put a R33 RB26 in my dad's GTR a while ago. I haven’t driven it much but just finishing up a tune up and suspension bits that were warn out and noticed the dip stick is being forced out. I can hear it when I turn the car off, the air bleeds out. Now I got a compression test on the engine when it was still in Japan and it was awesome so I figured it was broken rings/ring lands so I did a leak down test and everything came out perfect. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Make sure your crank case venting is clean / clear ( vents are on cam covers ). If you have a catch can, be sure that the lines and fittings are not restrictive so as to cause excessive crank case pressure.

Might not be the answer but it's one thing to look at.

It could just be a worn out o-ring on the oil dipstick. I had this happen occasionally, bought a new dipstick from Nissan and no probs.

Forced induction cars will have more positive crankcase pressure and it will try and find the easiest way out, like out the dipstick if it has a weak seal

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
