my latest setup

autech catch can with a line to a electric oil pump pumping to sump

second catch can

couple of breathers to it

-12 drain with one way valve on the bottom

extra -12 breather to sump to oil cap

tell ya how it works on the long weekend

Not keen on the sump to oil cap line. Interested to see how it works!

Would it help to put in a hose from the top of the sump above the oil level connected to the top of both cam covers to equalize the pressure and allow oil to flow down? I'm surprised Nissan have this design fault with the RB engines and I'd be interested to see what they say about it. From what I can tell it's only a problem for high revving drift and track cars?

autech thing does that

The restrictor in the block needs to inversely match you oil pump flow. Bigger the pump-smaller the restrictor.

Only way to fix it properly. All other methods are treating a symptom not the cause. Nothing wrong with the rb block.

I had a .9mm restrictor with my reinmax pump. No problems at all with full slicks and 850hp on the track

True that, ultimately though as the engine ages and you want to keep going you have to treat the sympton

so you get that extra 3-5k of track time before refresh

Hey guys I've got an rb25/30det making around 400hp atm having issues with the oil flow I pulled the head off & measured the restrictors they seem to both be 2mm I'm running an N1 oil pump with spool billet gears getting 3bar pressure on idle now on hight revs I'm getting more then normal oil into the turbo intake pulled through from my catch can, I've put a 3mm restrictor on the like that runs to the turbo intake but it's still pulling oil through.

What block restrictors would be the best to use in my application?

Cheers

Spend some time reading the thread and decide for yourself. I have 2 x 1.0mm

Why would you put a 3mm restrictor in a half inch hose? If you have oil coming through there you need to address the problem. Answers are in the thread.

Well the factory hose has a restrictor in it before the turbo inlet so it some what makes sense.

It probly more

like acts as a baffle so the oil drops out of the air and drains back to the head instead of into the turbo inlet.

I don't have half inch hose. It's -10, my catch can in plumed back into the sump so I thought I'd put a restrictor inline to stop it pulling oil from the catch can as it drops down from the top lines.

& I've read heaps of pages & couldn't find anything hence why I posted didn't know it was gonna be a big issue posting lol

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
