3rd Morwell Drift day - 15th January 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mates of mine have held 2 so far and their 3rd drift day will be Saturday the 15th of Jan 2005. Morwell is around 90 mins to 2 hrs from Melbourne and we had great city patronage last time so it's a nice cruise and a great day out.

Drivers wanting to participate will need to get in early this time. A $70 entry fee applies plus $25 club membership if you haven't entered before. Registration is necessary. Spectators $5 a pop. Pies, hot dogs, drinks, etc available.

One of the organisers, Mark, came 3rd at the recent Calder meet in his R33 so there will be some great drifting being put on.

Contact Chelsea on 0409337343 or Ross on 0409809143 for details and registration.

You can also PM me.

Thanks :P

    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
