haha nice man, that may set you back a bit, im looking at getting wheels from a fridge trolley from supercheap then letting the air out, putting a pvc pipe over each wheel then pumping the tyres back up, cheap and easy.

would also need bearings and maybe a new slightly bigger axle to fit the new wheels and then should be sorted.

wedge_r34gtr i read that you removed some BOV from ur GTR and u are putting the stock ones back on, would you like to part with the ones u have taken off as long as they are in good condition?

At this stage they will be going back on the car temporarly as i don't have time to sort the recirculation piping. But in a month or so they will be coming back off. (btw - there HKS SSQS - they have a bit of gasket goo on em, but i'll be giving them a service before they go back on the car, so they will be in great condition mecanically)

Could you not use a go kart axle and wheels?

Or would that blow the budget out to much?

Come up to newy then :)

If not just go down the pass ya pussy. f**k I miss that road...

Yeah that's what the pros use Martin but your looking at ATLEAST 50 bucks for wheels an worn out tyres (you don't need tyre thread)

The axle would be around 50 and then wheel hubs to keep them on. So looking to find fridge trolley therefrom the tip or something haha

Well let me know when u take the off and dont need them, ill talk price with you then :yes:

hey guys, when i dont start my car for a week my car blows rich as f**k white smoke (smells f**kin lovely).

why does it do this?? if it was just over fueling from being in the lines itd do it every time i turn it off and let it cool down, but it has to be atleast a week.

so it must be on purpose? is there a reason any one knows of?

White smoke = burnt oil.

maybe the turbo has shit itself

The white smoke is generally associated with turbos shitting themselves from what ive read

/a blown turbo seal leaks oil straight into exhaust

http://www.gtr.co.uk...smoke-help.html

Inspected an S15 with a blown turbo and a f**k off massive cloud of white smoke came out of the exhaust when the guy accelerated and drove off.

Burning oil is black I'm pretty sure. And it boosts hard so the turbo is fine.

I'm pretty sure white smoke is fuel and blue smoke is water (head gasket)

Plus is smells like fuel. Just rich as f**k fuel. It's nice. Only happens for around 20 seconds if it happens at all.

It's done it since I got it and had it as a weekend. Since then 3 track days 2 skid days so it's not an issue.

Martin and Luke are correct.

i've never heard of a blown turbo causing white smoke...Even that link you posted was unconfirmed.

I'd say the s15 you looked at had a leaking head gasket in additon to the blown turbo.

Edited by wedge_r34gtr

Keep an eye on it Jarad. It may be just conensation build up. if it appears to be getting worse, take it to a dyno and get em to drop a pressure sensor into the cooling system. They will be able to pickup the pressure spike if you have a leaky head gasket.

Wedge....

take a look at this link... re: white smoke

http://www.gtr.co.uk...hite-smoke.html

they suggest it can also be caused by turbo or cracked piston or cracked cylinder =S

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
