wouldnt happen to have a spare inlet manifold from the gt500 engine?

what will you do for me dave if I quickly steal that inlet next time i'm near one? I don't think nismo will give me one for love or money. and i've given them both over the years and they've given me some nice shit, but GT engine might push it! hope you get some inspiration from the pics though. :P

here you go you picture hungry animals. threw in a few nismo engine pics to make up for the slowness.

NISMO JGTC RB26 DRY SUMP SET-UP:

now that i see it's on a little dolly i should have wheeled it home :w00t:

I see they aren't to stressed about harmonics....full counter weight no doubt

yeah no real balancer as such, just a crank pulley to drive the water pump, alt and oil pump... everything would be finely balanced from end of crank to the clutch, not sure if the crank is full counter weight but it probably is.

Couple of things:

Have people who have done a full dry sump setup with a RB26 retaining the 4WD bothered take advantage of a shallower oil pan and lowered the engine? I can imagine it being a bit of a task especially to maintain the suspension and driveshaft geometry.

Is it necessary to run an oil restrictor to the head?

Hoping Brad (Risking) will comment on the first question.

You can't lower the engine much as the pan is not shallower where it goes over the A frame cross member and power steering. The sump box hangs in the abyss....

Good point; need to go under and measure.

yeah given driveshafts still going through the sump/diff in the front it's not easy to drop the engine much if at all. plus if the car is already really low (using just adjustable shocks) then driveshaft angles are already fairly bad.

if you went to a remove front diff (like a hilux etc) arrangement then you'd be in business. but such a hassle.

It's not hard to do at all.

I make the shafts with uni joints instead of constant velocities and put a good splined slip joint at one end to allow for length changes.

Never had a binding issue with lowered engines.

It also helps if you run a higher offset rim and move the hub outward utilizing longer front drive shafts. I think I know what mike has in mind hence the above suggestion he will understand.

The sump bulge gets cut off and critical parts of the diff casing need to be webbed into the pan.

Something I've also been stuffing with is a brace incorporated into the outter diff/sump flange which braces the diff casting to the block. It has seemed to help with the whole snapping diffs of with launching issue I used to have.

If you lower the engine you decrease your driveshaft angle which increases you track... so the proper way to do it would be to do what you suggested, you would not need longer driveshafts but the decreased angle might be an issue?

Why the move to uni's Brad? Sounds like a good idea RE: front diff casing.

Mr Baron: it is funny you mention removing the front diff. some mad fabricator in Sydney outlined plans for such a conversion :rolleyes:

Not measuring the angle of the driveshaft it is hard to tell how much but it will vary. Want to get under and have a look this weekend. Also to check what Matt mentioned.

You are quite the argumentative type :)

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
