Errr, you are having a joke  :Oops:

White smoke form your exhaust, suggest moisture, nothing else. Where that moisture is coming from is the source of the problem, and not necesarily the pistons.

its not a joke and thats what we thought moisture when we first seen it but couple weeks later it got worse and wose....

it smells like burning oil... i'll post a pic of what happens when piston number 6 doesnt have compression, it leaks oil and goes throught the turbo intecooler, actuator, intake etc: and when it goes throught the turbo the turbo is hot and it burn is which makes white smoke out the exhaust.

it is no fault mate..

one mechanic told you it's a design fault and you think it's true?

as mentioned, if it was a fault, then why was it used on the R34 GTT.. and all the way up to it's last build date of what.. 1999?

there is nothing wrong with the design of the RB30, 20 red top, 20 silver top and 25...

sure they differ a little from one another but as you can see, they all have the throttle body in the middle of cylinders 3 and 4...

just have a look at these forums to see how many guys/girls have the stock plenum and running huge numbers.

look at the gibson racing team red top rb20 using stock plenum and some ridiculous numbers..

the only fault of the stock plenum is that is isn't as pretty as front facing..

By the way i was talking about stock engines. gibson racing team ? they most likley have forged pistons in their which can handle detination an they proberly have it tuned right, but with the standard ecu, internals, intercooler etc:

you'r got more chance of looseing a piston then a rubilt motor. thats why i mentioned it beause guilty beause he's got a stock engine. which means its at more risk of detination etc:

that's a cheap pump i'd be going fuel pump then front mount then avc-r...

my advice!

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
