Thanks Bob and Bryce. Already getting some more info from RaceFab. Bryce, like Matt said, gtt has been replaced with a 34R.

It already has tomei restrictors (1.5mm from memory). Getting a catch can setup (rocker covers to can. Top of can to sump fitting #1, bottom of can to sump fitting #2.

Was going to get cam cover baffles but it seems its a waste?

You're on the right track. What kind of oil pump are you using? I would go for 1.2mm restrictor if there's just one or 2 x 1.0mm.

I don't agree with the rear oil feed being blocked off and beleive it was a "quick fix" by Nissan when they realised how much oil would go to the head and get trapped there, it also creates a air pocket under the bung which IMO is never a good idea as it give the oil somewhere to go if there is a spike in oil pressure from say a preignition which allows the oil to get pushed backwards from the bigend allowing contact which can result in spinning it

Even wonder way it is almost always one of the rear bigends that spin ?

They should be removed and replaced with 2 appropriately sized restrictors, i have a Nitto pump and 2 x 1mm restrictors in my 2630

Interesting theory.

The rear bearings are also furthest from the pump, that would be a contributing factor.

It's oil under pressure, the distance from the filter to the last bearing isn't that far different then the front one

Yeahh I get that, but couldn't undr the same circumstances of your example the oil be squeezed out through the other main bearings?

Like you siad. It pretty close; bearing wise. I won't say it again, and the only reason im saying it. Is beacuse of 2 reasons.

1. I was cursed to have the ability to be able to try all of the above mensioned so called solutions. (I know this will bite me in the butt later for saying this) 2. The damn money to learn hard ass leasons that don't work. ( guilt for not realizing the reality fast, bandaid approach) I would like to add a 3rd!! To think that there is a holy grail thats, theres a solution most of all that would justify my own fulfillment of my own personal goel to ignore oem flaws.

Now know how to fix it for the love of my own understanding, as to what to invest in, whiles asking myself is it worth it. ????. Sorry for my personal opions even if its not what most wants to hear. The rb motors are just flawed for the oil lubrication stand point.

Having a blocked restrictor hole creating an air pocket wouldn't drop the pressure at the bearings but create a lot of lag in building pressure. Just think about how a few air bubbles can affect how your brakes work.

MJTru if you keep complaining you may as well sell your skyline and buy a toyota corolla so we don't have to hear your opinions anymore.

Sorry mate sorry. Ill stop complaining.

What I have figured out from the other side of the world is. Is this thread needs to be more foused. People on this topic should face couple of facts even though they may not like it. For circuit racing there is just nothing better than a dry sump setup and you can sit here and talk all ya want about taking long left hand turns or rights for that matter. At the end of the day if this thread was to advise people in prioritizing there results based on there investments and time spent on there motors as well as how they use it, it would help 90 % of the people that read this thread and stop at page 30, and under. Prioritize the info and save time and money. It reminds me of the 90 -10 rule in life 90 % of the people making 10% of the money and 10% of the people making 90% of the money. It relates to almost everything in life. It even goes for hp goals. Wow. Funny how people react to just opions here. Im one of them.

Brakes and engine oiling are to completely different realities, the pump creates a constant flow of fluid which would pressurise the air pocket then find path of least resistance with the internal pressure valve in the pump mantaining a constant pressure

The problem with an air pocket is air compresses at a much different rate to oil, this increased rate of compression is what can allow oil somewhere to go in a hurry when shit hits the fan

weather this makes a difference or not doesn't matter to me, if there is a easy way to remove it then it goes

I'm just trying to give ideas, do with them as you please

I know this much, i don't have pressure drops or spikes and there is very little oil coming out of my first catch can and none out of the second one and i've done 6 hill climbs and 2 track days and 2 trips to the drags so far

XKALBA the second paragraph is what I was trying to explain, sorry if it wasn't clear. Hypothetically if you had a big enough brake master cylinder you could overcome air in a brake system too.

MJTru what you're saying is this topic should have started by saying "get a dry sump- the end"?

Edited by Dobz

Dry sump is obviously the best method and if you have a full race car perfect, get the dry sump setup

We have street cars and where we live the powers that be disapprove of those things on road cars so finding the best setup using a wet sump is what this thread is meant to be for

and yes a dry sump is the solution. For serious life. My car never dropped below 90 psi with the dry sump

Mind you there is always the I threw a belt issue that will f**k you

For kids in the northern hemisphere most race series ( is austrlalia) won't let you run a dry sump

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
