nah its not. no blue smoke at all.

i can actually see its coming from the filter area.. just not sure exactly where.. might degrease the whole lot a couple of days before the next service to see where it is..

turbo's getting fixed once we finish scottys GTX i got a cheap quote from Hypergear so will get it done!

and if theres anymore problems im gonna buy scottys or another stock one and start again.. what choice would i have.

Hey Aaron, I hear Craig's got a good one for sale :P

Why go Hypergear? Don't want to go GTX?

Does the HKS filter have the magnet in it? Time to get ready for my next service I think, stacked on the K's since I got it!

why would i want craigs? mine puts out more power nyaanyaa.gif and im not even tuned properly yet...

i only need a bigger wastegate, ive got a stage 2 sierra and its boost creeping up top.. proves our housings are good!

i take it u dont know much about my car in particular lol

Its not the turbo's fault, or the car really. The banjo bolt restrictor would have been partially blocked in Aaron's car causing the bearings to fail. Can you imagine how easy it is to block a 1mm hole with crud? I bet most of the turbo failures have been caused by oil starvation as im running 19psi on the stock turbo for 3 months now without an issue, and at 225kw so the shaft speed is right up there...

buy craigs because its broken down less and killed fewer turbos :P

How is craigs broken Down less? His is broken more than all of us. Remember he does have a different engine coz he brokeded his other one.. Not to mention the trabsmission flaring through every gear..

Stop trying to sell the mexicans your dodgy yank products we all know anything the yanks make don't really last

Yep, Carlton. "Melbourne Business School".

Hangman's Tour at the Gaol tonight. Gonna bag me a ghost!

BTW I did actually as a question related to this thread, that got lost in the bullshit... does the HKS oil filter have a magnet in it? I'm running the Nismo at the moment and will be due for a change soon.

  • 2 weeks later...

got around to fixing my oil leak yesterday.

drained the oil, pulled off the filter.

used a 22mm deep socket to get the plate off.

I dunno if it is just mine, but it was close to being blocked with a whole bunch of gunk. as if the oil have become almost greasy mud. to be honest i dont how oil was actually travelling through..

any way.. cleaned it all up ended up talking almost half a palm full of gunk out.. put it all back together with a new Greddy filter. and filled it with sougi.

once the car was warm enough after about 10-15min of driving, i gave it some Gas.. and found out my tunes is all over the place again and lean? didnt think it would make this much of a difference..

being cleaned i know ive free'd up the oil flow alot and the engine obviously. and at Idle, the car sound 200% better than it did 3 days ago.. and every other time i've done a service...

this could also be half the reason my turbo kept blowing lol

what is everyones thought? perhaps you should all check yours???

Cam/Craig/Iain: Please dont take the piss out of this my uncle just died so im really not in the mood.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
