??? Im not sure if its the same but an rb26 is about 4.6 litres at minimum; most people put in 5 for extra protection around high speed bends.

2.5litres is waaaaay to low; did your oil light ever come on?

ha yeah thought it was a bit low nah no oil light

i was guessing about 4.5 litres

all good now thanks

Yea my r33 has perfect oil level at 4 litres. Did an oil change in a mates R34 and had to use the full 5 litres and it just hit the minimum line on the dip stick... wierd.

that is weird, i usually put 4.5 - 5 litres, seems to fill her up nicely ( R34)

Im sure your not that silly, but was this before you filled the filter?

Im almost 100% positive that the OEM manual says that they take 4.5 litres.

Thats what i always put in mine and it doesnt go above the F mark. Even 5L (that i put in for track, maybe a little over) it didnt show a great increase on the stick either.

Was after, filled with oil. Ran the car to fill up the filter. Then checked the level, and then added more oil and kept checking. Found it real strange.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
