Not sure where the reply above was directed /\ (ie. which post was being answered)... but I think I understand that PCV is not as important as I thought.

...and I have another question. If the blow-by originates in the crankcase, and then travels up the oil galleries into the head, I guess it would be best to vent the sump? ie. cut-out the middle man, or so-to-speak, and let the oil galleries carry oil instead of blow-by? But, this makes me wonder... how do turbo drains still work when there is positive crankcase pressure? ('cause they feed into the sump/block...)

Had a go at google not real successful. Didn't know what to search for and anything with "RB25" returns a lot of general info (lots of which comes from SAU :))

But thinking about it... there must not be oil pressure there either, or there would be no pressure difference to make the oil flow through the turbo... so perhaps the oil return on the turbo is somehow plumbed into an oil gallery or something which is actually on the pickup side of the oil pump? I don't know anything about it, but I figure there must be a low-pressure side of the oil pump as well? Making the turbo oil return a somewhat ideal - and perhaps the only - place to plumb a return from your second oil catch can when using that setup? This would be no good for my original thinking though I guess because this connection must somehow be shielded from blow-by or else the turbo would surely starve of oil under boost! so need somewhere like the dipstick hole, but bigger, which sees blow-by pressure.

i'm looking to install one in the near future; just got to figure out a place to mount it nicely.

Would love one of those custom stainless steel jobs that will hold washer fluid in a separate part of the tank. But the usual/ideal location for it is where the battery sits (behind the drivers side headlight) in sedans.

if anyone with a GTR is interested, im currently making up some copies of the Nismo oil/air separators.

closed loop system, that drains the oil back to the sump. fully legal too!

i'll post up some photos when mine is finished

I'd like the JJR/autech over the head cylindrical catch cans...

-D

I don't suppose you know if you could run a setup like this on an RB25? I've been trying to track down something that would be street-legal and fairly stock looking for a while - I ended up realising a closed-loop oil/air seperator like nismos would do the trick - but I didn't want to waste coin on something that looked designed for an RB26.

Would love to hear more.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
