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.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
