NITTO R34 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Because 800hp and 10.3 sec means ridiculous amounts of g's. It's a common problem mate do a search. In mine with 450hp anything less than 6l it surges. Did you read this: "Up until 1 month ago, it had standard sump with the oil just filled to the top line on the dipstick, as you would with any car. When we changed the diff ratios, we installed a 9L sump and again filled it to the top line of the dipstick. WE HAVE NEVER OVER FILLED THE ENGINE WITH OIL!" - from Trent @ Mercury Motorsport.

In mine with 450hp anything less than 6l it surges. Yea I don't think it's really a problem in a straight line mate, you mite have pump issues or running a oil that's too thin.

NYTSKY Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 At these power levels a bigger sump is also needed because catch cans get filled rather quickly Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/411489-500kw-club/page/4/#findComment-6655573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Motorsport Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The breather setup on Nitto is very well thought out. It has catch can to sump drains, block vents to catch cans, block restrictors etc all to vent pressure and ensure that the oil stays in the sump.

Deano 1 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Just filled to the line, I fill it to the hump when i change my oil for trackdays. But general cruising round filled to the line, it takes around 6L because of the oil filter relocation kit and oil cooler, which is emptyed out each oil change.
