I had engine shutting off on me and i fixed that by changing new plugs and replacing new coilpack harness and it fixed that problem but the car still runing like crap so i relised there is a leak where the turbo is so i tighten the turbo bolts runs better but now car is blowing out a shit load of blue smoke which is burning oil i know and now i have no idea what is wrong with it, i think its blown turbo, i had this highflowed and rebuilt befor by hypergear 2 years ago but when i changed plugs i notice carbon built up on the old ones.

any ideas??? my mechanic said he will do a compression test.

Assume it is running the oil feeding line that is supplied with the turbo, if not then it would've been oil starved and needs rebuilding.

Check turbo shaft play. (usually +/- 1mm side, and +/- 0.3mm in and out). If there are no abnormal shaft play then its likely not been a turbo issue, unless its has been driven for a while like the way it is.

Check to make sure there are no kinks or bends in any parts of the oil drain pipe that are capable of storing oil.

Check and make sure engine is not over filled with oil.

If you have a catch can, disconnect it and plumb breathers back to its usual spot.

Check engine timing.

At last remove the turbocharger and drop it by for inspection.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
