This thread needs some photos for those who dont get to see many dry sump setups or have never seen one.

Sorry the photos are not the greatest quality but they do show the dry sump.

Its a tight layout with a 5 stage system. These are of an RB26 in a GTR

And the boot with tank and some of the breathing system.

It is a pretty well sorted car, the owner has put alot into it.

The mentality has been, right way or no way from the beginning.

A few things still to change and tidy up, if I was to build another GTR for myself I'd use alot of the same componentry.

cool, ill have a hunt around for some pics.

unrelated to the dry sump topic but still oil related, I'll be giving you a bell re: a extended sump for my Soarer...just gotta check I can get the pan off with the motor in the car and how much room I have

The pressure stage is usually at the rear of the pump, it's a separate section that's sealed from the scavenger stages.

It's normally at the rear so the rear bearing plate can incorporate a pressure relief valve.

The new Peterson range also have a bypass valve that returns the excess pressure into the scavenger stage instead or returning it to the inlet of the pressure stage.

There are for and against for both types but the new petersons seem to work okay.

Mike I'll send you a different number you can get me on now.

Very nice choice.

In the next few weeks I'm hoping to test out one of my "behind closed doors projects"

An integral pump/pan with internal scavenging galleries using a similar Dailey pump that mike is using.

Working on the drive system still which will be via a multi row chain internally from the unused factor pump drive section of the crank.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
