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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
