nothing to lose. (i'm sure if anything goes wrong they will be there with their wallets out).

but if the compressor wheel is now rubbing on the housing and some something makes its way thru the intake.....

turbo gone = a good reason to consider parking it and replacing the turbo asap

i've had heaps of people say its safe to drive my car so what can really happen

And they are ur 15yr old sister?

Think about it, the turbo is rooted, and blowing oil.

Therefore loosing oil will cause a drop in oil pressure.

Low oil pressure = fked motor if it gets damaged too much

Even if you cant "see" it'll still be burning oil if you can see it anyhow

And then there is the above, with bits going through the motor... common logic fails some people

hey before you go off at people

go through the threads in Forced Induction Performance and you will find the names

R31nismoid and Guilt-toy alot.. these guys along with some others have helped many many SAU'ers

and if Guilt-toy can get his "line running on E85 >_< im sure he knows what he's talking about..

99.9% of people know driving on a blown turbo = very bad idea..

you asked for an opinion and you got them.. thats what the forums are for...But not all news is good news..

park it get a second hand rb25 turbo.. install it and drive again...

it depends what has f**ked up in your turbo,,,,, yes you can drive some turbos around that are blown with no probs..... but no you cannot drive every blown turbo without something else getting damaged...... its a risk you have to deide on,,,,,, we are on the forums, havent seen your car, havent seen what damge has been done..... maby your mechanic is right but what if hes wrong????

allot of people on this forum know quite a lot more than allot of mechanics around and some of them are mechanics on here...

for example i dont know guilt_toy from a bar of soap but from what ive worked out he is really into his car and experiments with it, this guy knows these cars inside out and if you are going to be online here asking for peoples help you will get straight answers from some of these guys... what you have to do is workout who the online worriors are and who genuwinely know what they are talking about....

and if your going to get offended by anyone who says anything you dont like then dont come onto the forum, i dont know why you got angry for?

and i know why you asked the original question.... because you are having doubts about your mechanics..... stick with your gut feeling and just dont drive the car unless you can afford to fix a f**ked engine..... end of the day its your choice....

PS: im sure the guys online are sorry to give their unbiased opinion to a fellow skyline owner even if he isnt an SAU member...

If you wanna be like that, go and talk with your 'mechanics'

Dont bother starting anymore threads and waste our time.

Thanks

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
