hi guys..

when i had the intake pipe removed and saw the dirt on the TB, i've decided that i wanted to clean it.. after removing the TB from the inlet manifold, i've also noticed oil/dirt inside the inlet manifold.. is this normal? is there a way of cleaning it?

can anyone explain this to me?.. im just a lil' worried..

i had rough idling before due to faulty coils but i've fixed that and replaced the spark plugs as well.. apart from that, the car is running fine..

tnx guys..

tnx guys for your inputs..

i was lookin thru n/a section last nite and there was a similar issue with a guy who's got a 34.. if that was pretty normal then im at ease to know/for now..

as for your question Eug, i didnt replaced my intake pipe but i did attached a pod filter a couple of months after i got my car..

the hose running out of the top of the engine is feeding the intake oil and fumes. If you have a look at the stock air intake you would have seen a big empty box after your filter box, that was to catch the oil dripping out of the engine. If you replaced it with a straight through pipe you have now allowed it to be sucked straight into the manifold etc. Only way around it is to get an oil catch can.

i see.. i understand it now :) .. but wouldnt it be weird if i put an oil catch can in my n/a engine? i thought that oil catch cans are most useful for turbo/high performance cars?

is there a lot of sau members out there with an oil catch can in their n/a engine?

Some racetracks/events don't allow cars to compete if they don' have one because they don't want oil on the track. Hence why only turbo/high performance cars have them coz they are the ones that usually drive on the racetracks lol..

And i'm pretty sure oil and oil fumes would lower the octane rating of the fuel or something, and also restricting airflow through the manifold and hot air (oil fumes) would surely suck the engine of Horse power :)

Just to correct you there. The empty box you are refering to is a resonator which muffles intake noise as well as adds power to an n/a setup (I know it may seem wierd) - but it has nothing to do with catching oil.

Some n/a guys on this forum have used oil catch cans - but the advantages are quite small for a stock n/a. I was contemplating this idea but its not worth the cost unless you are really driving hard (on the track of course) or if you have a turbo setup.

no it doesn't i already answered the question before, it comes out of the one way valve sitting on the top of the engine, there's a black hose coming out of that valve that joins into your air intake pipe, the oil comes out of the valve and into the pipe, due to air flow it is sucked through the intake and into the combustion chamber where it is burnt and turned into exhaust gas.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
