I recently did a rb25 conversion and used the rb20 rocker covers as i didnt have any 25 covers, now from what i understand the rb25 covers have alot more baffling, im getting my catch can fill with oil rather quickly 200ml after 60kms of hard style driving... could this be a case of baffle difference between the 2 covers?

Cheers?

My guess is it's a 25 head issue.. but that being said, Raz's is a turbo head and mine (my motor is the original 30 that was in my mates car that breathed oil until the covers were changed) is a non-turbo head. Without the raised covers, with lots of revs it would breath a LOT of oil :blink:

Seems a bit odd, since my rb20s doesnst breath f**k all oil

Mine doesnt blow a drop of oil either and my god how i have upped the boost nad rev the bejezuz out of the thing at the track trying to keep up with the big boys :blink:

I have at times thought it might be as simple as the RB20 rocker covers not allowing blow by to get to the catch can as readily...but ppl are saying that its the opposite ?

Just put the RB20 back in, problem solved :(

Seriously the rb20det that was in it could fill a catch can in 400m of driving!

I tried so hard to find a rb20det at a reasonable price roy trust me.. couldnt find one in good nick anywhere in qld!

hopefully its just the baffles ill get them during the week and keep you posted, might prove bubba's theory??? :blink:

cheers

Jesus i cant believe how quickly you guys are filling catch cans up, you sure its a baffle problem in the covers and not f**ked rings or something? I have about 5 drops of oil in my catch can since i put it on which was over a year ago.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
