Cheers for the lesson. Didn't realise that 1.1mm and 1.2mm where very close in size..

The reason I asked is cause the chart listed early stated 1.25mm for street, 1mm for drag/circut.

I plan on doing all 3 of the above tasks and thought a 1.1mm was a good inbetween spot but wasn't sure if a 1.1mm restrictor would cause any issue's on the street.

I have a 1.1mm and a 1.2mm sitting in front of me.

Some of these things are calculated. You can't just feel like a number inbetween is good.

Whoops, yes i did mean catch can, corrected it now. Yes i understand that now. The two goals are to reduce the amount of oil entering the head, and equalize crankcase pressure. The oiling issue is s

less thinking more doing shit that works in the getto Dash ten on pasengers side Two dash 12 on the drivers side, angles and spaced so as not to hit shit and be able to tighten the f**ker up note

I ran my set up right up to 8800rpm at 2 bar (740rwhp) around the track with sticky R-comps the other night and not a drop out of the catch can. This is with no oil restrictors to the head and a stoc

Depends how pedantic about it you want to get, you can sit down and work out your tolerances and intended oil viscousity and oil pump flow and pressures etc etc, then intended use for the car and then after all that just whack the 1.2mm in there lol

I have a nitto pump and use 10W40 with relatively tight tolerances and have two 1mm restrictors in the RB2630 and use the car for whatever is goin on :)

Is your larger sump suitably baffled and gated? Accusump is not a bandaid in my view but a valid solution - but it costs a bit and takes up room.

Ive got the Same problem with My 34.

Under Hard braking aswell. Pressure drops to about 20 psi with the rpm still around 4.5k

Only has a stock sump , but most of the aftermarket sumps only really allow for oil surge during cornering

What Brand of sump are you using

I use an ASR sump... Its only the street/race version not the full race (Not 100% sure what the difference is)...

Oil pressure is fine belting around corners and bouncing off ripple strips etc, its just under brakes...

Its dropping below 20psi and it regains as soon as throttle is applied.

The last track day at SMSP South did not have the issue but i assume that is due to the lower speed of the track which doesnt require braking as hard...

Been looking to get a proper circuit sump for my rb2630 for awhile... I don't mind spending the money but I want to get the best one. One that fits with the white line sway bar that's already in the front of the car(and rear).

I would like to get asr but it's not good to read they don't fit and hit swaybars and/or need to be modified when they arrive. Then it's not good to read they don't actually prevent the oil pressure dropping under braking.

Does rips do one that works?

If it was for a gtr motor I would contact racepace and get them to modify the stock alloy sump as they do for the gtr's. Does anyone know if they will modify a tin sump to proper specs?

I've been tempted to run it with the stock sump but I don't really want to do that

Tbh, mine has rubbed on the swaybay and i was going to look at alternatives when the engine comes out next...

I was annoyed when i first went to Wakie and saw the problem. The car has now done 5 full track days and is still kicking which is a good thing.

The Accusump is a good fix but if the setup is designed right from the get go there shouldn't be anything to fix, I went through the data logging from SMSP last Monday and I have no drops of oil pressure at any point, fuel temp on the other hand got very out of control most likely the cause of it breaking down after a few laps :(

Fuel temp should be sweet on mine as i have the cooler setup... Oil pressure, well ill monitor it and fix it if it causes me a hassle.

Haha, unfortunately that didn't work for me twice now :( so data log check everything as I go :)

Mat, what fuel cooler setup have you got cause I'm goons have to do one and maybe so will as he was having the same issue as me

All you really need is a transmission cooler or similar with pipe size through it approx the same diameter as your fuel return line. Best sort of location would probably be near the back of the car just before the tank return, and you might need to consider ducting some air to it from a scoop under the floor. I would do this rather than locating it at the front of the car for fear of opening a fuel leak during a front end collision.

You can buy dedicated fuel coolers, but I'd experiment with something nearly free first.

I just don't look at the gauges and hope for the best. It seems to have worked for the last 2 years.

Been trying that, so far so good :P

Just a custom setup made by JEM... There are pics in my build thread somewhere :)

Ok sweet, I'll have a run through and see if I can see it :)

I've been looking into tranny coolers but finding one to suit the -8 lines is proving difficult as they all seem to neck down to 3/8ths, otherwise yeah am planning on putting it at the back so it gets protected by the rear diffuser

Thanks for the reply, I'm still not sure which is the best racing sump to buy though. What proven alternatives are there to asr? Is it too much to ask for one that fits and works

Going off a few threads (eg. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266179-high-energy-sump/page-3) I've read before and will read again probably I think I'll contact asr and lewis engine and see if they can send me some pics etc. it's only for a basic rebuilt 2630 with -5 turbos running about 1 bar boost but I'd still like something that will work and keep the engine alive.

Ok since I'm running a single turbo and have the original rear turbo drain fitting on the block, blocked off, I've noticed afew people run a hose from that rear turbo drain up to the cam cover fitting,

Would this act like a vent ? Is it worthwhile in helping the crankcase vent and help il drain quicker ?

      R34 power steering

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
