OMG my sump crashed into a big ally box with blue bits on it.

I can see me at super cheap from now on.....

"Hi I need some cheap oil for an oil change. 3 bottles of whatever is on special...

"What, 1litre bottles?

"No, 5 each, Brad promised I'd never kill another bearing this way

That's a challenge I really trhink I am up to :(

hey evil chris.....in 10 days.....thus the rush! Oran Park last weekend of May. Wathc out dinosairs

yous drunker than me. I can still type coheirantly when i need too.

There's fancy shit inside it too!

I measured it and you will need 3 bottles of the finest. thats a pretty expensive oil change but still cheaper than a rebuild. Actually it costs me less to buy bearings than it does to buy oil now I think about it!

Still a bottle or two short of my tank!!

If you do another bearing Im dry sumping it and shoving the oil pump up Guss' arse!

There is nothing else we can do about oil control using this stupid pump layout.

Myt welds on that sump are actually pretty straight, needed another crownie before I welded it.

Indeed - no other GTRs entering this round? :blink:

Looks like my chances of getting there are better - but still could be impacted on stuff beyond everyone's control. The motor is in the car and will be running with a couple of hours work - then she just needs a run in, check the tune and it's right to go. Fingers crossed.

haha, that's be the day to attend!

His new donk should survive, or it friggin well better cause we don't have the spare built yet.

Sam spent ages checking and double checking then I spent ages checking again before it was assembled.

Duncan seems pretty happy with the sump and external pick up arrangement. The sump only JUST fits inside the sway bar and chassis rails. It held just shy of 14 litres from dry!

good stuff jay. and brad for providing the location :( still a lot to get it ready for the weekend but at least shes running.

Chris - its qual and race 1 on sat, or 2 races on sunday. sunday is probably a better day to watch.

well actually, if you wanted to see my car run.....waiting until sat was too late.

oil supply issue to the head led to a snapped cam while running it in - so I've gone from just making this round to missing it by a mile :D

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
