Common problem, just changed to the shockproof oil a couple of weeks ago and sure enough I have oil coming out of the breather, never had this issue until this oil went in.

Is there a solution to this issue other than changing the oil, seems like a waste of big dollars to dump it for a different brand.

Might try contacting Redline otherwise.

Would be interested to hear what redline have to say about it. By the sounds of it there is something within the oil itself which is causing it to froth up, only solution really is to dump it and get another oil.

That is FALSE - Do not think that extending your breathers will fix the problem.

We extended them higher and longer. It still made it all the way up and 1L would come out on cruise but none on the race track. It was only ever on the way to the race track we would lose that much. It would still lose it in small amounts on the track but not even a fraction in comparison.

They are just avoiding the problem. We moved to a better oil, we no longer have this problem

Hmmm interesting. So what happens when it has "climbed" all the oil out of the box? You have to keep refilling it all the time? Sounds shifty, im still running the oil previously mentioned and have had not 1 drip come out of the breather that i can see.

Yes, we had to keep pumping it back in. Even when it was 1L down, it would still pump it out up 3M of hose that was half a meter higher than the factory point and spit another half litre out into our bottle

We use Royal Purple 75w85 in all the street car stuff and Royal Purple 85w140 in the race stuff

Or Motul Gear Competition on request

im assuming this is in reference to Max-Gear which is suitable for diffs (75W-90, 75W-140, 85W-140 1quart bottles)

for gearbox i only see Synchromax listed but no info on the weights available

also cant find anything on Max-Gear being suitable for LSD

Syncromax is different

Synchromax® is recommended for manual transmissions that specify an automatic transmission fluid or motor oil. It is also ideal for 4x4 transfer cases and / or 2-cycle and 4-cycle motorcycle gear boxes.

And yes - Max Gear is suitable for LSD

Righto,

fears are confirmed.. THERE IS f**kIN OIL EVERY!!!, seems to only happen on longer trips EG 100km plus.. anyway

the redline light shock proof is absolutly pissing out the breather, not going to risk spending that much money again. Dont really care if it was a bad batch. Going to change to something else..

probably RP or Motul like Elite has recommended

cheers

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
