Hey Russ havn't caught up with you in ages mate how you been going up there in the far north ?. looks like it could be a pretty hairy drive up there mate considering how close some of the scenery (trees) are to the road looked like some nice driving there to mate Sarah must have obviously been pretty onto it with the pace notes hey. Time to swap seats next time hey !.

hi mate, yeah Darwin's good mate, beautiful weather here at the moment so loving that.

yeah sarah was great, she really got the notes out perfect ( didnt get sick either!)

we borrowed notes that ben and tim had written and they were heaps better than our old notes, an made a real difference.

Youll love the weather, for another 2 months. Check out NAMSC, they hold motorkhanas and the Rejex Rally. Goood times! Laurie Feehan is the guy to speak to. I have his number if you want it.

Yeah, great track, had some fun around there in all sorts of toys.

Ill go back for Rejex next year, gonna grab a shitter WRX and have some fun. Took the work hack in it last year, Lib GTB with some mods, came 4th overall, skipped a section for drinking instead. Would have come 3rd otherwise, got rookie award though. Had a fkn sore head the next day, actually had a sore head most of the weekend, fell into the wrong crowd.

    • 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
