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..

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:

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
