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.

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 guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
