Ok so a big question about my car I have always wanted to know but the old owner (good friend) never new ether as it was like it when he got it.. The pcv valves I believe that's what they are called the 2 on top of the motor are joined together with a hose and run to a catch can just like normal I thought :) but of one of the pcv valves (the one closest to the Intake plenum has another hose coming off of it that has been blocked and another hose that come from the plenum that has been blocked I have looked at heaps of picture of other rb20det motors and they all seem to have the hose conected so my question is WHY!! Why would some one block this hose off any help please :D

Is your catch can venting to atmosphere? If so, then your setup sounds correct. If the catch can is venting to atmosphere, the PCV valve NEEDS to be blocked, otherwise the catch can is a massive air leak at idle. If the catch can is not venting to atmo, then there is no need to block the PCV unless it is stuffed.

Here you go:

And in case you're still unsure:

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
