Baffled Sump by the look of it? I always liked the prospect of the HOR extended sump but I read its a pain in the ass and can only be fitted with the engine out. Lucky you're already there

Baffled but not gated, feeling a bit poor haha.. Yeah you "could" do it motor in but at that rate you might as well take the motor out.

Some progress tonight, I removed the crank. Some scoring on the bearings so might change all of them too

I was hoping on the conrod bearings needed changing but YOLO right? I still want to retain the standard NEO rods and NEO pistons because they said not to let the Nissan out *ahem* @GTSBoy, @Piggaz. Nissan hasn't been let out lol.

Oh hai! Looks the goods, sump was modified to suit the AWD motor going RED as the pick up sits more forward. Test fitting was spot on, I like very much - great success. 

Off to the machinist it goes, the silly crank.

Nissan is well and truly out now brah. You've contaminated it with Sydney air. Should be alright though. #RBLIFE4EVA

Still stock!!!

[GTSBoy]

The Nissan probably comes out after the first oil change.  All downhill form there!

And then...

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Crank at shop, but their machinist has buggered off overseas for 4x weeks!

Thinking if I should do connecting rod bolts too lol.

Still stock motor

[No Crust Racing]

Are stock bolts capable of 400rwkw? 

If no, then replace. 

Given the driving style I'd worry more about balance/harmonics/oil pump strength etc. 

Unless the rod bolts are a known weak point? 

Got a good balancer for it? 

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

derno, Matt Wooten & TIm Burt don't seem to have issues with stock oil pump, stock rod/bolts

[No Crust Racing]

There's your answer. 

Good balancers on those cars? 

[timmy_89]

Stock balancer. I also still have a stock sump too which is asking for trouble haha. Will fix that soon...hopefully lol.

Soooooo why did you pull it apart if these guys have been trucking along for years with the stock setup?

Good excuse to go 2j next time with twin scroll, twin gates etc.

I like seeing people push the boundaries/testing bits and pieces.

It's how we learn.

just to install the Spool oil pump gears and to install a new head gasket - that was it

May have gotten a tiny bit carried away with the headwork but that's just it.. everything else is just pretty stock

Actually had free time for a change, which I rarely do.. so decided to do some work on the siet bok rust bucket.

I always has an issue where the camber kept changing every track day and I had a feeling the OEM camber bolts were moving so I decided to deleted the bastard with this GKtech camber lock out kit. 

On removing the OEM camber bolts it was evident the machined groove and offset washer weren't working correctly, most likely slipping when I'm smashing into ripple strips. 

Man 60% of yhe arms are Hardrace lol.. bastard should sponsor me!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yeah cnuts! 

Removing those stupid machined screws are not fun, used those impact/hammer screw drivers and a bit of heat. I bashed the shit out of the pump like Pacquiao vs Horn and eventually all of them came out.

Yay, it's not broken but who cares we are going billet!

Result? Billet oil pump gears, hectics bro - can smash limiter all day like a JZ now!
