Not really. They go back in their because it was the easiest way from factory.

It's a proven advantage to vent them somewhere else. My RX7 has the breather go into a bottle... The optimal setup is a 2L+ bottle, with steel wool baffles and a drain back to your sump.

Oil vapour = lower octane of your fuel and grime up intake. Which we all know is an issue on VQ motors. When I ripped off my intake it looked like someone had poured a bottle of oil through the intake. (Given it probably had never been pulled off its whole life of 200,000km)

Yeh, i'll probably do that, or just get a silicone joiner the same as the black pipe, just a little more dollars.

Just to agree...

They go back in there because it is part of the 'environmental protection' of using all vapours through the engine etc.! Even fuel vapours that come out of the charcoal canister get re-used into the engine.

Optimal setup depends on your sump size, what boost you are running (which to some extent has an effect on blow by) and how efficient the scavenging of the 'catch can' is. Draining back to the sump is good, but you don't want to pressurise your sump, so use suitable PCV valves, and vent the 'cleaned' air back into the factory position. Then less oil gets into the intake and you don't increase your chance of detonation.

The S14/S15 SR20DET has a great factory 'catch can' built into the rocker cover. The design means most of the oil gets returned to the sump, and it still vents back into a 'factory position' after the AFM and before the turbo. Works excellent.

Yeeep. I'll probably just end up getting a nipple put onto this intake, as i'm not after performance on this motor.

Oh and this afternoon got bored, so pulled some peices out of the interior and washed it all. Pulled seats out and vacuumed, cleaned up amp wiring and put it under the boot floor.

So gross what appears over time, the cup holder in the middle was a mix of tobacco and sticky spilt Rockstar/Monster, including under the slip-in peice.

Fitted the throttle body... redet the ECU.

Car wanted to stall a few times on the first drive, but after restarting the car it seems good. Drove around this morning for a bit and no 4wd light yet... which is a good sign so far. Fingers crossed.

Hows your idle? Steady at 650 rpm?

Big day today.

Headed out to AM Performance, who are planning to start producing M35 exhaust systems. Donated my car as the development car, should be getting underway in the next couple of weeks.

Then headed around to my dad's workshop and put the car on the hoist for a service. Was very interesting, gearbox and engine took no where near as much oil was I was expecting even though they were drained.

Have found a couple of things that need fixing through. Rear disks need machining and rear pads need replacing, and need a catch can. Couldn't find any reason for the weird noise that I get occasionally when I lift off, so sounds like new blow off valve too...

And after all that, I forgot to put on the intake spacer I got from Craig! :domokun:

Edit: And no bloody LSD!

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
