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

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
