Thanks for your input guys, it's all really helpful :)

It was funny when I was at the track on Sunday the whole side of the car was covered on oil and some wiser said "Leaking a bit oil oil there hey?" to which I replied, "It's not leaking oil, it's sweating horsepower"

Well, lots of people in the know are suggesting better restricters so I might have to go for that! Then just get some GTR Cam covers and mines baffles when I can find them, bloody things are rarer than hens teeth! Except for those $400 ones on eBay.... he's dreaming.

Here's a diagram of the mines baffles I found, for those who are interested.

woolly the oils to scared when your making 500rwkw to leave home...either that or the catch tanks filled with alpackers

his catch can was full of grog last time i saw him drain it lol. all it was missing was a slice of lime and some ice cubes.

The size of my wheels in these pictures scares me a little bit...

Awesome day, wish I hadn't tightened my rear sway bar the day before, had no rear end traction at all! That's what you get for assuming it will stop raining I guess :P

Your offset looks pretty bas ass though.

I assumed it was standardish until I saw Alex's car, not many skylines getting around with standard offset/rims.

I need a set of 20's and some spinners to complete the bogan look I'm starting to get. God damn hair grows into a mullet every second week... Perhaps it's fate and I shouldn't fight it?

P.S. This thread is so about me, my hair and my car from now on. Better get used to it :P

f**k you and your hair and your car and your favourite colour!

This thread is now a rageathon about oil coming out of breathers.

Just ordered my mines baffles and oil restricters! Testing the baffles this weekend to see what that fixes. I'm going to go and agree with Jangles though and mines baffles plus 26 cam covers will only increase my engine's ability to store oil in the head. 26 covers with baffles are just treating a symptom, not the cause. But they will help with keeping oil in there when giving it the beans up the hill.

Restricters will keep the oil out of the head and keep it in the bottom end hopefully curing my oil surge issues.

No one seems to know what oil restricters went in there, confused.gif Oh well, you get that on the big jobs.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
