As i plan to really get to the track more in 2014 and get this nugget sorted so i can learn to drive it, we thought some oil control is in order as we all know RB's need it :P So even though it is still 100% stock motor and headgasket etc it now has a nice shiny sump -

As you can see in the image here the turbo elbow is now on the housing so that should get rid of that issue!

You'll still need to shield that silicon from the heat.

Get them to bend up a bit of heat shieldy stuff, and use some of the mounting points to cover the manifold. Even if you ceramic coat it.

Itll be wrapped and coated etc man! All over it :thumbsup:

Is that sump specially for Neos? I was measuring it up down there and it looked like the sway bar and some hardlines wont clear with the bigger sump.

I'm guessing your putting on a oil drain too behind your head.Going straight to the sump.

nice definitely a good aid to making these engine last a bit longer as stockers

Yep will hopefully prolong the life of the poor engine! Its had a hard life but at 150000km its still copping 25psi and 500+whp no worries... This sump will be able to stay with any engine i put in as it will always stay NEO so its a sound investment considering i want to be doing more track time.

The engine mounts were changed to a Hardrace item. Coolant sensor has been relocated to read correctly. Exhaust manifold has been wrapped & clutch plate was swapped to a solid item.

teh secks!

Still ah mazing it's the stock motor, yet people spend like $5K+ on built motors for the same effect

let's race bitch LOL

I'm waiting for my snail/paper weight to come

Yep, and that is why the build is staying where it is... I am happy with the way it goes (WHEN it fkn goes lol) and the motor seems to be happy enough to handle the given power so why build a motor? And if this motor lets go i will not be changing the plan, ill be finding another low milage donor and going again... I plan to use the car as much as i can and learn to drive it, SMSP South was my first chance and unfortunately a broken engine mount was causing me a lot of issues as you can see a few pages back! BUT sorted now so try again soon....

I got a few gremlins to iron out, but let's hit up wakefield for speed off the streets next year when you're free!

Fingers crossed i have found the last of them!

Will be keen for a few wakie days, just gotta work out time to do them as we are short staffed at work!

Hoping to try the car out locally if i can at SMSP or similar just to MAKE SURE there are no more surprises lol

hope so too!

my car now refuses to make any power past 6k rpm, I can't hear any audible knock or anything.. but being a remapped ECU I can't plug up any software to see what's going on (soon to change once I slap on the new turbo :) )

swapped out the spark plugs last night and was about to go for a drive and realised my fuarking license has been expired for nearly a week!

Come to one of the SMSP twilight track days early next year if you can get a few hours off work. I'm booked in for the 30/1 and the 26/2.

I like the look of that sump, jelly :)

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
