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

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
