I don't have a spare car anymore, it's a custom made intake, no where to weld into. So no breather return until I make a new intake again ( number 4. And find a way to get a boost feed through a rubber hose.

Stao - it hasn't arrived yet

I... Don't understand lol.

Why is there no where to weld into? Are you saying it's made of rubber? That's even easier then man, you simply do as Sarge suggested and buy a brass nipple, heat it up so it's nice and hot, then push it into the pipe. Very cheap, and makes it's own seal.

My intake consists of a 45 degree rubber bend 2 inches of steel pipe then more silicon pipe onto the afm. In the 2 inch pipe I have my bov return, I will try to make a new one and move the return so I can fit another pipe in but there isn't much space.

Mods list, il type in order that I did them- hks high power cat back, gutted cat, k&n panel filter, spitfire coil packs, just jap bellmouth dump, just jap front mount, hypergear atr43ss1, Nissan 450cc 350z injectors, walbro gss342, nistune, z32 afm. I think that's all but maybe not.

So put the PCV return on the opposite side of the steel pipe to the BOV return? On a 2" long pipe with 3" diameter, there will be plenty of space to have two nipples.

A temporary option could be to block your bov for now and plumb your breathers into that nipple, at least then it would be somewhat driveable. May not work if the pipes are much different diameter though.

Nah I meant like every hose connection that you have made. So your boost source is running from the power steering and your pcv valve is venting to atmosphere.

gutted cat

The mostly rubber intake could easily be collapsing when your boosting, causing a big boost drop up top.

If that is a stock gutted cat your not going to get farken anywhere with it. The stock cat is a 2.5" item and that half an inch difference will hold back up to tens of KW.

Ok people. Need some ideas, what will cause 400ish ml of oil to pump out of the breather pipe in a split second.

You have a big motor spinning around, sloshing oil everywhere, getting hot and just generally making plenty of vapour needing to be drawn out.

The bottom end would normally breath into the rockers and the rockers would then have the vapour sucked out through the intake pipe using the suction of the turbo.

That circulation system is no longer there, so when your motor builds up too much presure it will pop the dip stick out and indefinitely spray oil everywhere.

Do not bother doing anything but park that car until you have put a proper intake pipe on it and sorted out that gutted cat. Make sure you hook up the breathers properly and the BOV, get a boost source from your first available cooler pipe while your at it.

The rubber bend is off a ken worth truck, I dont think it can suck shut, I covered the air box hole and it actually hurt my hand before it sucked anything shut. I realize it would suck a lot harder under load/boost but I was curious.

I understand the vapors coming out but a big stream?? If it was hooked up my turbo would have drowned I oil.

The cat is a 3" cat.

I'm doing a compression test tonight to see if the rings are stuffed.

On a side note to add to my awesome luck with cars, my wife's car is melting fuses now. Yay :(

Instead of starting a new thread, here is some symptoms any clues would be appreciated

Misses badly over 4000rpm, idles on 3 cylinders, backfires on gearcchages after it misses. runs perfectly when the tps is disconnected,

Ahh ok AFM well if that's f**ked its even worse. The factory ecu will still run the car with the afm disconnected in a limp home mode.

It will run rich and with low timing with hard coded values as well as a much lower rev limiter. With extra richness is probably what's making it smooth

I would suggest re soldering the AFM before moving on to a new one. should take half an hour and could save you a bit of money.

Number 1, your pipe could still be sucking shut at 20psi.

Number 2, if you have no crank case ventilation and the bottom end is full of gas/vapour/pressure what do you think will happen in the head? The RB's number 1 f*ck up is its oil system, it pumps too fast and drains too slow.

Putting 2 and 2 together your crank case needs ventilation so you dont get excess gas and oil sloshing around where you dont want it and it wont come streaming out the breathers.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
