Ok people, this is damage controll, I went drifting at the recent willowbank drift meet....yes im extra smart, stock turbo, stock cooler, stock suspension.....FOURTEEN PSI!@#$ WHOOOPS!!!

<---- there i am at willowbank, see any oil? lololol...."points to avtar"

So anyway, yep, drifting sweet....REDLINE...then I hear SSSPPPRRRAAAAYYY!!!.. i thought my turbo came to bits...so I went into the pits, and here is my dipstick, half hanging out...oil everywhere....look at my bov, oil everywhere....bonnet - oil...lol

so i kept drifting like a true champion would...brrt....and now im gonna pay for it...

can someone tell me the extent of the damage i have prolly done? and what would have broken to let all that oil into my IC piping?

and yes..the night before i changed my oil and put too much in...C.H.A.M.P! replace "A' with "U"

It could just be that you need a catch can etc.

DJ_lethal has the same problem with his 33.

his BOV leaks oil on and off depending on driving.

But it could just be the turbo has given up the ghost.

Nothing too major i would be thinking

Been here before. Bad news is if your blowing our the dipstick with any regularity it would be blowby pressure causing it, usually associated with broken rings/ring lands from detonation. It blows oil out of the cam covers into the intake, through the compressor, fills your intercooler, into the engine and huge clouds of smoke everywhere. Also would be coming out your BOV.

Diagnosis....get a leakdown test/compression test and be prepared to order new pistons, rings and engine machining.

Sorry to really cruel the buzz. You should look into the cause of the detonation. Mine was a compressor seal leak that dumped in oil at hight load causing the detonation but the result is the same.

Seen an RB20DET blow it oil seals before and have the same sorta effect, oil everywhere and give it a rev and it blows out of the bov. I was expecting it to have more damage but once I replaced the turbo on it (and put the 3ltrs (!) of oil it had blown out of it back in) it ran fine, didn't blow out the dipstick any more either much to my suprise. So you might be lucky and just need another turbo... or at worse you might need a new motor... Have fun...

Umm, im not 100% sure but what i do know is that it is a Shell product with no synthetics and its got 50+ viscosity? I got it off my mechanic who is sponcerd by shell...he uses it in his 2004 sti wrx in the ARC...so i figured my engine might like it ;) obviously not if its spitten it up... haha.

umm yeah about blowing out the dipstick...

I have had this problem ever since my car was TUNED, by a specific Performance place. It had never done this before, however now it does. As soon as I saw the dipstick had "popped up" I thought bad stuff, and yeah I had sat down and thought about it and come to the conclusion that it must be shot rings to allow the blow-by to pressurise the sump and blow out the dipstick.

I was worried, but I thought that it may also be because The oil breather line was not plumbed into the intake, it was just cut off and blocked, installed oil catch can and yeah it still blows out.

The mods I have are: FMIC, Button clutch (great for skids) 600hp in tank pump, SAFC, And the turbo is a T3 highflow. It is making 205RWKW on 15psi. If my rings were blown would it still be making this power? No oil smoke when dumped/revved or anything, just runs like a dream. should I notice anything in particular? By the way this has been going on for 6 months and no drop in performance. Engine has 73,000km on it.

Lol, well i talked to my mechanic friend, seems to him that cus i put too much oil in, and that my rings are most likely warn, that at the tempreature i was drifting in made my oil go too thin and slip past the rings and into the PCV which then put excess pressure on my sump, theirfore creating more pressure on the crank case, causing the blow out and oil in my intercooler piping and bov and what not....my turbo is still boosting....so im thinking that its ok......BUT NEWS JUST IN, I JUST GOT BEATEN BY A VTSS WITH 5 PEOPLE IN IT....this is unheard of......somthing HAS to be wrong....poor me...beaten by a vt....and i even brag about how much i eat them for lunch... he even pretended to row a boat past me when i pretended to whip my hourse....oh the pain, the pain of it all...hahaah...

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
