hey all,

i have an R32 4 Door with pretty much a stock rb20det in it and i popped the bonnet yesterday and noticed oil all over the firewall on drivers side and it seemed that the dipstick had slowly rattled its way out a bit and then oil is obviously slowly comin out and with wind comin in to the engine bay while driving causing it to spray over the firewall.then after i checked oil level it read way way over the high line on dip stick so i drained like 2 1/2 litres out and then rechecked it and it was fine .

BUT my main concern was that there was oil on rocker cover/coil pack cover and around/in stock BOV.would this just be because there was way to much oil in there.

any help would be great thanks guys.

Holy shit how much oil did you put in there to start off with?!

My brother had this happen to him on a different engine (351 V8). It appeared that the breather was blocked so air was being forced up the dipstick, and when we were on a long trip through the country he lost a few litres of oil up the dipstick...

Althought i dont know if our engines have some sort of breather however...

But back to the matter at hand, how much oil did you put in there to start off with.

ive only put about half a liter in since ive had the car. so must of come from japan with too much and i must of looked at dipstick and got side tracked

First thing i did when i got my car was to change all oils and filters...

So from then on you know your have EXACTLY 5000kms before the next oil change and you know EXACTLY how much oil has gone in.

I would do an oil and filter change tomorrow just for peace of mind if i were you...

rofl .... running original oil from japan with a top up ... i feel so sorry for your car the cost of rebuilding a f**ked engine is nothing compared to proper servicing. Id be doing a complete oil and filter change immediately.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
