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

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
