Enough to hit a tire and crash mate.?? For me I ant want no bit of oil in the catch can. I have went as far as putting those camshaft covers (oil splash) on all the cam caps. And beat the shit out the car. I was running a .9mm restrictor with n1 oil pump at 9k stock head. It was suicide I know. I dont care im out to find out for my self. Im reading some articles now on old nismo r32 track cars looking for clues.

Kml. Im just frustrated about it mate. Its seems like what im find out is some good info. Rbs sucks a## at returning the oil as the returns are only on one side of the head. 2zj has it if I remember right on both sides. From what I see it seems like ya just have to work out a very good system of letting it breath. Seems like its a big brething issue mate. Ill keep search on solution. I cant seem to find good photos of there setups from nismo. Like the way they plum the lines and catch cans.

Found the solution:D:D:lol::lol::lol:

Dry sump mate dry sump. All the way. Wow.

Well no matter what if you get it all right. Its simply wont last. Read the hi octain r32 gtr arical great info. I will sell my bmw and buy my first dry sump setup

Is dry sump oil pan avalible for 4wd oil pan. ??

Yes rich people and serious racers use dry sump on the Rb26 (and RB30) but for the rest of us a proper closed system works fine. I can't believe anyone would knowingly dump oil on the track. They wouldn't last long over here.

If you got anywhere near the end of the oil control thread Marcus you will have found a consensus on what works short of dry sumping it.

By no means am I rich wouldn't even think so mate. Juat thought I would mention that. We all must come to the conclusion that these rb motors are flawed in this area. Just last night I came to terms wit it. Im not going to spend this kind of cash into a vechile and fight with oiling issue which is one of the worst ones you can have. Mind you I have read this whole thread and to date I own no rb motor that spits oil out. Rb26 that is. One of my old rb25's does it tho only if its over filled. But that just means the bottom end is starving or cavitating.

I do have my cars set up when it comes to catch tanks and all with info I got from this thread and others. But my decision to go dry sump has nothing to do with a consensus. It just that I see way more benefits just building one dry sump setup in the coming future for my r33 gtr. I have been gathering parts for that build for years im almost done. Thank god I do all my own work or I would never be able to do any of this. So not rich here mate just work my a☆☆ off for the things I have or want. As for the champions anyone that owns a skyline is a champ in my eyes. :D

I cant see sending more than 10k on a dry sump setup. In the past I looked it up and saw most of the stuff for like 6k. Thats missing a few things. For the ease of mind and all the additional benefits from what I see comes with dry sump setup I cant see why I would spend 25k plus on a build to not just go dry sump even if its just one of my cars. If the motor was to fail it wouldn't sit good in my head now spending the 25k and having to build again for 25k. I feel its worth it really.

Im new to dry sump and have lots to learn about it. Doesnt seem to hard to set up tho.

There is no doubt that dry sump is the best way to go. You should be able to put it together for not much more than the $6k you mention although you can spend a lot on hoses and connectors.

As I said before fatz you have to raise the level of the breathers on the sump by some means if you need to over fill to keep supply to the pickup. It's either that or you need to extend the sump to make more volume below.

And for effs sake put some kind of can on the breather from the filler cap as a last line of defence against dumping to ground.

That will not happen mate it will die. I have not personally experience that but just read like we do here and learn. Read peoples experiences and everyone saying that it will work. Bandaid repairs basically. Sorry im in the same boat as everyone else mate. After spending so much I just thought I would share my opinions. If you guys find away I agree make it work. But in my opinion your not finding a way your just prolonging the inevitable.

My opinions are based on reading. Reading the rich peoples approach. Both wet and dry. Funny how they started out wet and ended up dry. Thats the main pattern I see.

Guys, I am looking for extended sump (8/9L with baffle) options. Hi octane ones seem to be having mixed reviews (casting being porous).

Have contacted ASR but no reply yet..

Any tried and tested options out there?

ASR do have extended sumps MrFIjiGold had a word with them and initially they wanted to use my car to design it however. Unfortunate happened and it's no more. I recommend you give them a call the big problem with out GTTs is that they have to design around the sway bar

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
