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!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
