Whoops, yes i did mean catch can, corrected it now. Yes i understand that now. The two goals are to reduce the amount of oil entering the head, and equalize crankcase pressure. The oiling issue is s

I ran my set up right up to 8800rpm at 2 bar (740rwhp) around the track with sticky R-comps the other night and not a drop out of the catch can. This is with no oil restrictors to the head and a stoc

Can anyone post up any pics of the mods to the oilways in the head & block. I'm just wondering which ones to drill out & which ones need opening/funneling out.

Cheers

Stu.

Very simple, all of the returns to the sump.

If it's not an oil return, then leave it alone.

Cheers

SydneyKid there is a hole in the block near to oil return... Is it a good idea to return the oils from the head there?

Depends on what block, generally speaking, no there isn't. That's why the suggested return is into the top LHS of the sump.

Cheers

hey there,

just a question, ive read so much about the oil problems RB engines have, these cars arnt cheap to but, so much technology goes into development of these machines, and there seems to be about 6 problems with the oil side that sydneykid lists, why the hell have they not developed a better system of oil supply when testing their cars? or maybe nissan should have hired someone with a brain (sydneykid) to do the most critical part of a car engine????????

Ask Nissan???

If the GTR's were used and driven as a stock road car with no power mods etc, they would be fine 90% of the time.

They did fix the oil pump drive from late R32GTR's onwards(thats about it).

As soon as you push beyond factory specs and set limitations, that's where all these mods come in handy I'm sure.

I was lucky enough to see the inside of the engine that gibson motorsport built for kerry packer's car back in 91 last week. while they had made some mods, they didn't have:

external oil return

restrictor in feed to head (in fact they had opened both feeds!)

wide drive on the oil pump

expanded internal oil return at the rear of the block.

I think it is fair to say the development that gary and the race team have done on these motors over many years, and they fact they have been willing to share the knowledge at no cost is very valuable to everyone on these forums

oh, and it spun a bearing on its first track day....

Ouchhhh! That's expensive. How much was the engine back then....~150-200g?

Dunc, what changes have been made on the engine/car that caused the spun bearing? Was there any new oil pump, was the rpm limit raised, stickier tyres etc etc?

Cheap compared to a f--ked engine or engines especially if you plan on doing a lot of klm's on the track.

Dazmo, what kind of dollar is it for your dry sump and is there anyway of fitting one into a rb with Aircond and power steering intact :D?

You drill the smaller round holes to 9mm right?

I'm drilling mine out to 10mm, to match the head gasket.

Diameter of one of the oil drain holes, where it steps to the larger diameter is 9.65mm, and gasket was 10mm.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
