well here how it goes. Was cleaning my engine bay since i had spare time today.

check all fluids and then the check the oil. open my oil cap to see a chuck of metal missing(where you tend to pour oil in, obviously). so i assuming that that piece of metal has somehow broken off and now swimming in my engine.

don't dare to start the engine after i saw this since it might cause some massive chain reaction.

only reason i can think of that can cause this is some asss using a hammer and a screwdriver hammering in order to break it off. but pretty much i have no idea how it is broken

sorry about the shitty photo. only have a phone camera on me.

but you can pretty much see a chuck of metal missing =(.

what should i do?

phew false alarm. yeah your right craved. just happened to look very odd when i saw it. seem like nissan trying to save metal or something.

checked on of my mate skyline and it seem to be the same. thought it was something out of the ordinary and shitted myself =(

feel good to know the car not in any serious harm

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
