what oil restrictor you running? we run a 1mm and a tomei baffle (and twin oil coolers) with no issues in our drift car which see's 8000rpm for long periods of time.. that high octane sump was on the cards but requires to many mods to clear the sway bar setup in our car :D tis a real nice piece of gear

Ok will take some snaps in the next day or so.

And running a 1mm restrictor on the new engine which was startred for the first time wednesday so will be a few weeks before we get on the track in anger. Still have not found the reason for engine failure yet so it a slowly slowly approach.

Its a time consuming job to work out the mounting and cutting out the sump to fit it but good news its quite good quality cast alloy so it welded up a treat. Recomend that you bolt the sump to and engine block while its welded and let it cool before removing it so it dont warp. Mine came out perfectly no twisting or leaks yet

Hey Andrew, that's the same Sump Extension I have in my GTR should do the job for you know drama, your using it primarily as a track toy right?

How's the build coming along? And the M? Latest news is Motorsport have got the parts to make the gears and are manufacturing them, availability is scheduled for end of May/ June.

Hey Ben,

Yep, the only road use this car will see is on its way to and from the various racetracks ;)

Build is getting there! The entire car is stripped at the moment, and waiting for its date with Bond Roll Bars :P Then comes paint, and then I can start driving it! Brakes and suspension will be coming shortly after... They are both jaw droppingly expensive ;) It seems that any parts for cars with GTR or M automatically have a 100% markup :laughing-smiley-014:

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.

      They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
