Sucks to hear about bank drama. Freeing up some dollars for a BMW or more Reno's? 

Freeing up some money to upgrade the house and hopefully find a place with either a double garage or a shed 30mins from Sydney CBD.

Wish me luck lol, maybe BMW afterwards ?

@Unzipped Composites should touch base with Ben at Thirdstrike Fabrications. He's ex-Hypertune and he uses the same cores too.

That's disgusting. Some people think they can do anything on a public road. Probably in a school zone with mum's with prams. If I was a cop I would hunt down and throw the book at that total

Please do this. How would you bonding to aluminium go with the pressure? 

 

5000psi lap shear strength and even higher burst strength... it should be ok with boost pressure ?

 

Heat is the bigger issue. Id like to do some data logging and record how hot the IAT's get in various situations. If it gets over 150° sustained for any period of time then it could be an issue.

have you got a pic of how you did the sump breather on the sump end? 

Just so I can get an idea on what I gotta do :)

I actually just used the unused VCT head drain/breather as the R34 NEO motor doesn't use it. Fitted up a 3/4NPT to 10AN fitting, and ran that to the catch can.

As circled in blue (not my photo). With R33 RBs that is attached to the head to that blank flange next to exhaust of Cylinder 1.

However, I feel that it's still pushing out some oil. I handed the keys to my friend to go thrash it around "Mexico" after we fitted everything and there's still a decent amount of oil droplets forming in the catch.

Find out soon enough, decided to go track day on the 14th of September LOL.

To keep @iruvyouskyrine happy ?

I really need to find a new R33 shell and move everything across. So much rust and shit on this one.

My vote, lowball this > https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1988-BMW-3-Series-320i-E30-Manual/SSE-AD-6762530/

No rust project car.

You will end up with your BMW, but it will be reliable, well, Nissan reliable anyways.

That would be well cool, and different.

Wrong side of the crank?

@mlr that's an expensive donor chassis.  Nothing special about an E30 except light weight, and compact dimensions.  Body lacks rigidity. Rear semi trailing arm suspension very similar in concept and execution to a Datsun 180B.  And the 80s spec M20 donk is even less exciting than a RB20E, plus more expensive to overhaul.

If Dose gets any urge to look at that, I will send him a pair of knitting needles.  The pain of those jabbed in the eyes will take his attention away from the BMW. :)

Yes correct, however just seeing if it makes any difference to relieving crank case pressure.

You would at least imagine it's doing something at the very least (as Nissan had it on the R33 motor). If this doesn't work out, motor out and welding on a couple of 12AN fittings to the sump and also will run a head to sump vent too.

I'm sure it does something. But perhaps being on the pressure side of the crank means it doesn't make as much difference as it should. Oil will be getting pushed up that line by the crank windage for sure. But it does probably also provide a path for the crank gasses without going up the drains. So it is maybe helping with the actual oil control problem, but you're still getting oil in the catch can simply because it is under pressure. 

 

For the R33 that wouldnt have mattered, that oil was just going back to the head rather than being evacuated completely.  Interesting that they didn't use it on the 34 though....

Solid lifters vs. hydraulic is probably the reason.

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Doug 98 R34 GTT · Posted

      Thank you both, much appreciated. Yes, 6k miles, not a typo lol. The underside, engine bay, engine, trunk, interior, etc., look great and super clean, has all the splash guards too. Not sure if you can expand the photos, but the dash pic shows the ODO. She looks brand new, inside and out, even has the original Nissan TV/DVD/Nav head unit; still thinks it's in Tokyo haha! I used to own a '94 MKIV Supra, sadly sold it years ago, but wow I love the Skyline so much! The R34 gets SO much attention here since they just became legal to import last year.

      I'm going to have to call shenanigans on the 6000 miles. There haven't been any R34s with 10000km on the ODO since the mid 2000s. Photos of the pedal rubbers, seats, carpets, etc required to even consider the possibility. At that many miles the underside should look almost completely new. The movement of the gear stick is likely to be 100% normal. As Duncan said, the differences from an auto may be surprising. It is a mechanical thing, not an electro-hydraulic isolation device.

      Rb26 expected power

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Timing map only tells part of the story, I've seen a few cars where the CAS has been adjusted so you might see 12 at the ECU but at the motor you could be seeing 8 kind of thing. A S15 I converted from PowerFC to Nistune had just that, CAS was turned back to have less timing than the ignition map itself lol... "Choonered".

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?
