na just a good gated sump from asr. i'm not overly thrilled about the extra weight from the extra 2l of oil, so the idea of all the extra weight for 12l of oil and the lines and shit for a dry sump don't make it a good sell..... and i'm being a giant jew.

Funds is the only thing that is stopping it from going again. I've got the new bottom end there ready to go, just need a bash some restrictors in it, and buy a sump.

na, still hydro lifters. Only reason I can see a need for solid lifters would be for bigger cams. But I can't see why you'd ever put bigger cams on a 20, as they came over cammed from the factory.

boost and revs=full catch can. There is a guy down here who circuit races a std RB20, and he won't rev past 6500 with the same boost as me (23psi) because he fills the catch can. The amount of oil that is coming out can't be fixed with catch tank tricks. And for the $30-$40 it's going to cost I thought I might as do it. I'm using SydneyKids specs.

had 263rwkw at the start of the week, 200 - 220rwkw on the new engine (depending on the heat of the engine), then take 5psi of boost off from day 4 onwoods...180kwrw??

E85 did give it a good kick in the pants though. I only tuned the 98ron map on the road, so I don't have a power figure for it.

I was running 24psi and 8000rpm out of my RB20 for a fair while running about the same power as you...

Not a single drop in my catch can and that car got belted the f**k out of it on a stock motor, so maybe the motor is a little loose or tired?

I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest.

I'm struggling to understand how .2 bar can make such a difference. Mine doesn't pump into the catch can either, and I'm not exactly easy on it. Even after 5 days of targa there was still no sign that there'd been oil in the can at any time (I have it so it self recovers if it does pump into the can)...... Hell, #1 piston was half melted away and it still wasn't pumping oil! lol

I'm putting mine back together stock internally, and will be interested to see if a little more boost tips it over the edge.

what thickness oil do you run? I was using Motul 8100 5w-40, but i'm going to goto 25w60. Neither engine was compression tested or leak down tested.

The N1 never has this issue, even with 25psi and a big nitto pump.

Yeh Castrol for all RB20 crate motors :) I have only ever blown oil when there was plenty of limiter action. Bump the limiter a few rpm so i never hit it and no problem. Even the breathing on limiter isnt a common thing, but its about as good as i can do for a reason for the 2-3 times it has happened

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • 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
