well i'm getting everything done , Forged Rods + Pistons and ACL bearings all round . N1 Oil pump + N1 water pump and full head work done .. so im expecting around 300rwkw+ with the turbo + Fuel setup that i have .. I give the car alot of hell , hence why my last motor blew up due to seized bearing or whatever made my rod fly out the side of block .. I just dont wanna have any oil issues with the car and was wondering is the Spool Hi Energy sump too much for what im doing and does it really help with the rb25 oil issues .. also i am fitting the tomei oil oriphis or watever they are called into the head

I agree. Drop the N1 pump too and buy a JUN or something better with the money you'll save, and run the 1.5mm restrictor/block off plug setup as per sydney kids recommendonations.

If your overly concerned about oil surge on the street because of how you give the car hell, then run the oil level a tad above the high line. Problem solved.

if you're just doing street work there may be some baffle kit for the sump?

i have a sump baffle and an oil restrictor on my GTR when i had my engine rebuilt.

it works well for the street.

and if you're not tracking the car, then i doubt you'd really need to be sitting on the rev limiter when driving it on the street.

Waste of money.

N1 pump is fine.

Stock sump is also fine.

If you are worried, just overfill by 500ml for a RB25. As long as the head/restrictors are done correctly in a street car you don't need to go all stupid on parts.

Especailly not for 300rwkw.

Im buying billet gears for my stock oil pump...should solve durability issues as even the N1 pump still runs sintered steel for the gears, which is prone to cracking, the best part is the billet gears cost a lot less than the high end pumps but should be just as strong

if the motor is out then y not do it anyway???

what if in 6 months he suddenly decideds he wants to take it racing abit.

may aswell do it now n save on labour in the future.

I can play that game as well... What if he doesn't go circuit racing? Pointless mod.

Even with 300rwkw @ the circuit - Your "average" 350rwkw GTR with 4wd and semi's comp's doesnt use sump baffling...

Now given they will have more traction and g-force than a 300rwkw gts-t will ever have...

I cannot see a baffled sump being of much use.

More beers @ the pub for him basically, signifigantly more infact.

The fact he "gives his car hell" and threw a rod would be more about limiter abuse and poor maintenance... none of which a super sump is going to stop at all.

fit std pump and std water pump, more than adequate.

We used a std RB26 sump with removed diff and a tomei baffle only. With a greddy pump (60l per min) we had no issues for 3 years, we "upgraded" to a bigger baffled sump from a reputable engine builder and it cost us two engines (independently inspected).... swapped to an ASR and all the dramas are over.

point of story, you dont need one but if you do the only after market RWD sump we use now is the ASR (high energy) item.

Was it a properly built motor, with 300rwkw, as per the nature of this thread?

But then, all you NSW people seem to suffer from SBS.

Stock motor at 250RWKW...

And it spat it off throttle. When I picked the throttle up it was all over.

And that's because NSW has real race tracks... Or did... :D Oran Park ate mine going through the dip before the bridge...

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
