Lol

Thats funny. I punched the matching hole in the back of the head. In the first photo you will see it. Like i said its all was experimental

But seems to work. I will remake them all out of aluminum soon as i dont have a good tig welder. And its not a ac/dc high frequency unit. So i was stuck with making it out of steel

Im suprised at how well it works. Trust me mate. The finish product looked way better and turst me when i say there no rust on the end unit.

I'm not convinced that your steel box is the answer. There is a theory that much of the spewing out oil problem is to do with correct fitting of rings (not so much with RB30s where the crank action is suspected of much of the problem) and maybe that is how you have succeeded.

However if you have no problems well done.

BTW most engine installations I have seen don't have much room for a steel box (rusty or not) in that position!

Yes i agree. Its fits perfectly. I do agree with the rings part. But as the motor ages we will see. But comparing to other setups at high boost levels i would see signs of oil. I wouldnt install rusty box to flow oil through as that would defeat the whole point. I feel from all of my test that the spool head drain doesn't work to well it just gets pluged and all it is, is a nicely shaped peace of aluminum with literally a hole drilled in it. I feel the oil pools and builds up faster than it can drain and blocks the factory ports. It gets more complex in cornering g's.

I have been messing with all sorts of ideas over the past year or so. Buy pooling the oil lets say in this rusty old box here. The weight of the actual oil helps to drain it back way way more efficiently. Rather than having the same idea happen in the head and overwhelming the factory hole by the last to rearward head bolts. This thing works like a water fall and frees up losts of breathing. One big down side we had was gear box swaps the engine couldnt tilt any so we had to drop the subframe till we got the box to fit then lifted it all in place. It was a pain but using a car lift the second time worked well. The benefits really out way the extra work. I do agree also with the additional stuff mensioned here as well. Properly picking the right size restrictor vs oil pump and rpms. Crank collar or newer crank. Exstended sump with good trap doors baffle. As well as good venting high above oil level. I found the rb25 to be a tougher at doing this. Without starving lifters of oil. So we approached it abit different.

Talking about blowby and catch can set ups....I was wondering how the Integrated Motorsports R34 GTR and Steve Ka/Powertune R34 GTR got rid of the bleeder hoses coming off the valve covers? Makes the engine bay look a shit load cleaner. I know the JGTC rb26dett's were very similar, so my guess is the dry sump oil system. If anyone has some info or other ideas let me know.

as my thrashed car gets older i have now added a accusump and activated the external scavenge

which has made the oil pressure awesome one left handers however its now blowing oil out the second catch can breathers

so i have now added a one way -12 valve to the front catch can to stop oil being pushed up the drain

will report back if awesome or not!

I ran my set up right up to 8800rpm at 2 bar (740rwhp) around the track with sticky R-comps the other night and not a drop out of the catch can.

This is with no oil restrictors to the head and a stock bottom end, venting the sump works

So would you say an easy improvement without tapping the sump would be venting through the dip stick?

I don't think the dipstick tube compares with two half inch vents.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
