I feel the same about my driving. In hindsight, regular sessions of maintaining high boost high rpm driving on MEX isn't the best way of preserving our engines. :stupid:[PIMPIN];1064065571 said:Don't drive like me. Confirm save your engine.
relating to blowing engines, ur a gone case bro. no fully built engines can withstand the might of [PIMPIN].[PIMPIN];1064065571 said:Don't drive like me. Confirm save your engine.
u pulak, it's the case of using stock oil pump. unless u drive like [PIMPIN], i don't think the way u drive would be able to blow an RB30 just like that.I feel the same about my driving.

LOL I missed the regularpart!u pulak, it's the case of using stock oil pump. unless u drive like [PIMPIN], i don't think the way u drive would be able to blow an RB30 just like that.
My Nissan standard oilpump is actually FINE! :proud:u pulak, it's the case of using stock oil pump. unless u drive like [PIMPIN], i don't think the way u drive would be able to blow an RB30 just like that.
Yes, agreed.[PIMPIN];1064066128 said:LOL I missed the regularpart!
Actually the weakness of the stock oil pump has been exaggerated because they aren't that weak. It took me a long time to blow an engine due to stock oil pump failing and even my recent efforts on Sepang no less did not kill the oil pump and over 8000rpm was something I do a lot on the street on a regular basis as it is.
It was sustained high revs over an extended period that killed my oil pump and we're talking outstation drives, constantly maintaining a high speed not a brief flirtation with the limiter once in awhile.

Sifus, so changing the stock oil pan to extended oil sump is more vital than changing the oil pump + doing crank collar in this case? i'm in the middle of trying to figure out what the first thing i need to do on my stock 26 to reduce the risk of oiling problem.[PIMPIN];1064066341 said:Actually the Zed with the RB30 blew because the car went out on track with less than usual engine oil so it was a gamble and a mistake to begin with - would have killed any engine in those circumstances not just an RB.
But a sump baffle is cheap insurance to begin with if anyone wants to track the car regularly or is addicted to fast Sunday morning runs up mountain roads with high speed corners etc. Ideally one would have an extended sump fitted since the sump baffle plate on its own would be a waste of labour costs. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.
That's not quite what I was getting at. It's best to have both if budget allows for it because even with a better oil pump, the amount of oil the stock sump can support leaves much room for improvement.Sifus, so changing the stock oil pan to extended oil sump is more vital than changing the oil pump + doing crank collar in this case? i'm in the middle of trying to figure out what the first thing i need to do on my stock 26 to reduce the risk of oiling problem.
