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.

Yeah, but we drive our track cars are driven harder... Cause the real men are in NSW... :D

people run n1 pumps without issue too :D

that they do, and some people run unopened engines making good power for a long time without any trouble.

but seeing as this is about oil in the head i dont see the relevance...

Oil drain/vent is a bandaid for a bigger issue, therefore not fixing the problem or the be all, end all.

there are other ways to equalize the pressure venting the sump is one way, provided the correct restrictions and gallery mods were done.

like its been outlined in the already linked oil control thread

this can't be a spun bearing. haunted hills is in Vic.

Rather than start a flaming war with the southerners why don't we just send you back in time and relocate you to Victoria just before you bought your first RB26. :D

That should square the books then we can get talking about important things like which "atmo bov" or "I did a search and couldn't find anything...honest"

Well if you don't ask, you'll never know. I'd be talking to engine builders, and reading books, as forums are not always the answer...

Here's some oil management I used, and I've never blown up an RB in 6 years and 140,000kms of 400-480WHP, drags, track days x2 etc.

Overfill sump by over 1 litre every oil change.

Stock sump.

Tomei oil restrictor

catch can

r33 crank, forged pistons, rods, acl bearings etc

R33 GTR oil pump, with oil px reg shim

oil returns in head enlarged, you are meant to do the block too. (did a build thread years back)

oil cooler

proper oil pressure and temp gauges (stock oil px gauge does not react fast enough)

No rev limiter banging

Seems that continuous high rpm and high boost at tracks days is the hardest on RB's regarding oil staying in the head, and then collecting in catchcan.

I did build an engine over 2 years ago on my 32 that had a less than acceptable top compression ring gap to reduce blowby (gap too big), so part of that was my fault.

obviously you dont know alot about engines, you all seem to to be doing it the cheap and dodgey way by over filling it by a litre. For it to be done right why, dont you all put bigger sumps on or even better a dry sump

LOL.

We dont know anything??? but you do huh??...its that why you started a single sentence paragraph on what would happen if the bottom end ran dry of oil......and how to fix it....well you have been told by at least 10 people.

alright ill ask the question that no one has actually answered yet then. what sort of bigger sumps do you recommend? and where you have got them from? also what sort of price?

    • 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 . 
    • 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?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 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.
