[NYTSKY]

Its a spare Nitto I-beam

Dave - got anymore pics of how the lines plum into the front of the oil pump and what you did with the oil filter thingo

[NYTSKY]

Ill see if i can get more pics.

Probably sucking from the sump and then feeding into the front of the main oil gallery that the pump would. Then oil flow can just continue as per normal. Looks like a good setup! Just make sure you get some anti run off guides for the pulleys to keep the belt from ever jumping/running off.

Yeah I was thinking this too. Looking at the pump pulley and thinking it looked weird, then noticed the belt could potentially just slip off. LOL

what are the main advantages of an external pump?

[NYTSKY]

It looks tough

[TiTAN]

he can also bash it off the limiter as much as he likes without any fear of breaking the oil pump gears.

There really are only pro's for having one. Who needs or wants air con anyway?

we live in australia where it regularly gets to 35c for weeks on end, who on earth can drive around in traffic without it? I guess if you have no issue rocking up with sweat patches over your entire upper body to work it isn't a real issue though.

Sif drive your Skyline to work, that's what motorbikes are for

[Trozzle]

Or ride your fat ass to work on a pushy, 10 minutes of down hill and I'm locking my bike up out the front.

2x windows down and sunroof open is more than enough..

i havent had AC for years. you learn to live without it.

[Trozzle]

I barely use the bloody thing. Only ever hit the AC button to demist windscreen or to make sure the bloody seals in the pump didn't get stuck and die.

Now that I've had issues with the ViPEC never letting me turn it off, I've taken the solenoid out for the pump anyway lol

I guess the aircon is a problem for alot of people who are used to modern day comforts.

However, if you are building a wild car/engine, such as the one in this thread then its really not that important. Having a near bulletproof oiling system that can handle stupid amounts of abuse is

[N1GTR]

There are kits available that keeps aircon. I forget who makes them though

No way will I go without ac

Huge power and all the modcons = perfect setup

Enjoy your sweatboxes guys
