25/30's basically, what are you running in your setup? ive heard to block one oil feed and restrict the other or restrict both? or neither? what size restrictor are you using ... and what oil pump your using ? just intersted to see what ppl are using in there setups

  • 1 month later...

I'm gonna steal your thread as I'm interested in the same stuff

assembling bottom end at the moment.

rb30e oil pump with no restrictors versus rb25 oil pump with restrictors (what size???) what would be your choice?

Rb25/30 r33 series one head. daily driver + weekend thrasher standard head +35R

Hmm that's interesting..

With my 25DE (non VCT) head and N1 pump I really needed smaller restrictors (didn't touch them at all).

However the bottom end that is about to go in is a stocker with stock RB30E pump, I wasn't planning to restrict anything but now I am rethinking that idea..

Any advice would be appreciated as the head will be going on on Saturday!

Setup is:

- standard series 2 RB30E bottom end

- standard RB30E oil pump

- R32 RB25DE head

- ASR bigass sump

- cam covers vented to atmo catch can, PCV blocked, head has a fitting in the back but I wasn't going to bother plumbing it up. Still have the opportunity to weld a fitting to the sump for the head breather if needed..

So I guess my questions are: do I restrict the oil feeds and if so, how big should they be? should I bother installing a fitting on the sump (drivers side on the top of the wing?) for the head breather?

Yep sweet, just spoke to my mechanic and he said exactly the same thing about blocking the rear feed and putting a 1.5mm restrictor in the front feed. Cheers :thumbsup:

Can you get fittings that don't require welding to the sump? I was planning on bolting it up on Saturday so if I can get away with just drilling a hole and screwing a fitting it that would be much preferable to welding!

Care to elaborate on your bogan way?:P

Chuckie has grabbed me a few 1.6mm mig tips but I think they might be too small an OD, he's now tracking me down some grub screws to match the taps up at the workshop, worst comes to worst I'll drill out a 1.5mm hole in a grub screw and tap that into the front feed.

The good thing with the grubscrew is its easily changed. Screw it out and drill it bigger or just make another with whatever sized hole you need.

Ive found the 1.2mm ally tips, which have a 1.4mm hole have worked well (close enough to 1.5mm). Just turn them down in the lathe and part it off.

Care to elaborate on your bogan way?:P

2mm thick short nails tapped in with a punch and loctited in, then drill a 1.5mm hole next to them, they're long enough though that if they do come loose they'll hit the head before coming out, simply resulting in a tiny bit extra oil flow.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
