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

Wow, I nearly fell over I think page 21, I had to go for a walk!, Its good to see you had some good people around you with bit of form in your time of need.

This is a must read, Best of luck and I hope you enjoy.

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.

Yer, it sorted out well in the end, Ive had one of those 1st phone calls and they are stressful times, its good to see you both stood by each other and didnt lose to much time, keep up the good work.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
