    Help please!!!!!!!

    I was driving my r32 gtr skyline and lost power when i shifted to second and the car was sputtering, smoke was coming out of the exhaust, i can't tell what colour smoke because it's dark out and my rpms dropped to around 400-600,also there was a light knocking noise from the engine but no fluid leaks, luckily this happened around my parents house so i pushed the car there , the car still is driveable just very weak, all the other gauges looked normal.If anyone knows what this could be please let me know and can i drive the car a short distance thankyou

    this is exactly what happened to me when my turbo blew..it made like a grindy noise when the RPM was brought up .. i could still drive it obviously but it was soooooooo slow and powerless .. and there was a noise coming from my engine bay(the turbo) it felt like i was driving a civic.

    Check your intake piping. Sounds like a leak

    You could try resetting your ECU (disconnect battery, press brake pedal to bleed leftover power in the lines, reconnect battery)

    I believe my 1990 R32 GTR does not have it. Can't really see anything due to the angle but I stuck my cell phone in there and snapped some pics at different angles and did not see one in there.

    No it doesn't have a metal flap in the gas filling tube. The pressurization is done with the gas cap.
