LOL I saw this thread and instantly thought "I don't remember putting a thread about it in here..." my post won't be all that much help to you since I've got R33 GTS-T, but exact same crap happened to me. Depending on where it's snapped, I'd recommend doing what I'll be doing this weekend and removing the bracket to have it welded up and reinforced where the break is.

lol no no no, just being a twat.

50,000rpm and the rest...

Melly might be keen

I got 500rwkw from stock r33 injectors and a 45000km old fuel filter on over 9000psi fuel pressure. What of it?

Should make the most of it imo: 1: remove air filter 2: stick on dyno and load to 8000rpm 3: stick garden hose into airbox 4: ??????? 5: PROFIT -1

So you reckon get a support belt or whatever they are (for heavy lifts) and then just hang a rope from that with the plates on it? hmm, double use I suppose. I meant the exact type of thing someone linked in response to me - the belt with chain that you hang plates from anyway. It only has a single use though, doesn't provide support if I wanted to use it with deadlifts or something Either way, I'm gonna rock on over to planet max today and see what I'll get

hopefully none of the comp wheel breaks away and goes through the engine...

uhhh....lol could someone order this guy some traction?

Ehh if you reckon that's reasonable then fair enough, tomorrow ill grab one

Anybody recommend somewhere online to get a dips belt (to hang weights from)? Planet Max here in Canberra is only place I've checked, and the only one they stock is $59 (probs ok, but steep until I know what's average)

Spotted Prue and Zeb in the soarer on scollay a few minutes ago

Finding time to eat more is actually harder than training 5 days a week....f**king annoying

Absolutely obliterated dips tonight, very happy (enough to share with you eager gentlemen....lol) bodyweight x20/10 +15kg x10 +20kg x8/6/5 All the way down, slight pause, and back up. I'm dead.

Sorry forgot to mention, I doubt bale is into goats.

You had a point until there. Although, Bale is an agro f**kwit

I wanna set up a Direct-Dump-Pipe-Oil-Injection system....would be tops for traffic light drags!

certain parts are (like the pump, as OP just updated with lol) Otherwise from what I've gathered, some people CAN'T break them while others do without trying....piece of string etc

I suppose I'll even notice the oil pressure go up on the stock gauge should this occur cheers

I don't have that breather if the question was for me. Though yes, I can understand that it will have to BLOW the gasses through my proposed system rather than them being sucked out when the plenum is under vacuum. Not ideal, though will still work. My ultimate reason for wanting to remove the system is that the fitting on the rocker cover is actually a suspect as well - the whole thing has a bit of play in it. Meh, whatever. Cheers for the input though guys, at least I know I can give blocking it off a shot anyway without worrying about my crank case becoming a pressure bomb.

Now I'm confused....I think I've either used the wrong name for something, or misunderstand something. From what I understand, there's a hose going from the inlet rocker cover to the front of the plenum, with a one-way valve in it that allows flow from the rocker cover side through to the plenum side but not the other way. Blocking/removing this valve and hose will cause pressure to build up inside the oil system, correct? I mean completely doing away with it. Not just removing the valve but leaving the hose. Blocking off flow in EITHER direction. Here is a picture of my engine bay (please ignore the black squares, just hiding previous edits as they're irrelevant) In RED is what I'm talking about. I am suggesting that the flow in either direction of that hose be cut off. In GREEN is the hose going from my exhaust rocker cover through to the bottom of my catch can In BLUE is the hose going from the top of my catch can back to my intake piping, BEFORE the inlet of the turbo As you can see, my inlet and exhaust rocker covers are connected by hose as well, allowing gas to equalise between them both. I know this may not be a PROPER catch can setup, but I didn't set it up and it works. How will I be pressurising the crank case if I remove the ability for gasses to flow between the two points on the red line??

Yeah, that's my thoughts exactly. Currently there's only a small amount of residue in the first 15cm of hose after the rocker cover, and absolutely nothing drains from the can. I don't believe the can can be opened, so hopefully it doesn't require any baffling. I don't anticipate it actually getting anything in it, though after a short trial we'll see what happens and if needed cut it open to put baffling of some kind in. I was just trying to work out how the system could possible pressurise itself if my setup has no restrictions between the rocker and the intake pipe, allowing free-flowing of gasses. Perhaps Bubba was just misinterpreting what I was saying, or the other way around

Quad post, you're an absolute BEAST Dave

EDIT: reading what you've said for the third or fourth time, I'm starting to think that's exactly what I'm describing (though I'm unsure if my can is baffled - don't know what was put inside it when it was made by fabricator). In any case, my can is in-line with the breathers and intake piping, and has never collected a drop of oil anyway. I still can't fathom how my setup won't work. the hose from my exhaust rocker goes to the bottom of my catch can. Then from the top of my catch can is another hose that leads to the intake pipe BEFORE the turbo. There are no 1-way valves between my exhaust rocker outlet and the intake hose. Nothing to stop any pressure from the rocker cover from escaping all the way through to the intake (and ultimately running back through the engine and out the exhaust). To further confirm this, when I had my turbo off last I blew into the intake hose of the system with my mouth, and in turn received a splatter of oil in my face from the turbo oil drain. To me, this says that any pressure inside my rocker covers will be able to equalise via my catch can intake return hose.

oh how I look forward to that plateau Though yeah can't wait to see the difference after a few months
