Well I'm starting to compile a list of the parts that will be needed for my old 22 year old Peugeot 306 XR. On start up she does smoke quite a lot which I'm suspecting is the valve stem seals purely because after a while the smoking settles down. I've owned the car for almost 7 years (Bought her in November 2008) and she has been off the road now for almost 4 years. In total she has clocked up 153,328 miles which isn't too bad at all for an old 1.4L engine.

Engine is a TU3 series 1,360cc producing (once apon a time) 75bhp which sounds like nothing compared to a lot of cars on this forum. The car has no rear window which was my fault but as for corrosion it isn't as bad as it should be for a car of this age, there is quite a bit in the engine bay which I want to deal with but underneath it isn't too bad. I took the pictures with a stock digital camera so I am far from an expert at it so please bare that in mind :P

I've bought some decent 10-40w engine oil from the store that I work at, doesn't have to be amazing as I just want something clean because the oil has been sitting in there for almost 5 years, I have a new filter and some Wynns engine flush for my day off when I have time to do it. I've been told an numerous occasions to scrap it and quite a few times I've tried but couldn't bring myself to do it, I'm stuck with her and that is OK to me and since it is a 1993 XR there are only around 500 left on the roads in the UK so all the more reason to keep her and once I can find a garage or somewhere to rebuild her I'll make a record so I can put together a build log of some description.

No-one wants to see your old Peugeot in a Skyline specific section, did you misplace it here? The new Euro section above might have been better. :P

Cold start smoking can just be a little blowby causing excess oil to drop down from the PCV overnight and sit on the valve, nothing to worry about usually, unless it does it all the time.

That would have been better but couldn't find it and also it does it all the time on start-up.

All the time, meaning constantly while running.

As a test just drop the PCV off the intake for a few days, and plug the intake side only. Should prove it's the PCV or not pretty quickly.

All the time meaning on start-up. I leave it running for around 10 minutes and the smoking calms down. What is the PCV?

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
