thats a heap of oil in the IC mate

i have heard of this happening a lot to track cars...

i guess catch can would be a good way to solve this problem...

how does oil get into the air intake system? my guess would be a leak in the turbo section...

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

yes, but a correctly fitted catch can! I have a link somewhere here in the wasteland.

Chad, heres a pic of an RB25 that represents a decent track setup, open to atmosphere.

so my catch can has two hoses, both connected to each cam cover (replacing the U shaped pipe) so ill be blocking the positive crankcase ventilation valve (so the pcv valve isnt open off boost, sucking air through the catch can) and inlet to turbo from the cam cover.

Yay ... I get to pour more foundations this weekend for my house extension :) The extension is 9.7m x 10.6m, just to give you an idea of the steel frames being erected. Finished off the first frame (there are four) Wednesday night, and its dead straight and level. So glad my surveying skills work eh :)

Tonight I move the gazebo and clothes line. Tomorrow I bore the holes and erect another frame. Hope to have all the framing done this weekend. Roof up next weekend ;)

So thats the plan for the next week, including my mountains of TAFE work, homework and work work! :O

When there's quite a bit of blow-by.

If you're going to have an atmospheric catch can set up be sure to have a suitable baffle that can absorb oil well so as to minimise the amount of oil that will layer your engine bay.

My erections are so big, I need council approval before beginning ;)

they'll never approve it, your erection is more than 2 storeys high in a zoned residential area

with an erection that big you should have bought in an industrial zoned area

I can have an erection 2 storeys high in a residential area, so long as there are no overlooking issues, and I keep my erection setback from the boundary by at least 900mm. I must also maintain over 100m2 of open space in my back yard, so my erection doesn't get in the way of play space.

However, my erection may raise (no pun intended) overshadow issues with our eastern neighbour. He might not approve of my erection. So it will have Category 2 building approval for an erection of this size :wave:

suprised you didn't make a thread about it :P

I was going to. But it doesn't fall into the category of child birth, or jokes, or villis, or birthdays, or stereo installs, or holidays, or long weekends ... All my threads get closed nowdays anyway. :wave:

does your erection need to be at least 1km away from primary schools?

My erection is of a residential nature and the land is therefore correctly zoned to be erected within any proximity of a school (there are two schools less than 200m in either direction from my property). So my building erection is permitted near schools :wave:

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
