did you check out your engine mounts?

thats a fair chunk of twist to just pop the input shaft, maybe even the bearing went in the box and put too much heat through the shaft.... hehe shaft

Wouldnt the engine and box (lol box) move as one?

so have been doing some investigation into my catch can setup following eastern creek happy fun times

on long left hander’s i noticed that oil pressure would drop to 30psi under high load

i can confirm this with the Haltech data logger, plus warning lights and i was going so slow i have time to check guages mid corner at 180km/h

This has only cropped up since going to the hancock rubber ( never had a issue on the r888 which are slower)

so i checked my oil levels as i do and she was at the hump in the dipstick so 10 litres of oil in the slightly larger stock sump

so slapped another 2L in which brought the oil level up to crank level and about 1 inch above the kink in the dipstick (about 3 inches higher than the full line)

next session this resulted in perfect oil pressure on left handers however the downside was the catch can pumping about 1 litre of oil out the drain and under the car

i already had a cunning plan to fix this and was expected considering the thrashing teh car cops/ engine wear

i will be going to version 3 catch can which involves putting it the one way valve to the catch can and activating the external pump that i had installed (have not been using it till required)

i am hoping this will give me a extra year or two of thrashing ( or about 10 gearboxes time) before i have to start backing off the revs to control blowby

will also extend the -20 drain hose to back behind the rear cradle to that the poor bastard behind me cops it and not the under part of my car

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
