Dry Sump Setup Pics


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help with pictures of their dry sump sump modifications. I am currently building a setup and have seen numerous setups but want to see an rb26 one that has been modified.

I have read the previous posts on dry sumps but no pics were posted.

lol, one day my son. one day.

There is so much to learn from that motor. I could stare at it for a fair while.

here's a couple more nismo motors:

NISMO S-TUNE MOTOR

NISMO NUR SPORT MOTOR

I think this one was an N-spec or production racing motor, definately some kind of race motor, but not as wild as the JGTC spec motor:

NISMO F-SPORT MOTOR (RB28):

NISMO R-TUNE MOTOR in it's natural habitat :O

And the grand daddy of street set-ups: The NISMO Z-TUNE MOTOR in it's natural habitat:

I'd have to say Nismo never fails to please.

*yes, they are all pics taken by me at Nismo, Omori, Japan.

So where is the oil , in a dry sump set up....I'am confused :)

Dam this mods.....

In a dry sump setup the oil is stored away from the block in a seperate reservoir. The oil cycles around the engine and back through the reservoir giving the oil to cool (whilst being away from the heat in the engine) before it re-enters the engine.

    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info 
    • It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings. 
    • Great discussion guys. I just have coil overs in my car right now. Ride is pretty stiff and everything feels very precise and accurate when hitting the corners. I started off with a high level and kept specimen.   the only item I feel I might need to adjust is my camber with control arms or a kit as I might want to tuck in my rims more so there is no rubbing. Otherwise I have not thought too much into it as quite happy with the setup. I think the bushings are all good still.    My motor is currently out now but I have got a nismo front strut bar to install. So that should help with body roll in front.    added a photo of what I started with before the modding or let’s say modernization of parts started. 😂
    • 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.
