Hi all trying to rule out all other possibilities on why my gtr is blowing bluey grey smoke. At the moment all signs are pointing to the 18 month old hi flowed turbo's. How ever before forking out the $2400 for my 2860-5's i want to check that it could be a simple thing as the pvc valve or blow by valve as some people call it. Where is it located on the rb26 is in on the inlet side of the head connected to the tappet covers and it should be able to be blown through one way only if i am correct ?. I can rule out valve stems seals to a certain extant to the amount of oil in the turbo compressor housing and as valve steams would leak directly into the combustion camber. I will be doing a compression test tomorrow night to make sure it is not excessive blow by as well due to worn piston rings from the previous owner being a moron and driving the car for so long on a run in tune. Any other ideas or checks that people can think to do would be appreciated.

cheers scottie

LOL Yeah not good lol, compression was down across the board and ended up being a complete rebuild :) had really bad scoring on 1 and 6 bores coursing massive blow by but it was funny no oil came through the catch can :( . How ever $13 000 later it is being put back together this week by paul at red r racing. I ended up going pretty much all out new turbos, cams, cam gears, extended sump, hks oil pump and new injectors, ross harmonic balancer, new bearnings rings ect. Also got a new clutch because the old one was almost on rivets. So if it dont go hard and put a smile on my face i am gonna burn it lol

lol i just found out after pulling the dumps off my old turbo one is completely rooted ey i have never seen a turbo with some much end float and it just started touching on the housing as well luckly i have done everything, I probley could have been fine with a turbo change and it could have lasted awhile longer but what done is done.

$13 000 i think is a pretty bloody good price since crd wanted $9000 for the engine alone if my block was good which it wasnt lol and it didnt come with a extended sump, upgraded valve springs, injectors, turbos, clutch and everything so i am pretty lucky and i had another mob wanted $10 000 for a stock rebuild.

I went for a single plate jim berry clutch the pressure plate has 3500lbs of clamping pressure and the clutch plate has some big ass dampener springs in.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
