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!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
