Hi all, just asking for people's opinions.....

The car has lost top end power like a mofo, feels like its not even going anywhere after like 4500-5000rpm.

There is a little oil in the intake manifold soemhow and its leaking out into the engine bay....i have taken off the intercooler piping to find a little oil inside there too....iam seriously clueless what the go is......i take off the blow off value...and there's a little oil in there....i take off the manafold....there's a little oil in the throttle body.....

oil pressure is fine, i check the oil 3 times a day and its going fine....just losing it into the bay/intake.....

have been told by a few people its called 'blow by' and could be the rings.....one other mate reckons it doesnt have all the symptoms of fried rings and its the turbo which is rooted......

i might as well mention i have had the stock s1 r33 gts-t turbo at 15 psi a couple of times for a few drags.....my bad

any of you smarties on here have any ideas?

Are you still making the same boost through the  rev range

the boost gauge tells me i am but it has a bit of a splutter and it sure as hell doesnt feel like 10psi used to.....even a commodore cold prob beat me now....

after a little while when i'd give it full stick on full boost it would feel like its going nowhere. I little extra black exhuast fairy dust on my back bumper too.

Its booked into gavin woods workshop here tomorrow so hopefuly its nothing really major....i dont mind if its the turbo, good excuse to upgrade.....i just want to know how its leaking oil into the intake pipes/manifold.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
