hey guys,

i've had this problem with my 32 for quiet some time now and it's beginning to shat me Basically, when cruising, all is fine and no sign of smoke through the rear vision mirror. However, if i put my foot down and ramp up to top end, once i begin to slow down, a massive cloud of white smoke follows It certainly smells like oil so im thinking it's burning oil. Why? I've replaced the turbo but no advancement..

I read up on here somewhere that it could be related to the PCV valve? I know for a fact that when driving hard, the dipstick pop's out and covers my engine bay with oil? I've taped it down so that's no drama atm..

Has anybody had similar problems or suggestions as to how i should go about rectfying it? As for the car, it's an rb20 R32 gtst with fmic, exhaust etc;

Thanks in advance,

nuR

If youre popping out the dipstick you have a fair bit of blow by, which points to shagged rings.

Under boost the pcv valve closes anyway, i doubt it's your problem. The big question is, how much oil is in the intake pipes?

just wanna say that i've fixed the problem and it nothing to do with a rebuild :) It was simply a hose which was being blocked off..As for the distick, the rubber seal wasn't sealing which was causing it to blow off..All is good now :D

And that is exactly why you should seek professional advice from mechanics before taking further steps from information received here.

Maybe you should edit your previous post in this thread.........

Why?

I was merely stating that as much as it is hard to diagnose faults at the best of times when you have the car in front of you, it is even harder to diagnose faults with limited information and hundreds of possibilities with no method of testing from where I sit. That is why it is important, no matter what anybody says on these forums, that you take your car to a professional for accurate diagnosis.

I still resolve to say that there is an underlying problem still as the dipstick should not pop out under the circumstances that he has described.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
