So after many seperate diagnosis of my car smoking a bit on deccel after high boost, here's what I found;

 

Two local engine tuners said turbo seals

Nissan said Stem Seals

Two other mechanics said stem seals

Turbotech*** said crank case breather system or tubbies

three people have said PCV valves specifically

 

So what I have found out is **** ALL!!! Whats the point in trying to get yur car fixed when even so call trained mechanics can't make their god damn minds up!!!!!!!!

 

So far, taken IC's off, some traces of wet oil on passenger side IC dont know if this is normal, I would think not, also passenger side tubby to IC hose was wet with oil, driver side normal, just a bit sticky but fairly dry.

 

3mm of oil swiming in bottom of plenium / intake on both ends etc, TB's clean as a whistle :confused: Hoses from IC to TB clean as a whistle :confused: :confused:

 

Blow of valve on passenger side black oil on trumpet, car runs mint most of time, a little lumpy on tick over,

 

anyone else put in there 2p on this one b4 i start buying expensive bits?

Its fairly normal to have some oil in the intakes. Its also quite normal to have oil pooling in the plenum. Have you done the PCVs? Only about £50 for the valves and hoses and not too bad a job to do ;)

What's the trick to getting at the driver's side PCV. Have done the passenger side in the past but couldn't find a tool to get at the driver's side one.

Ring spanner? They are a bit of a pain to get to but it can be done. Just remove anything thats in the way - its easy to think you'll save some time by leaving this and that on but in the end its always quicker to just get the crap outta the way... ;)

yeh I think that way to go duff,

 

Would wet oil get in tubby hoses tho if PCV's blocked?

 

Gonna order some from feeney this w/end if hes got em in.

 

Guess worth a try and if it cures it i'll be happy ad fookin larry, if not, well I guess thats one thing I wont have to worry about replacing in future.

 

Cheers.

p.s oh yeh, do you think its a bad idea to still be driving my car around? i'm keeping an eye on all the fluid levels and not boosting hardly at all when driving at mo.
