Here's the valve Brett asked as to what treatment you gave.

However you mentioned the filter retains oil so that tends to rule out the filter's drain back valve as well as this blocked filter by-pass valve.

Your problem seems more that the pump has to re-prime after a certain time has elapsed.

Can you go into more detail about the N1 oil pump build.

You'd be aware they have no non-return valve as such, simply relying on the porting and it is possible to install the gears facing the wrong way, which may upset the port clearances???

Now having said all that, 2-seconds isn't very long for the oil to pump up, but it certainly is annoying.

Hey Jiffo thanks for that.

I bought an OEM N1 oil pump from Nissan. I didn't modify the pump at all and using the original gears... I also didn't preprime the pump when I bought it because the Nissan guy said its already primed and it had caps on it which was holding in some sort of lubricant.

It terms of what Brett was referring to. I didn't block that valve. Do you recommend I block it?

It just hurts to hear my newly built engine rattle on startup lol. :(

No idea why Nissan fitted that valve as the oil filter has its own by-pass valve to allow for a blocked filter.

It's not on all Rb30's either. From my 3-blocks only 1-had the blocked filter valve, the others had a tapered plug hammered in.

It should have been removed when your block was originally tanked and cleaned.

Would be worth removing the filter and having a close look at whatever's in there.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
