its just blowby from the breather lines. its normal, with a plumb back bov its just vented back into the intake. you can run an oil catch can to minimise it. your not the first person to freak out over some thing like this. do a search on "blow by" or "oil in the intake" you should get a fair bit on info show up.

its possible it is 'blowby' and No, its not a good sign. By having that much blowby enough for oil to come out of your bov, is a fair bit of blowby, your rings or valve stem seals might not be in good shape. I would recommend, getting a full leakdown test or just a compression test done asap to see where you stand.

I hope I have given good advice :wub:, good luck m8. Hopefully its not too bad :no:

turns out the rings in the engine are f**ked and the engine is 'breathing' at idle, ie, when u open the oil filler at idle you can see steam pumping out. i am of the understanding that i will need an engine rebuild in the near future, and am wondering where, how much and how i can obtain a rebuild kit for a rb25et????? any help would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
