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..

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
