Took the r33 out today was fairly hot (bout 40*c) have been running "redline lightweight". And found that it pumped a considerable amount of oil out the breather (bout 250ish ml). Has anyone had this issue. Wasn't an enthusiastic drive either, 45mins or so through Adelaide hills.

Aerates too easily, they changed the make up of the oil, used to be good stuff. It seems to be crap now and 'bleeds' everywhere...

As above choose something else, or run a catch can lol.

Changing the oil sounds like the go then. I was only running that oil due to the syncros in 2nd getting a bit notchy. I guess I've just donated $120 to bursons. Oh well, I spose I could have spent it on worse things.

Umm i think you will find that your engine oil is diff to your gear box oil,

that is what i know bout it. :yes: Ok just re read,get rid of redline,had same prob as you,bleads out of breather.

As others said change to something else.I thought at the time years ago that this stuff was a great fix,

it was'nt.

It's not the first time it's had redline oil, I only changed it because it had been a while since it was done. And second had started to get a bit harder to select than normal (hence reason for the change). We run it in the track car also and it's been fine. I'll take it for another bit of drive tomorrow and see if its the same. I just wanted to see if there was some sort of gearbox issue that causes the box to pressurise.

Just filled my box up with lightweight shockproof and even at the track, I have no problems with it spitting out of the breathers. I know gtr Joey had this this issue also.it spewed out a few times but the last few months, nothing. Slight overfill maybe?

When I bought my oil off the distributor, I mentioned this issue to him. He said he hadn't heard of any formula changes at all. Maybe a bad batch?

I've had the sht in my box for years. I used to have issues with changing into 4th when at 7-8k I'm 3rd.

I wouldn't run anything eles in a gtr box, it's awesome stuff, I'd b devod if they changed the blends and f**ked it.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
