hi guys,

am pretty new to forced induction motors but will be attempting to fix this issue myself, any help would be appreciated.

short story:

just got a new clutch after frying the last one, 40k later i lose all top end power, as though the turbos weren't there. doing a head check i notice that when the revs are up it's blowing a lot of what at a glance is white smoke (pretty sure it's smoke and not water vapour), pulled over straight away and shut it down. many hours later... trailered it home, had to start it to get it up onto the trailer, no smoke until revs go up again, but only a little this time (rev to 2.5k). any clues??? i was thinking turbo seals? the turbos are hks gt-ss if it helps, running 15 psi. car is making roughly 310rwkw.

car is now home and i have begun removing everything but hit a snag. could someone give me some very specfic advise on removing the water pipes and lambda sensors, and also any oild lines. i am doing this in my driveway (no choice) so would much rather not getting oil everywhere.

here's a pic of where i'm at right now.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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  
    • 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.
