last weekend i went to newcastle to watch a mate drive her 200sx in the hill climb they had...on the sunday we went shopping for a few hrs and when i come back and startd the car to find it was blowing a fair bit of smoke..

at 1st i thought it must be turbo going as ive removed the rescricter,but as i drove along and boosted it the smoke went blue..this only happened for about a km or 2,drove all the 3.5hrs back to bathurst and not a sign more and still has not done it again.

but was wondering if thats normal or could something need replacing,like valve stem seals or something????

any advice would be good.cheers kane

There is always a possibility that a small amount of oil is seaping out of the front seal of your turbo once you shut it down and then once you start it agian the oil gets burnt through the system.

Take off your inlet pipe to the turbo and have a look to see if it is very oily inside (a little bit is normal). The only other true way to test the integrity of the engine is to get a leak down test done. Then you'll know for sure.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
