finally decided to come around to the nissan side of things

bought a r33 gtr a few months back, starting to drive it now.

I've noticed oil is getting built up in 1 of the pod filters, the other 1 is clean and looks normal.

thinking perhaps and oil catch can would help..... but could be a common problem you guys would know of

any help would be great for my first post :action-smiley-069:

Breather pipe that plumbs into the rear rubber turbo intake, from the cam cover is the culprit usually.

When you put more than factory boost in, it tends to happen more. Normally there is a little build up over time...

Then the bovs recirculate the oil blowby mess through the intake and wet AFM's filters etc.

Nismo brought out a oil/air seperator can kit but it's exy, and people usually go the catch can route with breathers.

Cheers guys,

that makes a lot of sense. ill look at changing the seals and finding someone to put in an oil can for now.

would it make a difference you reckon by making a small hole in the rubber pipe leading into the intake pipe just until i have someone fix it up properly?

anyway after the post i thought there is no way i was putting a small hole anyway. so dont worry everyone it just a dumb question wasn't going to do it.

i checked it out yesterday and seals are fine...... sourcing a good catch can now :) if it's mixing with the fuel it'll make sense why it feels like im losing abit of power.

Is the oil on the inside or out side of the filter? Is your engine leaking oil?

I had a oil leak near my power steering which was getting blown by the engine fan over into one of my pods...one pod was clean and the other including the AFM was oily

Just a thought..

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
