I heard that if you take an RB25 onto the track it will tend to over feed oil into the head, does anyone know any details on this? The reason I ask is because I took my car to Mallala and after a few laps I pulled into the pits and heaps of oil has blown out my catch can breather. I'm quite sure the engine didn't detonate at any time but I'm wondering if the rings might be shot... I'll do a compression test on my next break to find out, but I'd like to hear if anyone had come across this so I can work out how long I need to spend out bush to pay for it...

Before that happened I was having an absolute blast, makes me appreciate how much goes into running a competitive race car and the stresses the car has to put up with.

Pretty common for rb's to pump heaps of oil into the catch can during track work. 26's are worse for it. If you head out to the track, add a touch more oil to the sump and keep an eye on the catch can level every few laps. Only way to resolve the problem is to add a drain from your catch can to your sump with an inline pump that is switchable or to tap a thread into the back of the head and run a return back to the sump from there (although this option requires motor out and pulled down). Hope that helps man.

Lol, pretty much is man, till the 180sx is resurrected, then it's game on once again. Look out prancing Lion, RB will be hungry for V8 pride.

Winter should be interesting to say the least. Might have to get a stagea for a daily just to keep up with Cheryl in the Legnum.

Hi fellas,

I know it's pretty quiet in here and apologies in advance for the long-ish post :whistling:

I'm Fred, I bought Lee's R33 (SLY33) off him a couple of years ago. I'm a bit embarassed that it's taken me this long to get around to doing this but I had other financial commitments I had to sort out before I could afford to start buying bits for the car. I'm all in the clear nowadays and on a much better wage (full-qualified) so I've finally been able to get some coin together.

Today my turbo got back from its holiday to see Stao at Hypergear for highflowing, and now I'm in the process of organising an EBC, bigger injectors and Z32 AFM to support. I also have a Autometer/Bosch Wideband O2 kit and a Datalogit so I can finally use Matt Fedda's old Apexi PowerFC (from "DRIFTN") that Lee gave me when I originally bought the car.

The stock ECU really needed to go as it was running rich as hell and was generally driving me nuts. At this stage I've installed the PFC and have used the datalogit to initialise and tweak the base map so it's safe on stock boost with no knock values over 20. It's already a major improvement over the stock ECU with better fuel economy, snappier in the lower rpms, no more black soot being plastered all over the rear bumper and no more flat spots.

Once I get the new highflow, injectors and Z32 installed I'll chasing a proper tune. Just wondering if there's any possibility of getting a dyno or road tune done here in Alice? I haven't asked around much yet, but does anyone know if Carmelo would be able to help me out? or would I be better off looking at road tripping it to a dyno down south or maybe try organizing something with Anthony (Guilt-Toy) and his remote tuning service?

Cheers :thumbsup:

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
