Define “blew out”

 

Was driving home from work, turned onto my street, had 0 power on acceleration.  Engine "shook" got power back, but there was so much smoke blowing out the exhaust that I looked like I was doing the sickest burnout ever.

When I pulled into my driveway the idle was terrible the engine was shaking, I turned her off, tried to start her again and she wouldn't.

she spent 2 days at C-Red and they told me that 2 cylinders lost compression, the oil line to the turbo split and the turbo blew up too, and the head gasket went as well. 

While they were looking at her she seized up completely.

Bummer. Part out or fix? At least it made it home for you.

Sounds like the oil line blew and it ran without oil pressure

What turbo does it have?

What’s the plan?

Stock Turbo. It was just an old, high KM Engine, remember the car was parked up in a Trucking yard with no Rego for years and had a very questionable past.

 

So now I'm looking for a new engine which, these engine are stupidly expensive, and I'm going to sell my old engine to anyone who'll take it for maybe $500...

*joins the queue for a 20 year old seized nissan import engine with dubious history and blown turbo*
 
I was told there would be cake?


Wait. There was supposed to be cake? I never got any cake when my 25 ate it's bearings. I feel ripped off.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
