GREAT ADVICE!!!Just to share: How not to blow RB26. I blast my RB26 hard...when i say hard, i really mean damn hard...
since 2005, engine is very healthy, compression spot on... the secret is:
1) frequent oil/filter change - i don't follow the 5k intervals, it depends on how rough it was driven at any point of time
2) Never over-rev (use ignition cut instead of factory fuel cut = safer)
3) Prep/warm the oil fully before a hard drive (above 80deg)
4) Aware of Knocks/Pings
4) Aware of oil temp
5) Aware of oil press
6) EGT....that's it, tht's the secret. HONESTLY
actually, its a strong engine if built well...
Gobiz, glad to hear it's all good. So she will be in hibernation till you're back then. :)
Bro, is hard to tell that is a problem or not since we all know the stock GTR oil pressure sensor always doggy one. As long as when u driving, keep your eye on your oil press meter, when accelerate above 4k or higher rpm, your oil pressure should not less than middle(4 bar).Yes im totally agree with Rakzakzsa...and also the important thing to take care is the Oil engine. Last time im using Torco oil but I realize that the oil is thin and become lesser when regularly drive. So I do research what is the suitable oil for the GTR engine. And lots of GTR owner said that they are using castrol egde. So I did try the said oil and it’s proved. Till now im using the said oil...but recently I quite grotesque why my oil pressure is low. When I warm up the engine, supposedly the oil pressure indicator show at the middle of the meter but now one bar fall. Any idea or advise? Do your car have a same reading?
Not mean to digging out an out thread but are those oil pressure sensor on r34 are similar to r33,32? I assume those info in r34 are more accurate on r34?
Ppl just usually buy Z32 one. Cheaper I heard.Not mean to digging out an out thread but are those oil pressure sensor on r34 are similar to r33,32? I assume those info in r34 are more accurate on r34?
Actually I have the defi already lolget an aftermarket one lah kawtim. the defi triple dash like kyle's would be awesome.
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.
