I have read 90% of all posts and have found nothing that matches,

Background,

Last week i recieved a bad batch of fuel, car ran ruff and got to a point where it didnt start, lots of smoke.

I did a complete drain of the tank, pulled out the fuel pump, flushed the fuel lines and the fuel filter then cranked it over a few times to clear any remainng fuel.. put in about 20lts of fresh BP ulitimate as i mannaged to get it running again like normal with boost. Drove to station and got some injector cleaner and drove aroun for 10 minutes, seemed to run ok but kinda still a lil ruff paked it up and left it for the night,

The next day i tried to start it again and it now runs again like it did before with the bad fuel, ruff idle lots of black smoke, tried to take it for a drive no luck.

stalls and runns ruff and i also then found a noise comming from the intake pipe from the rear turbo, comming out of the airflow meter loude wistle/sucking noise after a lil throttle, massive smell of fumes etc. I had the pods off at this stage.

I have newly installed Z32s as well,

Im thinking i have F ucked the rear turbo, dunno how, or its a pipe which ive inspected everywhere..

If the turbo was gone then it would still idle corect?

Im lost and alil upset, Cheers guys any help would be good.

umm maybe turbo oil seal has gone, however i remember when my rear turbo zorst wheel let go, i didnt have any hunting, idling etc issues, only boost would get +ve boost.. i assume you didnt hear it go bang.. perhaps check cat for remains of rear exhaust wheel to confirm..

Youre not making alot of sense.

When you say running rough, is it a rich rough or a missing rough?

White? Blue? Black smoke?

If you make these clear we can help diagnose.

You will always have a little bit of oil in your rear turbo, thats where all your blow-by goes so its not necessarily blown.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
