I attended a track day a Mallala on Saturday, had an absolute ball. I did however have some issue's.


-My Oil/Air separator would fill in one 15min session(400ml).


-My Atmo BOV's were spitting out so much oil the side of the car was coated.


-After a heavy G-force loaded corner(not the straight) a large puff of smoke would come out the exhaust on gear change


-My dip stick blew out twice


-All of which required the replacement of 4ltrs of oil.\

The car was running 30psi of boost for 40% of the day. I would like to ascertain if my oil control issue's are attributed to blow-by(CP forged Pistons, 1mm oversize valves--with new valve guide's) or incorrect oil/air separator setup for my huge boost levels. I am running a N1 oil pump, big sump and the 1.5mm restrictor in the block has been removed(previously fitted with the std sump).

Plans before the next track day so far are.


-Plumb my catch can into the sump


-run less boost


-heat shrink my dipstick to hold firmer(however I think this is a symptom fix)

oh dear could be a few things but if your bovs are venting oil and your oil air separator is to atmosphere you have turbo issues. if it is recirc you have either oil surge of excessive blow by. the puff of smoke leads me to believe surge but without seeing the car in person it is a guess at best.

^^^ its a bit long winded..... we spin our 350rwkw 26 to 8000 all day long at track days with only sump baffle and head oil restrictors.... most issues are build related like piston to bore clearance and bearing clearance etc....

Well the head restritor is one thing I don't have with my N1 pump, I guess the fix for that without pulling the head is an external drain from head to sump.

just as easy to fit restrictor.... to do the drain properly requires either engine out or head off anyway.

put a filter on the top of your catch can equal to the size of the hoses going to it

i.e 2 2.5cm hoses then 5cm fitting filter

mate did this on his ceffy that use to filer his catch can every three laps of Mallala

and now has no blow by

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
