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.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
