Thankyou for your valued input, it is so nice to get some positive feedback from someone intelligent like yourself.

The car in question has been fully built by myself and has made to date 727.5hp and counting on pump fuel and took out this years Summernats 6cyl turbo class and also Horsepower heroes 2nd runner up over all categories.

I am not a cheque book racer and enjoy doing it myself.

Some people like it some don't, but at least i can say that i did it myself and didn't just buy someone elses car and call it my own.

If you would like any advice on where to go to get stuff done please don't hessitate to ask

Congrats on your efforts.

However, a mate went to get a closer look at your car after the 727hp run and he was given the "Are you right?" pompous and arrogant attitude by a guy (we're assuming it was you). Whoever it was - lighten up.

some bastard let 3 of my mate tyres down while we where at bradon watching..its a bloody old lazor for f.uck sake

u reckon they would have let down all 4 if they done 3 what made them shop at that last wheel , scum

It definitely wasn't me. The only guy i asked whether he was right was a guy who said he wanted to buy the car and then proceeded to stuff me around while i,m lined up in the super cruise and started ripping at my seats and fuel cell to see if they were bolted down. I politely told him it was not the time or place to be yanking at stuff as i was in the final in the morning and didn't want anything broken, and if he was serious he could organise to do that sort of stuff after the finals. I am sorry he got that attitude but i get a lot of so called friends that hang around it and pretend that its theirs.

If your friend wants to find out anything about it he can just pm me and i will tell him all he needs to know and send pics.

I meet widebody32 last night and he was more than happy to show us his car and answer any question we threw at him, your friend must have been the problem if he had something wrong with him.

:(

I've met Julian, owner of Widebody in my suburb a year back.

I saw his 32 and stopped my shitter ford accross the road to get a better look. I was invited into the garage and offerd a full once over. Not bad for a random who pulls up out the front. Spent 30 mins talking 32's and mods.

I'm not the best example :no: but plse tempre what's said about peeps and their Skylines.

(unless its a 33 - then it's open slather :) )

Thanks for the response, Julian. I will pass on the message.

Are you planning on running it at WSID before you sell it? What box is in it?

Charlie.

Very tru Karl.

Hey I see that Melissa every so often at work, she drives that kitted up black prelude with the cracked front bar. Used to be a highlight going to my Friday meetings walking past her desk. Too bad she moved to another section recently. If she had more normal eyebrows she would get an extra 5 points.

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
