hey,

sorry to make a thread but Question will get lost in the wasteland and want a clear answer.

now my old rb25 had oil blowby at the track (herd this is what rb's do at high revs) ok that fine.

bought rb26 rocker covers and mines cam baffles.

fitted these (removed pcv valve due to 26 covers not having them)

fitted plazmaman

plumbed my catch tank into the two breathers on the back of the covers with a kn filter on the tank.

now, as soon as these were fitted, i had oil vapour blowby coming from the catch tank setup.

any ideas on what to do?

nah just ripped the old motor out..

new one will be tuned tomorrow..

but wanted to know if not having the pcv valve is what caused the so called blowby?

The PVC valve allows pressure out, not in ... so I don't believe that is contributing to your problem. I would take a compression test. If compression is leaking past your piston rings, that'd be the contributor.

Hard to diagnose over the internet in any case. :D

Actually, when you say you removed (didn't use) the PVC valve, did you still have the hose from the plenum to the rocker covers (just without the PVC valve). If you did, then thats your problem. On vacuum your sucking oil vapours into the plenum ... and on boost you'd be boosting air into the engine, pushing the oil out any exit, ie the catch can.

:D

nah, plazmaman and rb26 rocker covers dont have any nipples/ports to have a pcv valve..

so i was running in theory a "blocked off" system.

on a rb26 the pcv valve runs from the drivers side rocker cover breather to a nipple on a metal bar next to fuel rail.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
