Oil Dip Stick

[Paul OConnor]

Hi All,

Have a quick question for you, Im doing an RB30 Conversion for my R33 Skyline, the block that I got had no dipstick on it, but I know where I can located one from a scrap block, the main question I have is, Im getting a modified sump from RIP'S, if using the orriginal RB30 dipstick the High level on the stick regardless of what conversion made to volume is the correct level/height for the oil?

Thanks

best off asking rob @ rips about the rb30 dipstick & how it should measure in terms of oil level.

i also run a rips sump kit BUT i am running the rb26 dipstick & rb26 tube - this i know at the right level needs to be 8mm off the 'high' level as the adapter itself is 8mm thick - this is also confirmed by rob

Your running a GTR so you have an adapter plate if im guessing correct, I wont be have one as I have a GTS-T, Ill drop a mail to Rob but wonder what everyone else is doing in the forum

Why wouldn't the dipstick read correctly? You'll just have a small amount of extra oil equal to the thickness of the adapter plate which will be a good thing.

I still run the rb30 tube/dipstick on myn with the adapter plate.

All I did was fill it to the correct level, then I marked on the dip stick again where high was. Works for me anyway.
