i still havent got an answer about how you can keep the oil pumps alive with those revs on a rb30.......

who says it rpm that kills oil pumps? I've been over 10,000rpm with my RB30 lots of times with a conventional style oil system and wet sump

same...mine sees 9500rpm almost everytime its started...i reused my JUN pump as it had the faintest wear line down the drive face.

I would also like to know what mods are needed?

i had my 30/25 balanced within an inch of its life with lightweight skirtless pistons etc to get some revs out of it but would still be hesitant to rev to 9K just curious.

The R.I.P.S rb30 bottom end has billet main caps and over 75 bolts that hold the bottom end together.

A nitrided,cryoed crank,grub screwed and balanced and there you have it.

i dont know how u can count the sump bolts as bolts that tie the bottom end together, its actually only 51 if u use the rips "4 bolt" mains, 37 if u use the normal 4wd adapter. Total number with the sump bolted down is 79 with the rips "4 bolt" mains and 65 with the normal 4wd adapter.

Ok there are 51 bolts that hold the bottom end together.

Sorry :)

The sump adapter is made to suit the billet main caps. I dont think you can buy just a sump adapter plate but im sure Rob could confirm.

Its not actually. The sump adapter is made to adapt the 4wd sump onto an RB30. RIPS just incorporate the sump adapter into their "4 bolt mains" setup.

I make the sump adapters, rips make the sump adapters, pro engines make the sump adapters + more

Can i have one?

No i meant the billet main cap bottom end has a sump adapter but can only be used on R.I.P.S s billet main cap bottom end and you cant use this sump adapter with a standard girdle.

Im not sure if they make just a standard sump adapter like pro engines one.

Ahh k gotcha, yeh they do make the normal sump adapters

If you dont want to rev it hard just go for the normal adapter plate.

the bottom end will cost you the same as a 26 to build.

Adapter plate is somewhere around $1000

But if you want to rev it mine owes me about $14000 thats a R.I.P.S billet main cap bottom end.

we overlayed our circuit cars dyno chart with both power and torque against the GT-RS's on the drag car and you would swear it was the same car.

The low mounts at 22psi and the T04Z at 24psi...same power but the low-mounts power was made a little earlier and held on for longer...same with the torque...both are HKS powered cars but the circuit car was on Sunoco and the drag car was on BP98.

hey paul - was the T04Z or GTRS turbo's modified in any way?

ive always liked the idea of running twins on a gtr - the 2 'balls' of the godzilla!

The T04Z is an off the shelf HKS item. The GT-RS' were modified Red R Racing spec items.

Shanef, (with tounge in cheek) I'm so glad you know all about my products, what they can do and what they can't what they include and what they dont and what works with what and what doesn't, saves me alot of time, incredible :P (couldn't find sarcastic face, lol)

IMO the sump bolts play a key part in holding the whole deal together, you wouldn't be happy to let the sealer dry then pull out the bolts would you?

If you can spread load in any direction and minimise it at any point it has to be an advantage and the sump bolts are definatly to be counted as an integral part of the bottom end.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
