1. Modify your new inlet to be able to take the ventilation hose (and this has to be done BEFORE the afm)

no, you want it after the afm (which is where it is stock) so your afm doesn't get covered in oil.

whatever you do don't block the ventilation pipe. if you do you will just blow your pcv out the moment you boost it. the pcv only works under vaccum. just put a breather on it for now ,then either get a catch can or plum it back into the intake pipe.

thats what i meant, in betweem the turbo and the afm, i was just picturing it my head and if i saw the pod, afm, hose then turbo in a straight line i would say before the afm but thats just me lol.

But like i said i meant in between the inlet of the turbo and afm...

i've picked up an oil breather for now, i planned on getting a catch can in the near future, so is it wise to get a catch can with an oil breather on it or is it pretty imperative that the air come from the intake pipe and i get an inlet welded in?

next time, buy a 1m vacum hose of the right diameter and run it from the top of the cam cover where the other end connects to, and have the other dangle under the car somewhere or on a cable tie. all that comes out is oily air, not really oil flow type oil.

you will notice no performance difference, just an odour all the time until you fix properly. make sure not to have it in front of a tyre or on the exhaust and your set.

*TEMPORARY* you wont hurt the motor but will not be helping the environment.

you will not have to change oil more frequently, as the tiny bit of oil in this pipe was about to be burnt up with your petrol anyway. racecars dont want motor oil in their petrol because it produces inconsistent octane leading to detonation. if there is a lot of oil coming out, you have much bigger problems than a missing inlet pipe.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
