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.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
