I attended a track day a Mallala on Saturday, had an absolute ball. I did however have some issue's.


-My Oil/Air separator would fill in one 15min session(400ml).


-My Atmo BOV's were spitting out so much oil the side of the car was coated.


-After a heavy G-force loaded corner(not the straight) a large puff of smoke would come out the exhaust on gear change


-My dip stick blew out twice


-All of which required the replacement of 4ltrs of oil.\

The car was running 30psi of boost for 40% of the day. I would like to ascertain if my oil control issue's are attributed to blow-by(CP forged Pistons, 1mm oversize valves--with new valve guide's) or incorrect oil/air separator setup for my huge boost levels. I am running a N1 oil pump, big sump and the 1.5mm restrictor in the block has been removed(previously fitted with the std sump).

Plans before the next track day so far are.


-Plumb my catch can into the sump


-run less boost


-heat shrink my dipstick to hold firmer(however I think this is a symptom fix)

oh dear could be a few things but if your bovs are venting oil and your oil air separator is to atmosphere you have turbo issues. if it is recirc you have either oil surge of excessive blow by. the puff of smoke leads me to believe surge but without seeing the car in person it is a guess at best.

^^^ its a bit long winded..... we spin our 350rwkw 26 to 8000 all day long at track days with only sump baffle and head oil restrictors.... most issues are build related like piston to bore clearance and bearing clearance etc....

The Oil/Air catch can is plumbed back in the intake.

Any tests could do to narrow it down?

this pretty much rules out the turbos, do you overfill? do you have a sump baffle?

Well the head restritor is one thing I don't have with my N1 pump, I guess the fix for that without pulling the head is an external drain from head to sump.

just as easy to fit restrictor.... to do the drain properly requires either engine out or head off anyway.

put a filter on the top of your catch can equal to the size of the hoses going to it

i.e 2 2.5cm hoses then 5cm fitting filter

mate did this on his ceffy that use to filer his catch can every three laps of Mallala

and now has no blow by

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
