hahah me too, I really like how you can see the fender brace through the vent also with the little brand sticker. That's awesome. One day I hope my CA gets at least half as badass as this thing

Bump for updates

shogun! · 08-30-2013, 04:13 PM

A few pictures. Not the latest but they'll give you an idea

sleepyS14se · 11-18-2013, 12:24 PM

this thread needs to be cleaned up and get the pics back up

shogun! · 11-18-2013, 12:43 PM

I agree with you on that one pal. It will take some massive work to do it (find the original pictures and put them back in the correct order).

shogun! · 11-30-2013, 10:12 AM

It has seen the daylight

shogun! · 01-05-2014, 07:54 AM

Remains hinged baffles, cleaning and painting

enderr · 01-05-2014, 10:05 AM

Been waiting awhile to see this build

shogun! · 01-05-2014, 12:26 PM

I am about to decide between a couple of lid designs. A simple version like the S14 or a more thought over dito.

shogun! · 01-20-2014, 12:01 AM

I have now decided to make it similar to the pictures. The hinged trap doors will be adapted to the extended side wings. The function as in the youtube video.

My concern is what if trash gets caught in the baffled area? There is no way for it to be drained now....

juvi22003 · 01-20-2014, 09:26 AM

So clean....love it !

Good point. An extra magnetic drainage plug inside the baffled area will handle that.

Theoretically, trash is heavy and will be going to the low point anyway, which is the drain plug. Safest bet is to not get trash in there in the first place.

Kit isn't my cup of tea, but to see a CA pushing that power is epic

This is true but as he designed it the baffled section wasn't tied into the drain plug area. An additional drain plug, as he suggested, in the baffled area, will alleviate all concerns of picking up any sort of trash.

sleepyS14se · 01-24-2014, 01:58 PM

i think the oil pan design is excellent.

Thanks mate.
It is more or less what is possible to fit between the front subframe and the sway bar without going deeper (not an option due to ride height).

Yes. This is correct.
One drain for the inside area and another for the outside area.

We managed to rescue the pictures with the help of a backup of the picture host.
Almost all (ca 1600) pics are restored and this thread is alive again

A check valve is installed in the cylinder block of the ca18det. This valve is a part of the oil lubrication system and is easily neglected when the motor is refurbished.

The Check valve is located in the block between the 3rd and 4th cylinder. You have to remove the cylinder head to access the valve. In the picture you spot a triangular/oval shaped cutout in the head gasket, slightly upwards to the left of no 4 head stud a small hole is located. This is the exit hole of the check valve. The purpose of the check valve is to maintain pressurised oil in the hydraulic valve lifter channels.

When cleaning my engine block I flushed it wit hot pressurised water and dried it with compressed air and an air gun. Extra care was taken to flush the oil channels from both directions. From oil pump towards head and vice versa. When flushing from the oil pump area, a thin powerful water spray came out of the hole in the check valve, In the other direction the valve blocked the water. A good sign of a fully operational check valve.

The pictures show:

1. Engine block with check valve installed.

2. Check valve removed

3. Check valve (broken).

4. If it is not possible to flush the oil channels direction from the oil pump towards the check valve, you have to remove the valve. The valve is hard to remove without destroying it. Nissan no longer store these check valves (part no 11036-D4200). If needed you have to ask a mechanical work shop to make one for you. You will need to bring the old valve and the engine block for them to measure and make it right.
