After having my motor rebuilt last August and doing less than 1000kms on it, when all of a sudden i had no oil pressure finally me and my mechanic removed the motor from my car removed the sump and it just started picking up on the bearing so probably the best news i could have heard, so replacing the bearings and putting in an N1 oil pump and Jun Crank collar which i purchased late last year.

I have done the Oil restrictor mod aswell, but havent done the sump baffle or Head to sump return mod.

Im in 2 minds about doing them i have read up alot on it i was looking at the tomei sump baffle but was told the Jun Sump baffle is better, I sent off my crank and collar to get machined today and i want the car back on the road asap i have never been on the track before and the car is prodomently a street car, but wouldnt mind starting to get into it abit more.

If you were in my position would you baffle it or just fill it up and extra 1.5L or so on the occasional track day i go on?

My Mods are:

r32 GTR

CP forged pistons (40 though)

prepped standard Rods

ARP Stud bolts

n1 oil pump

Jun Crank Collar

Tomei Restrictor Mod

Bosch 044 fuel pump

Sard Fuel Reg

r33 GTR N1 Turbos

Os Giken Cam Gears

Oil Catch Can

3.5inch Turbo back Exhaust

Standard Cooler

Remap ecu

a bit or head work

Standard Cams.

greddy profec B boost Controller

torque split controller

When i put it back together my friend is going to live tune it for me just untill i organise the power fc and injectors.

Is there anything else i should do while the motor is out?

Cheers

For the 10 minutes it takes to change I would put a sump baffle kit in, and still over fill it for the track.

Oil return is a good idea but it does take a bit more work to ensure it all fits close and doesn't foul when the donk goes back. If you are in a hurry to get it back on the road pass.

Well if you want it cheap you order from japan and wait, or if you want it tommorrow you'll have to pay more and buy through an aussie shop that has them in stock (justjap powerplay UAS etc)

or access in mulgrave have them in stock as well as full modified sumps

ask for steve top bloke and im surehe will get you headed in the right direction.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
