lol Joel, you redeemed yourself with that last line :)

seriously Damo, unless you've done what Joel and others have done in relation to baffles and restrictors, do not try this method.....2 laps around Malalla and they'll be full.

I still believe that the 2 can setup that I described earlier is still the best for no other mods to restrict the oil

+2 for the two can system if you havent done your internal oil mods..

It worked well for my GTR and I took it to the track all the time and was doing quick times.

I still overfilled the oil a litre and half as well.

Your always going to get a bit of oil in the 2nd can if your pushing the car and out in it alot..as long as you top up the oil you will be right ;)

I decided to fit an oil catch can before i went to Mallala on Sunday, just one of those cheap ones from ISC. This is how much oil was in it after just one day at the track.

No baffles, and yes i did overfill. Filled it to the top of the H on the dipstick and i tried not to rev past 7000rpm but i hit the limiter at 8000rpm a few time when the wheels decided to spin coming out of corners in second gear.

If the catch can fills up with oil after a few laps, what would it indicate? Severe blow-by? Or just incorrect setup?

They all pump oil out when at high revs from the head as the oil cant drain to the sump quick enough. Mine used to fill up after a full day at the track

Depends on how big the catch can is to get concerned??Thst why I like the two can system one mounted ontop of the head and breathers going to a seond can situated near my headlight

If the catch can was filling up with general driving thats blow by :wub:

It can be due to a number of factors, the most common being.

1 Incorrect set up. Mostly this involves people removing the pcv function which allows the sump to be pressurised which in turn causes problems. Make sure the pcv is fitted & working - this can be done even when a catch can is fitted.

2. Oil in the head splashing/generally finding its way into the recirc system. This is common on RB26's particularly. The popular conception is too much oil pumped is into the head - but it is just as much a function of poor shielding for the venting system. It can be fixed by oil restrictors (head off), oil return lines (engine out - mostly), Mines cam baffles (see below!) or oil/air seperators like the Nismo offerings (Stupid money for what you get). The principal advantages of these systems over catch cans is the are either hidden from view or look stock. Which means one less potential point of grief from the police. There are other offerings as shown in this thread but they tend to stick out like dogs b@llocks.

Pete,

Another mod is to relieve/vent the pressure in the sump to a catch can. Also works as a catch can drain if needed which it won't. :D

Where can this connection to the sump be made on an RB25? Could you just T-into the turbo oil return line? Also would it need a PCV valve?

PCV valve has almost nothing to do with it. The PCV valve only operates when there is negative intake manifold pressure, so unless you have a N/A it is closed apart from off boost... The factory system utilities a passage from the breathers to the intake before the turbo which allows the vacuum from the turbo to continuously pull from the crankcase.

The main thread has better details, no point going over it again in here.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
