In that last glory pic, is there a pool of oil under it lol

Also are you tiny or is the driver f**king massive?

Yep, big milkshake under it. 

Anthony is a big bloke, driver seat is hard up against the roll hoop.

Well spent a bit of time this week going over the 180sx in preparation for hill climb tomorrow. Compression test came back 115-120 across all 4, the blow by had filled half the compressor housing and Intercooler with oil so pulled it apart gave it all a good clean.

Dropped the oil and there was no shiney bits so fresh 20-60 oil went in with a new filter. Still blew a little bit of smoke on quick test drive so see how it goes tomorrow and may give it a bit more boost. 

Hopefully holds together for a few runs.

Cold and dry? 

warm. 


Ended up 5th outright with a 1.01:89 at the hill climb but only did 3 runs as blow by got worse. Thats a new pb too so will be alot quicker with a healthy motor
It was blowing oil up the boost solenoid ref line and out the port.
Tried venting catch can to atmosphere which helped a little bit but still pushing oil to catch can. On the last run turned it up to 22psi but blew off intercooler pipe on gear shift after launch so called it a day.
Pulling engine this week as couldn't find another one locally.

The only way a vent will help is if you vent the sump and the head separately like I did on mine. 

You need to equalise the pressure top and bottom. 

 

Will be doing whole new catch can/breather setup when I get this motor freshened up. Atp 2l can and all dash 10 lines.

Priced up everything for forged bottom end through golebeys so once engine is out and everything measured up will place the order.

Even with a fresh motor, Nissans need bulk breathing capability. 

Vent it top and bottom and happy days.

 

2x - 10 off the top, 1x - 10off the sump and the factory block fitting should be hopefully help. Never had issues with the s14 but the rocker cover is a better design.

Progress back moving under its own power.

Been spending a little bit of time sorting out the power steering setup since I didn't end up going electric. Went with an aeroflow tank as I stuffed up the original one trying to weld on dash fittings. 

Cut off the old bracket and made a template, copy to aluminium, cut/drilled and folded.

Finished making lines and filled with fluid only to find I had hoses the wrong way on the rack. Switched them around, Bled it up and everything thing was all good. 

Also fixed cooling set up by moving one of the fans, got a new nismo thermostat just incase as the old one was around 11 years old. New coolant with demineralised water and now temps around 80c at idle.

Still sorting idle with ethrottle as when I stab the throttle it doesn't return to idle smoothly or stalls so will keep adjusting the proportion and stall gain to make it right. List of things needed to get back on the road is getting smaller.

That won’t be helped by adjusting the throttle pid settings, it will be your base throttle table referenced before closed loop takes over.

Thanks for the info will have a look at that before I do anything else. 

Just spent a bit of time this morning doing a few small things like fitting indicators, rear speaks, shortening intake pipe and cooling plates.

Thanks to @Ben C34 advice went back and checked the ethrottle setup and set it up properly so idle is smooth at 800rpm and doesn't stall ?

Big ticket items left is driver side lca, cat back exhaust and Coilovers.

how much were the brand new indicators

 

Cheaper than r33 xenon lights ?

 

Were around $500 ? 

Almost looks like it came from factory with all the "standard" Nissan parts.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
