Nissan skyline r33, gts-t, hi-flow turbo, 2.5 Ltr 6 cyl, 1994, metallic black, 5 speed manual, 92000kms, stock intercooler, full 3" exhaust from turbo, GTR rear wing, front and rear strut-braces, 17" light weight rims, HKS pod filter, Apexi turbo-timer, adj. electronic in-cabin boost controller, boost gauge, lowered adj. suspension..........

HERE"S wat is happening.........

soon as i start the car it seems fine.....touch the throttle an it looks like theres a bush fire in my exaust tonnes an tonnes of whity grey smoke pours out......turbo still comes on boost.....no knocks or noises at all in the motor or newere on the car......oil is ALL through the piping on the engine side of the turbo......an i mean LOTS OF OIL......there is no smoke or any vapour under the oil filler cap nor any milky build up newere.....the only place i can c oil is leaking out of is were the BOV is meant 2 b.....so would b coming out the BOV if i had 1 there.....that is all i kan tell u at the moment from wat i have cheked.........

hope this can help sum ppl with trying 2 diagnose my car

Its dead easy to diagnose and you've been told a few times in this thread. Get a compression test done. Any mechanic can do it.

If your compression is down your engine is stuffed. Then you get a leakdown test to work out if its the pistons and rings or if its the head. Then you start saving.

If the compression is OK its almost certainly your turbo, get it taken off and inspected by someone who knows turbos.

But don't keep asking for help and then ignoring when ppl give you the right answer.

From a very similar experience, Number 6 Cylinder, ring lands are on their way out.. It will only be a matter of time until you put a hole through the piston its self and then its a new set of pistons job....

If you do a compression test it will still have compression in the cylinder, but may be a little less then the others. It will be number 6 cylinder that will go first. So see if you can do a check on it, but it will eventually get worse depending on, If you bring it on boost a lot.

thanx ppl's....

ohh an im not inoring ne1 if i was inoring u then would i be busy at the moment trying 2 find a mechanic 2 do these test 4 me asap..??? neway thanx 4 the advice........BBQ so wat u r saying is even if it is the ringlands on 6 an i get that fixed then sooner or l8r that no.6 is gonna go neway..????

COSTS INVOLVED IN A REBUILD:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Remove and Replace engine - $1500

Labour to strip down and rebuild motor - $1500-2000

Head service - $600

Miscellaneous gaskets, oils, etc etc - $500

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Forged pistons - $900 -> $3000

It should cost anywhere from about $4000 upwards to do a proper engine rebuild, not including any upgraded parts like forged pistons, rod bolts, etc etc... Add those to the rebuild cost.

She's only a lowly paralegal, but she's got GREAT legs :D

Does it cost a lot more to R&R an RB26? They're the prices I'm working off that I was quoted from 3 workshops here in Sydney to R&R my RB26... I wouldn't have thought an RB25 would be that different? dunno.gif

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
