Whats the deal with the 25DET motor?
are they prone to the legend of sending excess amounts of oil to the head starving the bottom end like the gtr's? (from what i gather from reading online)
Is the head oil drain mod worth it for a street driven car that gets thrashed regularly?
Just like any Rb owner i love to be on the limiter (or close to it) for as long as i can before running a bearing or blowing something else up.
In my application I have a 25det neo completely factory in my laurel which I drive some-what weekly and also dish out considerable amounts of rape
on the engine a least once a month a drift events.
Is the mod worth it? do you think it will help prolong the life of the bottom end?

Concentrate on equalizing between crankcase and under rocker cover pressures, point being is you want less (ideally) or the same pressure in the crank case than in the cover.

A large enough fitting running from the crank case to the rocker cover does most of the problem solving, once you stop allowing blowby to run up the engine via the oil return passages, oil can naturally find its way back down.

Most times this is solved by either running a pipe or 2 between the crank case and rocker cover or by venting the crank case straight out to a catch can.

If you want to assist the catch can in pulling out crank case pressure out of the bottom end, run its outlet or breather into the intake pipe between the air filter and turbo, its a natural vacuum producing point thats free to use.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
