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..

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
