just wondering how many of you out there this has happened to and how much damage you have done. the story goes first day at the track (haunted hills hill climb) get a good couple of pratice laps in then what we think at this point in time and after reading its a big end bearing wont know until we pull the engine out but yeah were pretty sure it has got oil in the head and run out of oil down the bottom from the car and the movement on the track and high revs. just wondering what you have done and what sumps everyone has used. i will be puttin one of those things on the back of the head to get the oil out but just wondering the best sump and where you have got them from and sort of price. also is the rev limiter bein set at 8 and a half to much revs

thanks

I think it's the severe lack of punctuation.

sorry but i didnt know it was an english class cant read it or understand dont bother writing anything

It's hard to help you out when no one understands what you're asking.

also, you dont need external oil drain from the head. waste of time.

ill ask even though i probably know the answer...

did you overfill the sump by 1L like you should have?

Bingo bingo and bingo.

I went to all the trouble of doing the rear drain on cats car then tested it on the dyno..... even with it disconnected and running 7500 for close to 15sec (don't recommend this unless you own it :blink: ) is still stayed dry...

no it wasnt over filled by a litre

Well that’s your first problem. A big no-no.

acl bearings, cp pistons, ported and flowed head, n1 oil pump

This sounds like the second…

What oil control/restriction mods were done as a part of the rebuild?

I’m gonna take another ‘wild’ guess and say none?

Realistically you don't need a sump if you've done everything else correctly for that level of setup.

Plenty of people before you have been totally fine.

So the head to sump oil return line that people have been using for years and everyone always says to do it.... Is a total waste of time and money and dosent make any benefit what so ever??

Not one circuit GTR down here has one.

If everything is done right with block restrictions and so forth, then you don't need it.

If you did a list of people with them, and then without... it would be extremely one sided.

not everyone, just everyone that only reads one side to the oil control in RB thread

and not to say it doesnt work, just doesnt work the way people think it does

but the ones trying to disprove its function only claim how it works in what they have seen on the dyno

how can it be tested on a dyno when it is not subject to the same g forces being placed on the car like it would be if it was at the track

that and the fact that they dont use them and dont have issues,

maybe there should be one at the front of the head, so under heavy breaking all the oil rushes into the sump :D

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
