Turbo abnormality?
I have to say I agree mark, the bottom one doesnt follow the impellor curve properly. I am thinking though.its gonna have to spin alot faster to achieve the same effect as the other and therefore will burnout much faster.

Lambo style doors
lambo doors are like r8 led rails in the headlights. they belong on the car they came on. lambo doors look dreadfull on a z32
-
anyone find were getting rarer?
ive had my zed a mere 4 years now, but when i got mine there were 30 odd z32s for sale on every well known classifieds you chose to look on..... pistonheads currently have 6 for sale! just six. at least one of these is a member on here. 23 on ebay one of which is murts old car and one or two im sure are repeats from p/h and only 8 on autotrader again some repeats from other sites. so id say there's probably only about 30 cars currently for sale in the country.

Nissan GTP ZX Turbo
just been reading about it actually turns out it has an extensively modified vg30et from the z31. when you look back through the z32s production history one of the intial prototypes was very simular to this car. with the mid engine layout etc.

Re-installing gearbox - some advice
dont forget the spacer plate that sits behind the clutch, hopefully you never removed it. the worst bit is lining up the gearbox mount.

Blue/grey smoke only under boost.
After a fair chunk of reading, I came to some conclusion as turbo failure wise. The most common reason for failure is improper breather system. this is usually pcv related, because without being able to vent the pressure from the crankcase properly the oil passing from the turbo down the return pipes doesnt pass as freely as it should. this causes a back up in oil, it has to go somewhere this is usually past the rear oil seal. its not designed to hold back much pressure really. if the seal is worn this is even easier, now picture the fact youve taken away the pressure that was making this not the path of least resistance the cats.... so now the low pressure behind the exhaust housing is the easiest route out of the system. you can try replacing the pcvs and hope that this deals with the pressure enough to allow the poil to pass into the sump as it should, you could try replacing the cats applying the backpressure and causing the proper route to be the easiest option for your oil to take. this is often why replacing the pcvs reduces things even if it doesnt cure it. obviously if the seal is too far worn it will still leak no matter what. the other problem with many turbos is that the small gallery at the rear clog sup with crap, burnt oil etc. this doesnt allow the oil to pass from the rear bearing efficiently and forces it out the rear seal due to a back pressure of oil. in my case i found one of my pcvs was flipped, and the left hand turbo had oil deposits in the exhaust compressor housing, at idle it barley smoked as the oil pooled up and didnt pass, looking in from the rear nothing could be seen out the ordinary, once apart i realised it was pooling up there and only when the car was pushing enough gas through was it pushing it up into suspension. hence the reason it smoked like a chimeny at 2k but barley at all at idle. i hope this helps you to solve your problems just by working out a little more the whys. (personally i wasnt happy just finding the problem i wanted to know the why had it occurred)

So what do you think about what there saying ?
the olypics actually reduced trade round here. like everything london is that pita thing over there that takes money from our pockets. i cant see how they can say were out of it after such a short period just cos youve got money in your account doesnt mean youve got out the overdraft, once the bills come out.
