Hey just wanted to let everyone know it was the hoses to the catch can and a stopped up filter. My catch can is in a bad location when it rains the filter gets soaked with water and the crank case isn't able to breath. It started smoking again after driving in the rain for 3 hours and i pulled the filter off that was stopped up and put a new one on and it stopped smoking. So i will be moving my catch can and changing how some of the lines are ran to fix the problem permanently.

It was on the car when i got it, but from my understanding its to keep oil out of the intake by separating the oil from air that is coming from your crank case. From reading online there are several ways to hook one up. If they are done right i don't think that they will cause problems. I will be reconnecting my pcv valve and running a pipe from where the filter goes to before the turbo and after the MAF. That is the easiest way for me to fix mine. I will also be putting steel wool inside the catch can to help separate the oil out.

Just an update it was the filter on the catch can stopping up. Ran the hoses back to the intake like stock setup was and everything is doing fine. Ive put almost 4k miles on it since and not losing any oil or coolant. I have since installed a nistune board and new coil packs. I also found out that the acc, o2 and vct were not getting a 12v power. Last owner pulled the fuse for it and i also found he broke a bolt that held the acc valve on the intake. Had to pull the intake off to fix that. It was a lot easier to pull off that it was to get on. It also has a new starter from a 65 datsun 411. Getting ready to buy new injectors, dump pipe, down pipe, maf, bov, and turbo. Still trying to decide what turbo to go with so the dump pipe is on a waiting list till i decide what turbo.

Not really sure what I'm going with. Having a hard time desiding I want good response. Would like to hit full boost in the 3k range and make about 400whp or 300rwkw I could do a high flow turbo and that would get me close to my mark but I would be pushing it with some where in the 20psi range but I really would like to stay below 18psi.

Thats right in the 3076 range then. Talk to Stao, his turbo's are reportedly doing that.

      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.
