8litres of oil!! sh1t. maybe is a 4 cylinder and the other two bores are for oil storage...

seriously though, why so much capacity and why does it gets so hot. even when pounding my GTR round the track with the oil cooler and a measly ~6litre system capacity it only gets to around 90degrees. water temp gets to ~82.

does it have a big arse sump?

Install an oil cooler Kabab.

There's your answer. Oil cooler makes a big difference in oil temps.

There's a fair bit of difference between your engine and Kabab's engine :P I don't think they're really comparable. The difference in heat that an RB26 generates between 230awkw/250rwkw (yours) and 320awkw (kabab's) is MASSIVE.

There's no cooling problem, other than the need for an oil cooler. It's a well known fact that RB26 heads have a major problem with heat dissipation. Just ask Mario, he knows all about it :);) ;)

John quoted me for 8L :squint:

He charged me for 2x 5L bottles of Castrol, and gave me the remainder of the oil from the second bottle that he didn't use. I think I still may have some left over in the garage somewhere...

Castrol Forumla R 10w60 is what they use in all their big HP engines, including Mario's sh1tbucket, so I deemed it adequate for the purple di1do.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
