Hi. It seems the car is not ok after all... Two days ago when I took the car on track and drifted with it, the extreme oil consumption started again. A lot of oil is blowing out of the blow off valve, and oil coming in the intercooler/air intake pipes. Also there is some smoke from the exhaust (white/blue) when changing gear and when letting of the throttle pedal, not visible in the rear mirror, only when watching outside behind the car...

I took a compression test while the engine was cold, and all cylinders had good compression (150psi), except for cylinder #2, that was only 60psi.

So my question is, could the low compression on cylinder #2 cause all this oil blowing out of the engine? Or is it the turbo I recently fitted faulty ? :happy:

I hope I can hear yours opinions, thanks in advance.

It turned out it was worse than cracked rings, four of the pistons had cracks around them :P

Next time I will be more carefull when buying a used car that was used for drifting :)

Lucky for me that my dad is mechanic, so he can rebuild the engine without costs except for new parts..

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
