8litres of oil!! sh1t. maybe is a 4 cylinder and the other two bores are for oil storage...

seriously though, why so much capacity and why does it gets so hot. even when pounding my GTR round the track with the oil cooler and a measly ~6litre system capacity it only gets to around 90degrees. water temp gets to ~82.

does it have a big arse sump?

Install an oil cooler Kabab.

There's your answer. Oil cooler makes a big difference in oil temps.

There's a fair bit of difference between your engine and Kabab's engine :P I don't think they're really comparable. The difference in heat that an RB26 generates between 230awkw/250rwkw (yours) and 320awkw (kabab's) is MASSIVE.

There's no cooling problem, other than the need for an oil cooler. It's a well known fact that RB26 heads have a major problem with heat dissipation. Just ask Mario, he knows all about it :);) ;)

John quoted me for 8L :squint:

He charged me for 2x 5L bottles of Castrol, and gave me the remainder of the oil from the second bottle that he didn't use. I think I still may have some left over in the garage somewhere...

Castrol Forumla R 10w60 is what they use in all their big HP engines, including Mario's sh1tbucket, so I deemed it adequate for the purple di1do.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
