its no biggie TBH, the downside is the extra fumes traveling into your plenum and for a daily this is no major concern. For constant hardwork i DO recommend getting one though as long periods on boost and high rpm can create excessive oil vapors and this gets mixed with your intake charge reducing its volatility..

had a thought..... i'm not actually sure that residue is blowby...

the inside of the throttle body, and crossover pipe is 100% dry.

my car had a previous leak in a stock rubber cooler elbow, which took forever to find, so we sprayed it with carby cleaner looking for the leak... after this the car did 2 mt buller runs and the bay was filthy...

i think it might actually be dirt and crap stuck all over the carby cleaner residue lol

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
