just wondering how many of you out there this has happened to and how much damage you have done. the story goes first day at the track (haunted hills hill climb) get a good couple of pratice laps in then what we think at this point in time and after reading its a big end bearing wont know until we pull the engine out but yeah were pretty sure it has got oil in the head and run out of oil down the bottom from the car and the movement on the track and high revs. just wondering what you have done and what sumps everyone has used. i will be puttin one of those things on the back of the head to get the oil out but just wondering the best sump and where you have got them from and sort of price. also is the rev limiter bein set at 8 and a half to much revs

thanks

I think it's the severe lack of punctuation.

It's hard to help you out when no one understands what you're asking.

Bingo bingo and bingo.

I went to all the trouble of doing the rear drain on cats car then tested it on the dyno..... even with it disconnected and running 7500 for close to 15sec (don't recommend this unless you own it :blink: ) is still stayed dry...

no it wasnt over filled by a litre

Well that’s your first problem. A big no-no.

acl bearings, cp pistons, ported and flowed head, n1 oil pump

This sounds like the second…

What oil control/restriction mods were done as a part of the rebuild?

I’m gonna take another ‘wild’ guess and say none?

Realistically you don't need a sump if you've done everything else correctly for that level of setup.

Plenty of people before you have been totally fine.

Not one circuit GTR down here has one.

If everything is done right with block restrictions and so forth, then you don't need it.

If you did a list of people with them, and then without... it would be extremely one sided.

not everyone, just everyone that only reads one side to the oil control in RB thread

and not to say it doesnt work, just doesnt work the way people think it does

but the ones trying to disprove its function only claim how it works in what they have seen on the dyno

how can it be tested on a dyno when it is not subject to the same g forces being placed on the car like it would be if it was at the track

that and the fact that they dont use them and dont have issues,

maybe there should be one at the front of the head, so under heavy breaking all the oil rushes into the sump :D

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
