some guy wants to swap me for this plus cash my way

it now rolls on work vxmx mmmmmmmmmmm

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...p;#entry5824703

opinions?

also a 180 that i dont have any detaila on yet

That S13 is good man,

You will have to spend a fair bit of coin on getting it to slide really well however given its a straight swap for the R31 I'd say thats pretty decent deal for yourself man.

i feel like im ripping myself off... i dunno

you are, I'd stick with the 31. You've come this far with it why not stick with it. It's enough to learn in, get as good as you can in the car then maybe look at upgrading

found out a cpl days ago my rear turbo was wak.

spittin oil into the pressured intake side

that explains the detonation

praise yoda that i have replacement turbos to go

the horse will be with u

-D

Isn't that normal because the oil breather plumbs into the intake pipe before the rear turbo? I may be wrong.

cost and worth are 2 different things

i wont tell you what the R33 has cost me and what im told it's worth but its sad panda indeed

what ever its cost you then times that by 2 or 3 and thats how much i have prob spent

im too scared to add up all my receipts

im over it!

random question

Does anyone work at a place, or know where I could get a 6 way TV splitter tomorrow? like a Hills, or a Clipsal one?

Just spent $73 on a HD set top box to find out my TV in my gaming room isn't connected to the 4 way splitter in the roof... grrrr

/rant.

Guys, I see in some signatures a Dyno Day coming up for SAU - can non members get any more details?

AWD dyno?

Location?

Non-members welcome?

Cheers

Lee

Hey Lee, at this stage it is open to members only, but if there are some spots left in just over a week or so time, then it will open up to non members. Ill just say that its AWD and non members will have to pay $45

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
