i think it dose but im in gold coast also i checked the turbos have alsot of sharft play if i clean out all the intercooler and pipes and turbos and hook a catch can up to the rocker cover & if the catch can fills up that would mean the engine is that right?? and if it dosnt it will mean the turbos

It could be anything from a blocked crancase breather to a completely farked engine.

If it's from a car yard, is there a statutory warranty applicable?

Mate if its got warranty use the warranty and dont touch anythign yourself....All you might do is stuff yourself over with the warranty.

The company should nominate a workshop for you to take it too and get them to fix it completely. Also note everything down thats wrong, when you called them etc etc

You bought from Sydney but you are on Gold Coast making it too difficult to return the car for warranty?

You need to take it to a mechanic who is familiar with Skylines.

He shouldnt do this ATM...it will void his warranty. He should contact the place purchased and ask what they want him to do... They will hopefully nominate a workshop uphere for him to take it too.... ALthough this may seem like the shit option. It means that his warranty will be honoured and it could save him thousands (possibly ten thousand if the motors dead).

I would use the warranty and remove your name and other personal details from this thread just in case the dealer is on here and voids it.

We all know you just checked a few things and cleaned, you didnt screw with anything so maybe get a moderator to remove some details of where you got it from?

All the best mate

hi guys they dont want a bar of it they think i wound the boost up and blew i as i know i didnt were should i go from here i have taken it to nissan they checked it all out they said engine is all good but the turbos need replacing what turbos would you recomend thanks alot guys for your help sorry about the hasstle

sucks to hear mate, i dont think warranties cover wear and tear parts like turbos. Plenty of threads on here about turbo upgrades, if your like me and want a nice streeter then just get yours rebuilt from a company like gcg or gt-ss or 2860-7.

do a quick search and u will find more info then you can read.

cheers mate

u want (-9 or -7) if u happy to run around 300-320kw without forging ya motor

-10 is not suitable as its very laggy on 26

as a fellow R34 GTR owner and member of SAU QLD, i can not recommend highly enough Dan from ERD

he has done LOT of GTR's and is a Top bloke, who does not over charge jus cos it GTR ... believe me i know !!

I would say just take the car to ERD "not too far from GC anyway" and get his professional opinion

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
