Burning oil at idle, but not driving. Questions need answers!

**GunfighterAlpha** · 05-07-2011, 05:49 PM

Hey guys. I have a 92 R32 with 113xxxkm on it. I'm having issues with it burning oil at idle. When the car is moving you cant notice anything but sometimes at a long stoplight or when I leave it idle to warm up I get smoke out the tailpipe. After you drive away, it goes away.

I'm thinking exhaust side gasket or a valve issue. I doubt its the turbo seals because the smoke goes away after you start moving. I need to know what it is and buy parts ASAP to get my girl in working order again.

If you do indeed know what it is and know where I can find parts, let me know. I'm located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Thanks in advance.

I'd start with a dry and then wet compression test.

You can get parts from your local nissan dealership, with the correct part#

I'll try that in the next few days. Praying its not a piston problem.

I had that with an engine that had old hardened valve seals , oil seeps down the guides while idling and creates a blue haze and a puff of blue when you pull away. Replaced the valve seals and it went away.

Do you know where I can find valve seals? I've done a bit of looking and I cant seem to find any.

What engine do you have, A JDM VIN would help too. I can look it up on Nissan Fast(parts software) then you can get it from your local dealer.

My RB20Det
valve seal 13207-84a00 or 13207-d4201

hey don't order them

I happen to have a full set of RB26DETT Valve seals that are still in packaging from a nissan gasket kit i ordered. I didn't open the head so therefore didn't need them.

anyone know what they cost at the dealer? I'll make you a deal and ship them out to you monday, you should have them by friday... send me a PM and ill get you some pics if you like.

cheers,
