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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
