A huge amount, is it a track car or something? They relocate all the oil in your sump to another canister.. normally drop the engine down a bit to when they're doing it to drop the weight distribution a bit more. Looking at at least $5k, and will only notice the difference on a track, :D

I might also interested in doing a dry sump setup myself. But from the searching I have done on this forum you should err to the side of caution unless you don't care if you munch an engine. There seems to be more to it than just slapping a external pump on.

Its been covered a few times. Theres a fellow on here who set one up on his BNR32 recently, if he cares to raise his hand :laugh:

Multi stage pump, new sump, a reservoir with heater, and a butt load of speedflow fittings and lines. Its very popular on V8's. Check companies like Moroso and the likes in the US.

peterson ftw!

If your mechanically minded...its relatively easy to do...its really just knowing or getting to know the little niggly bits to best suit an rb setup.

I can tell you...speedflow fittings and hose adds up to the same as the pump, tank, filters and bracketry....fricken expensive. When you start talking -16 fittings and hose......FARK!

are speed flow fittings and braided hose absolutely necessary? Couldn't you use high pressure hose with some heavy duty connections like powersteering uses? (just asking)

the pumps and tanks were designed to be used with speedflow fittings or something similar. If you wanted to change all the fittings on the pump and tanks over to another form then yeh you could, but i dont know how much you would save there having not done it before. We looked at using ryco steel fittings instead of the speedflow...but they are just too big and bulky and wouldnt fit especially at a -16 size. The speedflow worked just nice.

When weve fully finished and its all up and running ill start a thread outlining what we did, so there is some information available for others who are intending to do their own dry sump setup on an RB. Ours is on an rb30det fyi.

We are doing a pre season refresh on the Wholagan GTR so ill try to remember to take the camera to work and get some picks.

The sump was the toughest part because of the Diff and the cost got crazy for all the parts.No easy way of keeping Aircon so its a track setup.

We feed the oil back in the front of the engine as per the factory oil pump and use a bare nissan pump for the crank seal but cut the top of the pump of and welded the hole over and tapped a large speedflow fitting to the oil feed in the block.Its just as easy to pump the oil back to the oil filter boss but we already had a good cooler filter setup so it was easy to go the way we did.The engine is sealed up and the breathing for the engine is in the boot mounted tank.We used most parts 2nd hand from HRT but still spent close to 10k but oil has stopped being a problem in the years its been fitted,the engine is down for a refresh but looks like its been no more than run in,Little things like adjustable oil pressure and being able to drive the pump to prime the engine at rebuilds and oil changes is nice. Its easy to but ex touring car parts so look around but trust me,it costs much more than you will expect with just the hoses costing more than some ppl think the whole job will cost, but still less than one lost engine due to oil problems.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
