I am looking at the Mines & Reimax cam cover baffles for the RB26's. The thing I can quite get my head around is physically how large are they? Does anyone have some approx dimension - particularly for the Mines ones. The Reimax equivalents appear to be much shorter.

Both are shown on the Greenline site if anyone is wondering where to look.

ive fitted 5 sets of these...the most recent on Sunday. The Mines ones are longer and need to be drilled to clear the cam cap studs if you keep the baffle caps on.

Just the std setup which are bolts for all but the 8 which hold the baffle caps they are studs.

Maybe Paul could post a pic of the drilling ?

When he has a minute,as he is busy preparing for new arrival.

Best wishes to stace.

Anyone able to give a quick run-down of how to install these puppies? I picked up a set this week but came with no instructions (I know there are ones posted above, however I don't read Japanese) Is it a simple straight swap affair or do some modifications need to be performed?

I'm wondering, would it be overkill to use both the Mines triple flow baffle plates, and a oil/air seperator at the same time?

I'm also wondering with the Mine's plates, oil purists here (not one myself, but hypothetically anyway); wouldn't you want the blowby oil that would normally come out the stock baffle plate to be caught by your oil catch can than a oil/air seperator or the triple flow baffle plates sending it back into the sump?

Take em out , blank the breathers off and use a GZ vacuum pump , helps seal the rings better - reduces blow by -reduced and relieves crank case pressure - allows oil to drain out of the head quicker at higher rpm and increases hp - up to 50hp in some cases.Also helps keep oil cleaner if running a little rich in some areas. Good bank for buck.

do you plumb the pump into the back welsh plug where you typically plumb the head drain into?

what kind of vacuum figure would you aim for in the crankcase?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
