Here's the valve Brett asked as to what treatment you gave.

However you mentioned the filter retains oil so that tends to rule out the filter's drain back valve as well as this blocked filter by-pass valve.

Your problem seems more that the pump has to re-prime after a certain time has elapsed.

Can you go into more detail about the N1 oil pump build.

You'd be aware they have no non-return valve as such, simply relying on the porting and it is possible to install the gears facing the wrong way, which may upset the port clearances???

Now having said all that, 2-seconds isn't very long for the oil to pump up, but it certainly is annoying.

Hey Jiffo thanks for that.

I bought an OEM N1 oil pump from Nissan. I didn't modify the pump at all and using the original gears... I also didn't preprime the pump when I bought it because the Nissan guy said its already primed and it had caps on it which was holding in some sort of lubricant.

It terms of what Brett was referring to. I didn't block that valve. Do you recommend I block it?

It just hurts to hear my newly built engine rattle on startup lol. :(

No idea why Nissan fitted that valve as the oil filter has its own by-pass valve to allow for a blocked filter.

It's not on all Rb30's either. From my 3-blocks only 1-had the blocked filter valve, the others had a tapered plug hammered in.

It should have been removed when your block was originally tanked and cleaned.

Would be worth removing the filter and having a close look at whatever's in there.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
