g day, this is the first time doin this so excuse the slowness. but i guess slowness is something in my car as well .. Iown a R32 GTSt. dropped a fairly new donk in ... 65,000 a year ago ... done a few thousand and serviced it more than regular... prob every 3000 to 4000. New filter and motul 4100... i just noticed that it started to get really lumpy on idle and i instantly thought fouled plug or dirty AFM... but just as i pulled into my work i got a sudden smell of oil cooking.... popped the hood and oil has blown out of my BOV and also has blown up the intake nearly reaching the AFM.. my first thought was that the seal in the turbo was shot or maybe the whole turbs unit needs replacing....... any one with any thought on what it could be......cheers. icon2.gif

try buying a catch can and fitting it, u might be getting excess oil coming through your blowby and its just being sucked back in through the turbo, that may explain why you have it near the afm. Is the car blowing black smoke?

NO black smoke no white smoke no smoke at all just a crook running Rb20.... i may have overfilled my fresh oil.... could this add to the problem....? the car has never given me any probs never done anythin out of ordinary with just the usual .. drive to work and back ...... I put the two breather pipes off the rocker cover into a coke can and drove it .... no oil in that .. still oil out of BOV though...

how long was the piping plumbed into the coke can? it can be a gradual thing the oil moves the system
I think DB334 hit it on the head... just waiting for greg at autosport to get back to me bout it .... He has her at the moment .. hopfully it is just the turbs blown out cause of the oil level.. Fingers crossed.... Cheers guys for your input .. starting to understand the way these things work.. Have a good one.....icon1.gif
PCV Valve ...??? sorry mate what is it .. first turbs i have owned sorta new terminolligy to me .....

Most cars have them just ensures the blow by is vented from the crank case (positive crankcase vent valve). Could just be that you overfilled the sump besides that I agree with excessive blow by, maybe get a compression test done.

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
