As some of you may be aware i slipped and broke my GT-R yesterday.

I need helping with ideas of what has happened. the Symptoms are:

High pitch noise and white smoke from under the bonnet when trying to start.

It did start 1 time but i had a huge amount of white smoke out of the exhaust.

When we took our foot of the gas the car immediately cut out again.

Im thinking ive cracked a hose somewhere and the started motor may have pooped itself.

Thoughts?

IF anyone is keen there is a 6 pack for the person who knows what the problem is. as i'm pretty stumped at the moment.

I will be doing compression tests and all the random stuff on Saturday but i would just like some ideas on what it might be so i know where to go.

Thanks guys

yeah the smoke is white, very white. but i have not seen the smoke since yesterday when it first broke. the car won't even attempt to start now. its got that high pitch noise and a bit of smoke under the bonnet when it tries to start. hence im thinking starter motor. but im unsure

I think started motor but im not sure. im still new to the skyline engines. but yeah it sounds rooted. but im unsure as to what else is wrong. because the whole car just died on me on the way home. i thought i might have run out of petrol but after all this it can't be petrol. so im lost. hopefully me and a few mates can figure out whats wrong tomorrow. p.s Anyone Thats free today that lives like condor area free that might have an idea?

thanks guys.

what exactly happened when it broke? Ie were you driving and it all of a sudden let go? with a big cloud of white smoke coming out the back? Was the turbo boosting at all after it happened? or did you shutdown the car straight away.

I was at idle going around a corner and the whole car just gave up, rolled to a stop. i had boosted about 3 minutes before hand. no smoke when it did die. I think what has happened is i was low on fuel and there was some gunk in the bottom of the tank and ive clogged my fuel filter somehow. and my started motor just chose this time to die as well.

Smoke out exhaust?

Head Gasket? If there is water in your cylinders it will come out the back in a white cloud.

What happens when you turn the key now? Does it roll over but not start? or are you getting no response at all?

Check the normals such as coolant color and see if it's got oil in it. Vise versa with the oil check if it's got coolant.

Maybe post up in the forced induction or general maintenance thread they will have a good idea as well.

Check for fuel so maybe pull the line off the regulator and prime it to see if fuel comes out.

Also pull the spark plugs out and make sure it's getting spark.

Im getting no response at all anymore, when it was turning over i got white smoke out the back off the car as well as a bit under the bonnet. tomorrow im pulling the fuel filter out as well as the starter motor. from what i can see i may have lost a tiny bit of oil, coolant is fine however. I was thinking head gasket to begin with but now im not sure. as when the car died i was low on fuel its very suspicious...

when i say no response my car the started motor sequels in pain however it does try to turn over, i know it isnt spark plugs/coils so im thinking its fuel related or a head gasket. i think the starter motor just decided to brake at this time and it isnt related (i hope).

What did the smoke under the bonnet smell like?

Have you ever smelled fuel thats not burning but its so hot it turns to white smoke? a very odd smell.

Do you know what fried wires smell like? (starter motor)

The other white smoke is coolant burning, after all the water has boiled away. smells like a chemical factory. like its gunna choke you.

Your nose is a chemical sensor that is very easy to use.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
