what are you going to do about the blow by issue?

its not a blowby issue....its a high RPM oil control issue. If it was a blowby issue it would occur at max boost at any rpm. Dave has previously stated on here how good the engine is sealed and has virtually no blow-by. Funnily Dave runs a rear oil "drain" which i have said in the past does not work...this again proves my theory on this modification. Dave if you want to track it without an issue its a simple fix...give me a call to discuss if you wish.

ahhh I somehow think the new box might got the same way as the old box sooner or later....better start saving for os giken or something.

despite the crap in the morning, in the afternoon the track was pretty good...proper grip through slicks or semis feels brilliant when you've only been used to street tyres

Semis were amazing Duncan. I feel that i didnt reach the limits of them with the short time we had in the afternoon due to the rain etc.

I was on Stueys bum all the way around the track, with him only gaining on the straight. Then the box went :laugh:

  • 3 weeks later...

holy crap, i had plans for this afternoon. i sat down after lunch and starting reading this, didnt know id end up reading 41 pages of posts! i actually swore out loud around page 22 when i found out your engine had popped :)

Massive congratulations for sticking it out and getting the end result you were after. Also thanks for such a detailed thread, ive recently purchased my first skyline, with a 3076 and a few supporting mods making 240ish rwkw so this thread has answered so many of the questions i had about where to go from here. i cant pm yet so if you want to pm me your email id love to ask you some questions.

Cheers,

Sean

How do you think it was for Dave and I...bit of a stressful time during the 1st phonecall.

We got it all sorted though without too much hassle.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
