Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

Lol i am sure you will need 5th at some track days :P

Does your diff push oil out after a hard thrashing? I was told to relocate the breather higher and upways!

Hasn't that I have noticed so far haha. Post pics when you do it so I can see to do if I have to :P

Common issue with Subaru's, I have made a few diff adapters to stick a hose on them, to relocate the breather higher. Works well.

Ah nice! Thanks for letting me know :yes: Ill have to have a look and work out what to do...

The rear of my car was covered in diff oil after my 3 sessions at SMSP GP. Nothing too bad, bit on the subframe, and spots on the back.

I just figure its self leveling :P

Just keep telling yourself that. It will last longer with less oil to get in the way and wear the gears... :P

:laugh: I like it...

Sounds like breather mods for all :woot: plus i gotta change the oil in it so gives me an excuse to get under and get it sorted!

I've already dropped the subframe once... not too keen on bothering doing it again.

50mls looks like a lot when its spread on the outside - I'm not too concerned :P

Probably only noticed it since I de-greased and pressure washed the subframe since I had it out.

Ill be attempting to do it in the car, i dont wanna pull it all apart :P

Remember they dont have much oil to start with :no:

eh, doesn't your breather connect to a hose?

I don't get fluid leaking out of mine, unless it's all evaporated lately (skips like a locked diff now lol)

Yeah hence why my chassis leaks diff fluid lol...

It only does it on track....

^LOL

so when we going to terrorise sydney with gate warz? LOL

Haha... I dont use it on the streets too much, mainly quiet country drives :ph34r:

Remember mine is a r180 not a r200

The breather is just a little pressure release button tucked in behind the back of the subframe. Not an easy thing do sort in the car tbh.

Oh :/

Well ill have a look at mine and attempt to repair :yes:

    • That's a good point. The rears of the covers themselves have no baffling at all though. Higher up more chance of air for venting the crank case. Lower on the side more likely to be submerged. I might be able to fit them on the sides but with both the sump drain fittings being on the drivers side the passenger one will need to make a U Turn and be nearer the turbo. But it will look neat being not up on top.
    • It won't likely matter where along the cam covers you put the big fittings. I would suggest putting them on the sides if you can, simply because it will reduce the flow up through the baffles and thus reduce the amount of oil that gets put into the foam. It might not matter, but it seems like something to consider as a worthwhile thing to avoid.
    • Well, I have my IM240 results with a cammed LS1... My Nox was 0.11 and my CO g/km was 0.2. Euro4 is 0.08 and 0.1 respectively. I'm gonna say for a stock RB this is actually plausible, BUT in Australia they were complied pre-Euro2, so the limits were: Which as you can see, is way higher. I'd say a stock RB with a new OEM Cat could? actually pass Euro4 for NOX but you'd probably have to do a hell of a lot of testing to prove it, and getting a car emissions tested and carrying a certificate of emissions when/if you get pulled over may be cost prohibitive if it's even allowable to get your car tested and re-classified. You'd have to find out what the UK Govt is using as reference material. It may be non-negotiable.
    • I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?
