Hi guys

In the process of putting together a 2530 and just trying to make sense of some of the info in the oil restriction table. I want to retain my VCT. I will be using an N1 oil pump and RB25DET head (circuit/drift application) so according to the table, ill be blocking off the front feed and inserting a 1mm restrictor in the rear feed in the rb30 block. My question is, what is it referring to when it states to leave the VVT supply?

Theres obviously no provision for a restrictor in an RB30 block for oil supply to VCT so i was a bit confused. I still haven't decided whether i want to do an external oil feed to VCT or the brass plug mod on the front of the head. But once i chose, that'll be it to ensure function of my VCT aside from welding up the oil feed in the head, yea?

The VCT oil feed returns via the head, so it is effectively a head oil supply as well, remembering the purpose of the table is to prevent high flow oil pumps filling the head (and emptying the sump).

You will need an oil  supply for the VCT, I'm not familiar with the various options

I would recommend going for an external oil feed for the Variable Timing Control, I've tried the internal brass plug way and it wasn't pressurising the VTC enough.  I had a new plug CNC'd with the correct hole sizes and it still didn't work, external worked perfectly.

Appreciate the feedback guys. External vct oil feed it is then. 

In regards to the oil restrictor table, that would count as "leaving" the vct supply, correct?

So i can follow it as recommend and block the front/ insert 1mm in rear?

99% sure from memory that's what I did but might have gone for a 1.2mm restrictor with a 26 pump.

      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.
