Ok i need some advice/help

Today while driving my car it started making a tapping noise, the noise got very loud so i pulled over and there was smoke coming out of the left side of the motor not much just a tad :flamed:

I decided to get my car towed, i havent yet got it looked at but i am looking towards the worst, the car still turns and starts but wont keep going for long, how much do new motors for an r32 gts-t cost.

It sounds like the car has no compression :) :ghost:

sorry if this sounds like no sence but i am writing it in a hurry in hope for some advice

thanks heaps

Thanks dr drift

someone has actually mentioned to me that my welsh plugs are stuffed could this be the cause (i did just have one replaced) how many welsh plugs do they have?

also my car lost all the water and it hasnt gone into the motor cause i can see its all on the bottom of the floor of the engine.

also what are the symptoms if it is something to do with the pistons, sorry i may sound silly but i honestly dont have a clue

There's around 20 something plugs... could be the cause of the lost water, but not the cause of the tapping noise...

Call me on 0411 878 961 and I'll try and work out what the problem is over the phone. Could be pistons or valvetrain.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
