A friend of mine mentioned the acumulator too , I would be concerned about air leaks etc . Theres a lot of money and inconvienence riding on it working correctly and for long enough . I guess if your competing seriously and had the engine in bits I reckon the correct sump is the way to go .

That smashed engine I saw had a modified sump and I think pick up but I don't recall seeing the trap doors .

As food for thought the owner of that car sold it and the current owner has lost another two or three engines (not sure if its surge related) , so for my money I'd insist on the most reliable lubrication system I could get .

Incidentally that sump was removed and re fitted from underneath which may or maynot have been easier than removing the engine to get at it .

Cheers A .

Ok guys, so you both make em... got any links? PM with price and how to find out more info  :D

*points to link in signature for proengines*

I was putting a Tomei sump baffle in my car, but as soon as I saw Greg's (proengines) baffles I immediately went with those. Bigger trapdoors than any other baffle I have seen, and there is no way oil can escape from the pickup undr hard cornering and acceleration/braking.

Now I am curious as to wether or not this extra oil return from the back of the head can be done without pulling the engine (I think im dreaming...).

Since this thread started i've been on 3 track days, about to go on a 4th... standard RB26 engine internals/sump.. std turbos, oil cooler with remote oil filter... only running on road rubber and haven't had any trouble yet *touch wood*... the biggest thing i'm worried about is my turbos letting go and embedding into my pistons.

clicked on that link and get:

may want to look into that... :rofl:

oops... it's worth updating those credit card details when you get a new card..

the sites there now.

gday guys, now im in the same boat, i have spun a bottem end bearing. just after a bit of heap with my rebuild.

now i dont really want to add a sump extension. but i was goin to put an N1 oil pump and tomei block restrictor and r33 gt-r crank and maybe N1 harmonic balancer. will this help with the oil problems?

also would it be worth also putting sump and rocket cover baffles in?

im chasing 300-400 4wkw's in the long run. im at 205 4wkw's so a little bit to go. willremote oil filter and oil cooler benifit me? im not after track usage, more for the 400m sprint.

cheers guys

also would it be worth also putting sump and rocket cover baffles in?

Yes it would definately be worth putting in sump baffles while its all apart. Pro Engines (www.proengines.com.au) can provide you with a JUN copy, without the attatched JUN price tag. Its for the standard capacity sump, has huge metal trapdoors on light hinges to keep as much oil as possible around the pickup, very well designed and quite a few cars using them without any problems.

heres a free tip that WORKS: you need to fill the oil up to about 0.5cm above the hump on the didstick

prettymuch an extra 1.7-litres over full.

i tested this im my r32gtr at wakfield with a mechanicl oil pressure guage and after a whole day of trackwork shes still good. not a smidgen of oil surge.

cheeres :lol:

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
