Would have to be a pretty big leak for it to make 0psi on full load.. and you would certainly hear it.

I have had intercooler pipe leaks on GTR's before, even small ones made a large sound but I only lost a small amount of boost. The turbo's just worked harder. :P

You would also be very unlucky for both turbo's to fail at the same time.. very!

You must have a whole intercooler pipe off.. I would take the front bar off and have a really good look.

Yeah... we are gonna have a good look at it tonight. I agree, its either a whole pipe come unstuck somewhere, or another issue, cause there is no hissing sound of a small leak. Will post the answer tomorrow, cause we WILL FIND IT DAMNIT!!!

ps - just normal vacuum hoses would be the go for replacing vacuum lines, i reckon anyway.

Result....

Turbo's are BOTH f#cked!

One was partially gone for a while, but I didn't know any better, so I just thought thats what a GTR did (was still pretty damn fast)

Then the night in question... the other one went also.

... at least it wasn't my dodgey intercooler pipe replacing...

I'm going to continue crying now...

Anyone got some turbos they wanna sell me?

By gone, do you mean ceramic in the cat? If so, you could have them rebuilt with steel turbines. Otherwise there are always plenty of GTR standard turbos for sale.:cheers:

Yeah, ceramic in the cat. 1.5 wheels worth apparently.

At least I know that while I "thought" my car was fast, it really should have been alot quicker... guess I can look forward to see how GTR's really go... shames its gonna cost a few thousand $$$ to get there...

Shop around, should be about half that.  Even less if you fit them yourself:cheers:

Unfortunately its not only the turbos.....the welch plugs are leaking, the water lines behind the block are leaking and full of orange crap...and various other misfortunes....the engine has to come out....if you can do it for half that SK its all yours buddy!

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
