Hey guys not sure if you read my post a little while ago about a split pipe and the car acting silly etc etc

well this is the pipe that split now i have a question.

Can i remove this pipe? or is there another option i can replace it with, lol im not even sure what it does? i think ive seen it removed on some engines and i think ive also seen a little air? looking filter on the right hand side. basicly ive still got tape on it and it hurts my feelings, coz it looks terrible.

Any Ideas?

I'm also very interested in the response to this. A that pipe is now taped up on mine too and there are a couple of other pipes that are perished and need replacing.

I was thinking of calling nissan and seeing if they have a hose/pipping kit for the RB. Or get a pic and go down and get the specific part numbers for them. Though on the other hand could probs get somone on here to Fast them.

It's the intake (vent) for the PCV system. If it's leaking then the car will be using un-metered air, and running like crap.

Grab a new one from your local dealer - I can't FAST it right now as I'm at work, but it won't be too hard for them to find...

Its pain to get a replacement hose for that one, I ended up just measuring the diameter of the ends, got some rubber hose(rated for oil/fuel) and using some screw clamps. Much, much easier to get on and off when doing the plugs.

But with a series 2 it's covered so you can't tell till you take the cover off, so it's up to you if you want to track the hose down.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
