its a new pump.the old and the new one wouldn't have the same problems .different housing ect ..yes the pick up inspected and clean. and oil drain bk mods at only 225hp if that much would mean this motor has serious issues if its needed .

If you ignore blowby, HP figures are totally unrelated to oil pressure and flow. You could have a 50HP RB26DETT with oil drain back issues. Just say'n, don't rule anything out due to hp figures.

If you haven't had a good run with your engine you may not know if you are going to have oil control problems - and they are not related to hp but to revs and oil pump choice. there are two main symptoms - at extended periods at WOT such as on the straight on a track or on a dyno you can get too much oil in the cam covers so that it spews out everywhere. The other is that you can pump the oil out of your sump faster than it flows back potentially creating oil starvation. If you have the head off I would bang the appropriate restrictors in now anyway.

yes I understand how the oil system works ..this build has zero blow by ..and as for rev ..its prob seen 5000k to redline 5x in its 400miles... when my pressure drop off its usually from a 2nd gear pull. not going tru the gears and shifting hard .. I simply accelerate from 2k and by 3k my oil is up to 60psi.by 4 stays around 65 and by 5k falls off to about 55psi and would stay there to redline if I hold it.

UPDATE!!!!!!

so guys i have changed the bearings and went a thou thicker ..so clearances by elimination now is about .0016-.0018 and the oil pressure is up like a bitc* ..at start up its bk to 78psi but at a blip of the throttle of around 2500k its up to 100psi n climbing ...when warm it idles at 28-30psi when heated after some pulls it rests about 22-24psi ...at 3k when hot or warm its up to 70 psi at 5k its up 84psi .... when hot after some pulls it goes around 60psi at 3k and 74-78psi at 5k and holds..i havent hit the limiter yet as i see no reason too ,, car pulls hard...

have a new problem now..lol... experiencing windage ... my rb26 is in a s15 so we used a rb25 sump ..and did a lil customising to the sump...first i had 4.5l of 20-50 oil in it and when the boost hit over 16psi the oil pressure would drop to around 35psi when it climb rpm fast ...i added 1.5l for a total of 6l and now when i boost it drops off from 82 to 70psi on pulls ...so am assuming its time to get a 7L sump to help combat the problem..

but even how its set up now am still satisfied as am only revving 6k and getting 70 plus psi will over the 10psi per 1000rpm rule...

and yes the bearings had damages to them from the break in period of just 600-800km on low to no boost ....

also my tach was off so it was more like getting 3.5bars at 4200 rpm with the wider clearance and staying there...

hope this info is help full to other builders

so rule is...... wide clearance require bigger pump or oil pressure will be on the sad side......

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
