Only in the fact that it has to physically pump more oil around (extra oil in the lines etc) Personally I doubt an oil filter relocation kit would have enough effect to actually starve the head.

Edited by MintR33

wont affect anything. We use a truck oil filter thats about four times the size of the std skyline one and its got about 1m of line to it and then it goes to two oil coolers and back to the motor.

also what sump would i have to use to run in a s15?

That would depend on where you have the motor sit in the bay, best to install the motor without the sump, fabricate the mounts to suit, then see clearances to the cross member and sway bar etc

or have a chat to Fatz regarding what they did in his S13

I haven't used SolidWorks as such, but I used to work for an automotive R&D company and there I used SolidEdge - pretty much just a leaner version of SW :) At the moment I use microstation to do all my drawings whether they be .dwg or .dgn.

Waiting for my N1 oil pump and bearings to arrive then my RB30 will be running again.. after xmas will probably see a GT35R get bolted on :huh:

I'm just about to get the cams sorted from Tighe cams for mysetup.

I've been recommended by both my tuner and Tighe cams to go the 265/265 in/exh.

My only small concern is will the 265/265's lope over noticeably on idle? A mate has the 254/254 cams and the idle is baby smooth; the note did change slightly but there is no lope.

If the 265/265's do lope would the 254/265 setup smooth the idle?

I wouldn't mind a slight lope but I've been you tubing SR20's (same bore stroke) with 264 cams and they lope over like bridgy's. :S

All though the SR's do run a LOT more lift that I will be running (8.9mm).

The cams are hydraulic so no doubt slightly reduced ramp rate which may also smooth idle slightly compared to rb26 solid cams.

Any guesstimates based on sort of similiar experience? :S

Considering the cams you are running at the moment, either setup will be a vast improvement. Being that you aren't running a huge turbo, the power difference of the 264 inlet cam over the 254, i wouldnt expect to see an extra 20rwkw between the two. Its all up to you, but considering you are almost at the limit of streetable 2wd power, i would go the smaller inlet, to maintain the low rpm torque, and idle quality, but its all trial and error.

Cheers Adriano,

I do plan on dropping a GT35r .8 on it at a later date once I push the limit of the GT30.

As Uni is now all done with and I'm working I have a fair bit more $$ to throw at the car and have some fun with it down at Mallala. So it will be primarily a car I race down at the track. Similar to the Troymeister but I'd still like it to idle 'ok' so it doesn't attract too much attention. :(

I'm hoping some one has played with 265 cams in a hydraulic head and the RB30. ;)

this vid is of a 33 gtst i've help built this year. its a built rb25, solid lifter head, 260/9.15 cams, big port work both sides, os valves on the exhaust side. its just sounds pure porn at ilde (~900rpm), and u should hear it on full noise ;) *creams pants*

Sounds very very nice. I've replayed it over and over and over. I could listen to it all day. lol.

All though partially due to the solid lifter setup. Hydraulic cams sound much smoother. :) A good thing for not being defected though. ;)

Cheers Shane. :(

i know myself and the owner dont get sick of it hahaha

they can be turned so its not as 'raspy' on idle, but then there goes hp, and who wants to do that? :(

he's running a 35r with the .82 rear, and power tips over at 8000rpm (although 1 silicon joiner is sucking closed at high rpm so that could be playing a part in that) so i reckon something closer to 270deg would be ideal on an rb30 with the 35r

How many ponies did it produce?

You could try sourcing a set of A'PEXi 270 degree cams, pretty sure these retain the hydraulic lifter setup... from memory they run 9.0mm lift.

The downside is they went out of production some time ago so Yahoo auctions may be the best bet...

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
