I'm releasing a fantastic new oil setup at the moment which is a hybrid dry/wet sump system.

Using a 9L fabricated sump, 2 stage pump and a "surge tank"

The single scavenge stage draws from the 9L sump and fills a 2.5L resiviour (surge tank) mounted inside the wheel arch or engine bay. The single pressure stage draws from the resiviour and pressurizes the engine.

From the top of the resiviour a return back to the sump allows the tank to breath and overflow.

Pro's

As good at controlling surge as a full on dry sump

Far cheaper than a dry sump

Less plumbing

External pump so no breakages!

Lower weight not having the large tank and lines

So far testing has been faultless with perfect oil pressure logs when running on slicks.

I've also just completed the first prototype resiviour to fit into the original space occupied by the washer bottle on the R32.

Do you have a set of baffles in the tank Brad? What capacity is the tank? Looking at the D.E. or Verdi pump with an air/oil separator the design of the tank can be a lot simpler which owes itself to

Ryan I have two Vehicles already doing some laps. One is an r32 GTR and the other is an r33 GTST RB25.

So far pricing is on a case by case basis as I'm insisting on doing the installation myself or atleast controlling it due to the nature of the setup not really having been done before.

Bracket, balancer, and drive kit are identical to dry dump parts. Sump is a modified version on my normal 9L sump, pump is a two stage and the surge tank is obviously custom.

Send me a email if your keen to get a quote and have one done.

Sorry to revive this excellent thread but one quick question

Is it still necessary to enlarge the block oil returns and restrict the block feed orifices when running dry sump setup?

Obviously enlarged returns will benefit no matter but if the engine is already assembled then how much off a disadvantage will it be on dry sump setup?

Thanks

I'd also like to know this.

Do I still need to run the restrictors in the block? Or will the vacuum in the engine be enough to suck the oil back down without any issues with the bigger head feeds.

I shot you an email also brad, haven't heard back yet, I understand your busy! see if you could look out for it. keen to get this sorted asap.

Also, I have seen many circuit cars run -12 and -10 lines for the dry sump, and then many run -12 and -16 lines.

Is it wrong to run the smaller lines? can it cause issues? or will it all work to an extent?

hey, being a noob to dry sump etc, the one thing i havent seen on here is where the pressure line is fed back into the block? doe it run through a cooler and into the block via the filter port???, and wat do u do with the stock pump? take the gears out and block it up or something like that? any info would be much appreciated

Theres another thread?

Referring the thread to Risking (Pro Fabrication) and why the previous poster should probably reconsider pursuing this avenue.

Edit: nm - beaten to it

      3D printing fun

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
