dude, look to your left and you will see a key marked "Caps Lock" :thumbsup:

Anywhoo, with only 2 litres of oil left, I would say you have a fairly knackered engine. Unfortunately this is common with a turbo charged car that hasn't been cherished it's entire life. Try a compression test, and then do it again with about 10-15ml of oil in each cylinder. If it gets better the second time it is your piston rings, if it doesn't it is probably a dropped valve. Either way, it will make you a sad panda.

The oil resivior on the drivers side of the cargo area is the ATESSA resivior. It feeds oil to the ATESSA pump located just above the rear diff. Treat it just like an auto trans fill point (same fluid even) and it will be fine. Whatever you do, DO NOT let it run dry. That will make you a suicidal panda.

Any other questions, try using the search function at the bottom of the page before you post it - chances are its been asked and answered before.

Oh, and welcome!

      Rb26/30 build

      By lilley's gtr · Posted

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      Nismo rear spats

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

      Nismo rear spats

      That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

      Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
