Have just replaced original turbos with some 34 N1 Turbos.

I have had car for 2.5 years of which no time has been spent on the road still as import -

1st year had a body rebuild new panels paint etc etc

When first got car had a full service done new boots new twin plate clutch all new fluids etc etc

Next year car was stripped and had panels replaced new rails new glass etc etc

Last year had front turbo blow (took me a year to figure this out)

Got around to getting some second hand 34 N1s over christmas and have just done the install.

After install I found a small oil leak from the front oil banjo bolt (tweaked washer) fixd

Then I had a small gasket leak from rear dump to front pipe (front pipe seat slightly warped so flatened it out etc)

Now I have some darkish smoke coming from in between two turbos? Cant see anything from underneath

At first I can see front o2 sensor line is crossing between hard oil and water lines so maybe melting rubber but cant visually see this? Other then that Im not sure what it could be it seems like coming from below turbos? Any ideas?

My rims are off at the moment getting fixd so cant take it out for test drive and check Im making boost. From idle it sounds like car is reving fine etc.

Car is blowing little white smoke etc can this happen from stale fuel?

Im going to do a radiator flush and chuck some new coolant in.

Is there any thing else I should be checking changing?

Fuel could be year and bit old? stale?

I have done 40kms (near 2 years) since service so im guessing i dont need to do full service??

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated, This project has consumed alot of my time and I want to make sure its all perfect before I get it regod>

thanks in advance,

Dan

Not trying to be mean or anything but one would think that a year old fuel can't be good for the car - stale or not?

Don't know how true that is though.

I would definitely do a full service - change the oil / filter since that has been sitting there too?

Fuel should go stale after about 3-4 months and it'll struggle to hold revs up with stale fuel

Is it burning up straight away or as soon as the car gets hot?

Could just be some spilt oil on the turbos/manifold from install..oil takes a while to burn up even when its on a hot surface. Give it a quick clean with a high pressure hose, if it comes back, then check the gaskets on the oil return lines...the water lines and oil feed don't have gaskets but give them a check anyway..could be leaking anyway.

    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
