I'm in the final stages of my oil system and wanted peoples advice/ideas

Ill be running an external single stage pump

Sump is going to be a custom alloy baffled and high volume setup that iv designed myself it will have fittings for oil pump, catch can breather, front oil return from head, rear oil return from head

Vct will be blocked off with 1.2 restrictors in the block and drilled out returns in the block

Oil cooler is currently set up from factory oil filter but that was where I was going to put the line for the oil pump is that the best place to put it?

engine is a rb25/30

I'm going to have a mesh cage kind of thing around the pickup pipe and a micron filter in the fitting and iv got a filter relocation kit in the cooler line would that be enough?

I'm mostly worried about the best place to plumb the oil back into the motor from the pump at the moment

Not sure if this really is an issue or not, as it's not my first hand knowledge, but when talking to my machinist when welding up my vct feed, he mentioned pre neo rb25s use that feed to lube the front cam bearing and that he has seen a bearing destroyed as a result of just blocking up the feed. (neo head vct is different) If you look at this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/251669-rb2530-rb30det-vvt-internal-oil-control/ the photos half way down show what I am talking about.

I was planing on just welding the port on the bitten of the head were the oil exits and grub screwing the solenoid hole from what I understand the cam bearings will still get oil from the head it just won't be able to get out the bottom if that makes sense

Well if it was me I would be checking tht after you weld it it does actually get oil supplied to the front bearing, easy to do with some compressed air. An easy check to prevent a serious problem, and if it doesnt get lube drill out the plug like in the thread, easy fixed!

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
