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?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
