I am going to summernats this year and was thinking about entering the burnout comp, I also would like to enter power cruise next year as well.

My question is, about the RB oil issues, I know there are problems with high revs and oil control but my question is, how about reving high for 2 minutes flat?

4th gear and 240km'h wheel spin at 6000 to 7000 rpm, I was thinking that it may be impossible without a dry sump setup and some serious oil returns.

Anyone have any ideas ? or should i just scrap the whole idea alltogether. I am not going to go with a dry sump setup, i just do not want to spend that kinda money when i will only really need it for burnouts.

I am a big burnout fan from years ago, I have won a few comps but back then the other cars are nothing compared to what I will be up against at these events.

So yeah I know its been covered before for track cars and street cars, but what about 6000rpm for 2 minutes flat. I will be spraying water over the radiator & oil cooler to keep the temps at acceptable levels.

I am running a N1 pump, so it would probly empty the sump completly after about 30 seconds or less

any ideas anyone?

Water spray on anything that makes heat, diff, gearbox radiator, oil cooler, intercooler, just do some ghetto setup with irrigation sprayers, $100 spent here could easily save $$$$'s Hope you have an oil temp gauge.

Once the tires are spinning you are not full throttle, right? it isn't the revs, it is the amount of continuous power output that generates heat.

7000 rpm at average 1/3 throttle is not the same as 7000 rpm wide open throttle.

and aren't the rb oil issues mostly related to g-forces? the trust sump is big to avoid oil starvation during high g, baffles in the sump

address the same issue.

Finally... something along the lines i am looking for... Yes your right there will be no g forces except for circle whips which won't be much.....

Maybe i just need extra cooling for the job ? i am thinking once the wheels are spinnning i won't need to be on full throttle and i should be able to drop the revs down to 5,500rpm or so....

interesting.. might chuck on some tyres and do some test runs to see how this car goes doing burnouts

did you put the oil restrictors in when you built your RB30?

PS. come out and say hi to the ACT people while you are down here :P

yeah i did, i am thinking i just need a bigger sump, and a little more oil with some cooling.

I will be down for there about 5 days so sure why not :D its going to be a big one this year because we will be there for NYE, whats to do in ACT on NYE ?

Lunch it in the quest for a burnout title and ill rebuild it for expenses only...Running Red R Racing decals on the car is a mandatory requirement. I have a big oil cooler you can borrow.

Give it to me and I garuantee you paul will get to honour his above mentioned commitement. :D:P:)

The oil restrictors should help a bit with the oil control, perhaps over fill it a bit and test out how the oil pressures go.

RE, NYE. not a massive number of options, if you want to stick with the "summernats" theme you could get drunk in civic and then watch the fireworks. (assuming you are staying north side) or you could visit fyshwick or mitchell for some "adult entertainment".

A lot of places actually close down during summernats as its quite a hassle dealing with all the drunks.

HELL YEAH!!!

I will hold you to this one mate.. i know where you are :P

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
