Thanks for the help dude, you know your shit. :91_thumbsup:
The blue hose has kinked, it's not the correct hose, previous owner must've just slapped it on there.
I'll check out those websites and make a few calls on Monday.

How did you go with finding the s/s wound 5/8" hose today? I wouldn't mind seeing if I could get the original cam breather hose from Nissan also depending on price?

I didn't, I worked all day, won't have a chance to look into it until wednesday

Hicas, attesa, gt-st, gt-r, gt-t, R32, R33, R34, R35, evo, wrx, Nsx, type-r, fc, fd, ae86, asashi, sake, sushi. I'm a bit limited with my Japanese. What about t-revs? Fresh from the land of the rising sun? No substitute for experience!

my wife is a japanese teacher who hasnt worked since having kids, but perth is too far away :(

but got 6 bottles of bourbon emoji4.png

Ahh, bourbon/whisky, best cure for any cold or flu, till the alarm goes off at 5:30am the next day. Putting a lemon in the neck of the beer should help out alot also.

yes i agree. 

 

im considering putting honey in a bourbon/coke :)

After 3 months of squealing and telling myself they will bed in. I finally got off my cake hole and chamfered the new front pads. Only the p/s was squealing but I did both to be sure. I took it real easy on them to bed them in and aren't sure why the p/s did and the d/s didn't? Dba slotted rotors and bendix advance pads. Any ideas?

what process did you follow? 

 

i have Q1RM pads. they said to do 2 runs from 60-0 as fast as possible. then 2 runs from 100-0 as fast as possible. i had just skimmed rotors too. never had any noise from them

Ill check out what we have at work tomorrow and see if we have anything like it and let you know. I went with the clear s/s wound so it wouldn't collapse and could see if it was leaving any oil residue or staining inside the tube after the s/s wool packed catch can. Before the air intake to the turbo. I've pushed the car pretty hard on occasions and have had no blow by. Yeay. My catch can is a fully poxy drift one. (from autobahn)
I bought it the day I picked up the car to get rid of the evian bottle and garden hose to avoid a yellow. So for the mean time I put another 5/8" fitting reversed inside the can and ran it to half way in the tank and and cut the internal s/s hose at 45* so it would filter fumes and still had room to dump oil. Will fab up a new one and plumb it in properly from Ali when I have the time. (NEVER) :-(

I work:

Thursday: 1:00am - 9:00pm
Saturday: 8:45am - 5:00pm

That doesn't include mandatory morning meetings, and customers not getting the f**k out on time.
My roster very rarely changes, but just in case always double check.

Put the whole lot in new then braked reasonably hard 80-20, 100-20. Only p/s squeal. I mainly chamfered the lead and trailing edge at about 30* with a fine cross cut metal file and just took the edges off very minimally. All good now. Just hate doing a job twice. F##* might not have stood on it hard enough.

Did u check if it was a 5/8" or 16mm fitting? Just put a rule on it like the pic I posted and check the pipe o/d (outside diameter) not the swage diameter. Let me know. I would assume it is but always check.

I was worried about the abs juddering on the new rotors and pads if I hit it too hard so was just a guess.


Try nissan. I've replaced with genuine before and don't remember getting raped

It might pay to put a tiny bit of permatex on the corners and rear. Especially if its leaked bad off the rear exhaust cam side before. This will cop a lot of heat because it is near the manifold, turbo and dump pipe. Just a thought. Check there is no gouges or issues around where the leak was and it seats and Seals nicely. Pay attention to the fit up and get everything hard finger tight first then cross torque the cam cover like you would a head gasket. Clean all of the sealing faces up tidy as with a turps rag and make sure there is no gritty bits hanging around or shit from the rag. Use a soft brush to clean up the inside of the cam covers if it's gritty. Set aside a load of time and don't rush it! Don't know how much mechanical experience you have so just general advice. Nothing worse than dumping the gas pedal to a oily smell. Will be awesomeness once you have finished!

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
