hey guys

got an r32 gtst with a r34 turbo with r32 actuator got it running 14psi nistuned so everything should be sweet

getting surging around 2-3000rpm more on cold but happens when warm to.. im thinking it could be the actuator buggering up sometimes it boost's Fkn hard sometimes it doesnt but still hits 14psi

im running new splitfire coils on .8 gapped coppers

when i baught the car it had a catch can but i had to get rid of it to get over the pits so its plummed back into the stock intake

when im boosting it blows black as usual but a little bit of white aswell.. could the white smoke be blow back from the turbo? meaning do i need to put another catch can on it? ive also noticed with the stock boost gauge in the car it moves ferom 0 to -7 as it chooses could the gauge moving b sending mixxed signals to the ecu?

also a mechanic mate of mine told me it could be something to do with the brake cylinder??

any opinions would be wikid!

Think you need to probably explain the situation a bit better

Are you mainly worried about the white smoke?

Could just be moisture in the exhaust when cold from sitting over night and then as the exhaust heats up it just evaporates into white smoke...

White smoke is usually an indicator of water/coolant

if its a bluey smoke then it could be burning oil.

But more info will probably help

now thinking about it my water pump went a little while ago so i got all my belts pump and radiator redone so yer main concern is the smoke drawing unwanted attention and i dont want to do any engine damage.

iwhen i baught the car it was a stock rb20 turbo running a stupid amount of boost so got rid of that and put the r34 turbo on.. ive really only noticed the smoke since getting a nistune done... could they have buggerd the tune up? and apparently u can smell fuel from my car driving about 20mtrs behind it..

does that help anymore?

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
