Default Oil surge

I've searched and it seems that no one has answered this before...

Wondering how the standard oil system hold up with cornering, specifically, i'm looking at oil surge/starvation during track work. Specifically circuit stuff/road courses.

I have a HR, I plan on running an Accusump, I also have an oil spacer but standard sump pan. Looking at a pan from GTM and adding some extra baffles.

Just interested in hearing from anyone experiences and increasing my knowledge in this area. If it was an RB i'd know what to do, I'm new to HR hence my questions.

Thanks

Using an Accusump should be enough...(and a BIG Oil Cooler)

I've raced an HR in a 350Z T2 car over the past four years and never had a problem with oil starvation. Even high-speed, banked turns don't create enough G-forces to starve the motor using the OEM oiling system. So I concur: an Accusump is more than enough. I would highly recommend adding an oil cooler to your system, however.
