32 Gtr. Oil Control

[bloodzkull]

ok so here's the thing. starting to need to do the whole oil problem thing in my gtr. and i'm not going to ask what i do cause i searched for all that stuff.

but

is it an engine out job to put the trust sump extension on. can i get away without running the external feed from the back of the head if i do the sump and the restrictor in the head? is it an engine out job for the external feed? i would imagine head off (need to happen anyway)

just trying to organise what to do.

cheers, stephen

yeah you need to tap the back of the head for the external return. and if you tap the sump for the other you really should have it off too.

yes it is engine out to change the sump. (well it may be possible but you would need to take the subframe off, support the motor in the engine bay and take the flywheel off to get at the rear main seal bolts)

well bugger. looks like i am putting away a bit more than i had hoped for. but i suppose it's all in the fun of owning a gtr

well i suppose no more first gear fun.

i was thinking about fixing all the oil problems in my GTR as well but ive changed my mind

im gonna wack on this T04Z and enjoy it when it blow's up then ill take the motor out and rebuild it all in 1 go

[bloodzkull]

i would like to do that. but i don't really have the cash lying around for it. well i could scrounge it up but it's for other fun things.

could possible be pretty quick to blow. there is another gtr in the mechanic that i use. blew his motor i am guessing partly because of oil issues and partly because he thought it was ok to run 25psi through a standard motor. and frequently swing it to redline on a cold motor.

oh well looks like i might be putting a bit more money aside. taking the motor out and doing the sump+restrictor+external oil feed. and of course a minor port+polish and a set of cams while the head's off
