Hey guys i recently joint this forums.

I am having issues with my R34 GTR oil catch can filled up so quickly and poring out in engine bay.

first of all it is a highly build 900whp rb26 so i launched the car from 0 and leaked oil and all over went straight to the front tire.. end up with small accident rim, control arm & bumper.

so i had a this custom catch can build for me and it failed. So both valve covers has -12 lines to catch can about 1 quart with side filter.

any recommendations..

Sounds like you have a major problem. How long ago was it built? Has it always spewed oil? Patrick may be right - it could be an engine out job but have a read of the last half or so of this thread:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110680-oil-control-in-rbs-for-circuit-drag-or-drift/

Thanks for the quick responds.

few months ago, was fully build. i have driven this car much its more like a show car, how ever, i drove car on road to and on the dyno breaking in the motor and after that tune it for 4 hours on dyno @ 9500 rpm did massive power and 0 oil in catch can.....

i drove the car around is great healthy nice power and i did first launch on car to see how it s from dead stop at 7000 rpm and drove it few miles and another launch. and started slide and hit rim at curve.

and thats when i discovered oil every where from catch can.

it is high compression build and is good no problem very healthy.

was thinking maybe i need to upgrade the valve cover to mines foam setup. and biger can...????

i'll get some photos to share

What restrictors, it just seems like something has happened after your launches, at the power levels you are talking about it won't take much for bad things to happen.

Hell, at 900 HP I recon if you get more than a couple of thousand k before a rebuild you are doing well.

And one big lean run and games over.

That can looks like it was designed to spew oil, how much baffling is in there.

Have a good read of the link that Bob posted.

BTW lots of nice shiny stuff, get that thing sorted.

well patrick so i do have the stock restrictors and valve cover factory baffle.

i did install -10 head oil drain on back of head. and i was pissed off that inside of the catch can there no baffle foam or anything.

"Head drain" is a waste of space. Read the oil control thread - strangely enough the answers are all in there. BTW what oil pump do you have?

But I thought the head oil drain is very important sense it get flooded with oil in the head .

And I have nitto pump

But it's not a drain. It's a shame you are running stock restrictors

Let's say it takes you three hours to read the oil control thread. Pay yourself $33 an hour that's $100. Say your pump empties the sump and you run the bearings or put a rod through the side - what's that going to cost you? Do the research, come up with a plan and people will let you know if its the right one if you're still not sure.

after reading for hours, well first of all thank you guys.

I did come to understand this oil issue.

I was looking at my block when did the job, it did have one restrictor on the front (2001 rb26 v spec ii)

so i don't have to worry about the rear.

I also do have NITTO oil pump and i do street race, and some track.

so guys i don't know in Australia but in USA, they don't care about legal stuff like catch can need to be routed to the turbo, pcv deal. i don't think its healthy.
so i can with my plan and guys feel free to correct me
1) pull the head out,
2) port the head oil drainage to gasket size
3) Buy oil restrictors 1mm to be installed in front (heavy foot street race high rpm and some track ) tomei brand
4) Drill/port the block oil drainage lines with 10mm drill bit ( can the waste be flashed with the oil few times?) or
is it a must to pull that sucker out?
5)buy fuel cell foam and build a better baffle in the valve cover.
6)and build new catch can with baffle in side. 2x -12 and tom mounted filter
7) external head oil drain already installed. -10 to lower block.
8) use 10w60 fully synthetic oil
do i need to do anything inside my stock oil pan it is currently stock. with diff.

First I would get a compression and leak down test done.

Then if all is well I would go the restrictor.

See how it goes and maybe get a well engineered can if needed.(Sorry but I really don't like the engineering, or lack of, of your current catch can)

But that's me.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
