What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

Not really. They go back in their because it was the easiest way from factory.

It's a proven advantage to vent them somewhere else. My RX7 has the breather go into a bottle... The optimal setup is a 2L+ bottle, with steel wool baffles and a drain back to your sump.

Oil vapour = lower octane of your fuel and grime up intake. Which we all know is an issue on VQ motors. When I ripped off my intake it looked like someone had poured a bottle of oil through the intake. (Given it probably had never been pulled off its whole life of 200,000km)

Yeh, i'll probably do that, or just get a silicone joiner the same as the black pipe, just a little more dollars.

Just to agree...

They go back in there because it is part of the 'environmental protection' of using all vapours through the engine etc.! Even fuel vapours that come out of the charcoal canister get re-used into the engine.

Optimal setup depends on your sump size, what boost you are running (which to some extent has an effect on blow by) and how efficient the scavenging of the 'catch can' is. Draining back to the sump is good, but you don't want to pressurise your sump, so use suitable PCV valves, and vent the 'cleaned' air back into the factory position. Then less oil gets into the intake and you don't increase your chance of detonation.

The S14/S15 SR20DET has a great factory 'catch can' built into the rocker cover. The design means most of the oil gets returned to the sump, and it still vents back into a 'factory position' after the AFM and before the turbo. Works excellent.

Yeeep. I'll probably just end up getting a nipple put onto this intake, as i'm not after performance on this motor.

Oh and this afternoon got bored, so pulled some peices out of the interior and washed it all. Pulled seats out and vacuumed, cleaned up amp wiring and put it under the boot floor.

So gross what appears over time, the cup holder in the middle was a mix of tobacco and sticky spilt Rockstar/Monster, including under the slip-in peice.

Fitted the throttle body... redet the ECU.

Car wanted to stall a few times on the first drive, but after restarting the car it seems good. Drove around this morning for a bit and no 4wd light yet... which is a good sign so far. Fingers crossed.

Hows your idle? Steady at 650 rpm?

Big day today.

Headed out to AM Performance, who are planning to start producing M35 exhaust systems. Donated my car as the development car, should be getting underway in the next couple of weeks.

Then headed around to my dad's workshop and put the car on the hoist for a service. Was very interesting, gearbox and engine took no where near as much oil was I was expecting even though they were drained.

Have found a couple of things that need fixing through. Rear disks need machining and rear pads need replacing, and need a catch can. Couldn't find any reason for the weird noise that I get occasionally when I lift off, so sounds like new blow off valve too...

And after all that, I forgot to put on the intake spacer I got from Craig! :domokun:

Edit: And no bloody LSD!

    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
    • Hello, I am looking to replace my two rear drive shafts in my R34 N/A Skyline but I'm finding conflicting information. Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
