Hi there guys, i need some help!! I have a r32gtr and it has aftermarket turbos injectors computer etc and i was giving it heaps in 2 wheel drive lke reving its tits off and i pulled up in the garage and popped the hood and there was oil everywhere, I freaked out and did not know what to do. I looked at the dip stick and it was sticking out a little and the oil was all around that area and the engine bay. What does this mean????

1 Maybe too much oil in the car

2 No catch can fitted

3 What happens when you rev the shit out of these engines

I dont know can anyone help me please???

sound like a over pressurized sump to me. 2 things would have happened, blown rings or ring landings, high reving pressurized sump but little to no damage (very lucky). chuck some more oil in her and if it is still blowing a engine rebuild is needed. could also do a compression test first.

Have went out and given it heaps again and it seems to be fine now, i had it serviced and i think there was too much oil put in it, can it react in this way because the car still has a little over full even after loosing quite a bit of oil, maybe 500ml of it??

yeah it can.. .i've never experienced the dipstick moving, but my oil was overflowing into the catchcan... over 1ltr, so it was spilling out of the catchcan... after a leak down test, it turns out one of the cylinders was less than perfect....

so i'd get it check if i was you... for me it was ONLY happening under hard right hand turns (at a track) so we wouldn't have picked up on it, if not for that!

edit: should add, i had the normal amount of oil in, so maybe it is just excessive oil for you... to be honest, its not something i'd risk... get it checked out!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
