Big Sump for RB25DET

[enilyks33r]

I have seen oil surge in my R33GTS25t, I have 225/60x16s, DBA slotted rotors with EBC greenstuff. On hard stop from 60-70 kph with a full stop (ABS active) the oil light will flash for less than a second as the car stops!!!!

Better baffles or accusump are the only things that will really fix it, I drive round the problem at present but would like a cheap effective fix.

yep that happends too...i dont think it because of the oil i'm not sure....even a sharp stop does it, the car nearly stalls...

Serck Oil coolers are good too, can get a nice 19row cooler for around $260 with Dash 10 connections.

[Steve]

Roy where can I find one of those?

Cheers

"Dash 10 connections" ?????

[browny]

Dash 10 - A fitting to suit a screw on hose end (usually used with braided hose)

Most good speed shops should stock them. There are numerous places in Sydney.

From an independent US motorsport supplier...

The best and original coolers for motorsport, fitted as original equipment by most leading manufacturers, McLaren, Penske, Lotus etc.

GCG Turbos have a Oil cooler on special at the moment:

34 Row cooler for $275 (Inc shipping to your door)

CHeck it out: http://www.gcg.com.au/specials/specials.html

34 row, hmm could mount in on the roof:) Just a bit of overkill.

[JNR24]

heheheh,

ROFL its bigger than the stock R33 intercooler!

i have mine mounted where the stock cooler was.

[Freebaggin]

What are the dimensions for the 34 row cooler? I'll call GCG otherwise.

[JNR24]

hmmm... not sure...

give em a quick call..

(@ work and cant measure it)

[Steve]

Just bought one:) told me dimensions are 300 x 250 so not as huge as they look in the photos, besides a bit of extra oil never hurt anyone.

they use 3/4" banjo fittings (supplied) and the coolers are made by Serck;)

the guy told me that they are the same one Nismo use for their N1 models

[Guest INASNT]

where u gonna mount it steve??

thats a damn good price 2, might get one also

[Steve]

Infront of the right hand wheel, my front bar has a nice big nostril type thing there - the other side is my cold air duct.

Might get one of those little thermo fans for it too, only cost a few bucks second hand:)

Steve, Let me know how it goes, I plan on getting an oil cooler soon.

If you fit a fast acting oil pressure gauge you'll see that the RB25's suffer from oil surge just like the RB26's.

I think Sydneykid can modify the exisiting sump for extra capacity etc.

[B-Man]

Interested to know how much the braided line costs - that's a good price for the cooler.

Steve, are you going to do remote filter and thermostat etc ?

[Steve]

Paul, shall do, big cooler means extra oil volume too, cant hurt.

Brendan, definately will be fitting thermostat and remote filter, just need to fine some:) I am looking for a remote filter with thermostat, rather than inline sererate thermostat, but it is proving rather illusive. got quoted $20 per foot for braided 1/2" line from OG speed shop - going to have a look tomorrow.
