Hello all, has been quite a while since I've been on here.

My R32 Gtr started blowing smoke recently, hasn't been driven that much after the engine rebuild, and it had brand new turbo's fitted when built. Has less than 3,000k's since rebuild. Build was done by Micks Motorsport.

Blows a lot of white smoke after about 10mins of normal driving. First time it happened, I parked the car, was about midday and left it until around 9 at night, started it and no smoke, drove it home with no issues. Has been up to Blue Haven and back with no smoke. Haven't given the car a hard time, its just been babied around with the occasional hit.

While moving, its not that bad but when I stop its worse. I was thinking turbo seal, but unsure as they are new.

Someone else suggested that it may need a catch can, as it could be feeding oil into the intake from the breather lines.

Any thoughts?

Who installed the engine after the rebuild? If it was the company that rebuilt the engine then take it straight back and get them to take care of it, if it was you then you're pretty much on your own unless the shop is nice enough to take a look for you.

It's a good idea to not use workshop names because a company name can easily be dragged through the mud for something that may have been of their control.

The workshop that built it didn't fit it, it went back to another workshop for them to fit while they did some other work on the car. All the work was done this time last year.

White smoke isn't oil its coolant. Take it back to them mate. If its built and tuned by them it should be warranted. 

It smells like burning oil, and the oil level was down a bit. Doesn't have that sweet smell from the coolant.

Either way take it back to the shop. Who tuned it?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
