finally decided to come around to the nissan side of things

bought a r33 gtr a few months back, starting to drive it now.

I've noticed oil is getting built up in 1 of the pod filters, the other 1 is clean and looks normal.

thinking perhaps and oil catch can would help..... but could be a common problem you guys would know of

any help would be great for my first post :action-smiley-069:

Breather pipe that plumbs into the rear rubber turbo intake, from the cam cover is the culprit usually.

When you put more than factory boost in, it tends to happen more. Normally there is a little build up over time...

Then the bovs recirculate the oil blowby mess through the intake and wet AFM's filters etc.

Nismo brought out a oil/air seperator can kit but it's exy, and people usually go the catch can route with breathers.

Cheers guys,

that makes a lot of sense. ill look at changing the seals and finding someone to put in an oil can for now.

would it make a difference you reckon by making a small hole in the rubber pipe leading into the intake pipe just until i have someone fix it up properly?

anyway after the post i thought there is no way i was putting a small hole anyway. so dont worry everyone it just a dumb question wasn't going to do it.

i checked it out yesterday and seals are fine...... sourcing a good catch can now :) if it's mixing with the fuel it'll make sense why it feels like im losing abit of power.

Is the oil on the inside or out side of the filter? Is your engine leaking oil?

I had a oil leak near my power steering which was getting blown by the engine fan over into one of my pods...one pod was clean and the other including the AFM was oily

Just a thought..

      My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
