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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
