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

less thinking more doing shit that works in the getto Dash ten on pasengers side Two dash 12 on the drivers side, angles and spaced so as not to hit shit and be able to tighten the f**ker up note

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.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
