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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
