I heard that if you take an RB25 onto the track it will tend to over feed oil into the head, does anyone know any details on this? The reason I ask is because I took my car to Mallala and after a few laps I pulled into the pits and heaps of oil has blown out my catch can breather. I'm quite sure the engine didn't detonate at any time but I'm wondering if the rings might be shot... I'll do a compression test on my next break to find out, but I'd like to hear if anyone had come across this so I can work out how long I need to spend out bush to pay for it...

Before that happened I was having an absolute blast, makes me appreciate how much goes into running a competitive race car and the stresses the car has to put up with.

Pretty common for rb's to pump heaps of oil into the catch can during track work. 26's are worse for it. If you head out to the track, add a touch more oil to the sump and keep an eye on the catch can level every few laps. Only way to resolve the problem is to add a drain from your catch can to your sump with an inline pump that is switchable or to tap a thread into the back of the head and run a return back to the sump from there (although this option requires motor out and pulled down). Hope that helps man.

Lol, pretty much is man, till the 180sx is resurrected, then it's game on once again. Look out prancing Lion, RB will be hungry for V8 pride.

Winter should be interesting to say the least. Might have to get a stagea for a daily just to keep up with Cheryl in the Legnum.

Hi fellas,

I know it's pretty quiet in here and apologies in advance for the long-ish post :whistling:

I'm Fred, I bought Lee's R33 (SLY33) off him a couple of years ago. I'm a bit embarassed that it's taken me this long to get around to doing this but I had other financial commitments I had to sort out before I could afford to start buying bits for the car. I'm all in the clear nowadays and on a much better wage (full-qualified) so I've finally been able to get some coin together.

Today my turbo got back from its holiday to see Stao at Hypergear for highflowing, and now I'm in the process of organising an EBC, bigger injectors and Z32 AFM to support. I also have a Autometer/Bosch Wideband O2 kit and a Datalogit so I can finally use Matt Fedda's old Apexi PowerFC (from "DRIFTN") that Lee gave me when I originally bought the car.

The stock ECU really needed to go as it was running rich as hell and was generally driving me nuts. At this stage I've installed the PFC and have used the datalogit to initialise and tweak the base map so it's safe on stock boost with no knock values over 20. It's already a major improvement over the stock ECU with better fuel economy, snappier in the lower rpms, no more black soot being plastered all over the rear bumper and no more flat spots.

Once I get the new highflow, injectors and Z32 installed I'll chasing a proper tune. Just wondering if there's any possibility of getting a dyno or road tune done here in Alice? I haven't asked around much yet, but does anyone know if Carmelo would be able to help me out? or would I be better off looking at road tripping it to a dyno down south or maybe try organizing something with Anthony (Guilt-Toy) and his remote tuning service?

Cheers :thumbsup:

    • 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.
