Is This A Stock Rb26 Sump?

I recently purchased an RB26 powered Silvia in Japan and it won't be here for a while yet but I'm just trying to gather some more information on it before it gets here. I'm not very familiar with RBs as I've spent many wasted years toying with SRs. The engine is supposedly fully built and I noticed on this photo the sump seems to be quite deep. Is this stock? If not any idea what make it is? If so what are the modifications needed to be carried out on a stock sump to handle big power? Baffles etc?

That a shame, I thought it looked way to deep to be factory. Unfortunately its the only undercar pic of the sump I was given. I won't have more pics for another month or so when it gets chopped in half and put in a container!

Is the stock sump sufficient or do people change to aftermarket?

depends on what your doing with it, if your a drifter you will need to play with a few things. streeter ect should be sweet.

id be more worriwed about why it has no front sway bar :down: in s13 you need to notch the front of the std 26 sump to clear the sway bar.... on some dodgy conversions ive seen they just take the sway bar off :)

yeah thats a gtr sump alright and looking at the rest of the sub frame with those hydralic hoses running across the front of the sump id say the entire lot is off a gtr as it would have the wider wheel track, pumped, vented gaurds etc, with the rear hicus plumbed back into the resoviour... typical conversion. then all they do is spacer the rear hubs and flare the gaurds to match the front.. you should be ok sr20dets are similar just missing two cylinders and an extra turbo.

Yes it will be put into a drift car. What needs to be played with? What sump is Cat's car running? Baffles? Pickup?

I also noticed the swaybar issue.... the car has twin highmount TD05s (for sale when it gets here!) so I'm guessing it may have been used for drag or something. Again what swaybar is Cat's car running?

If your suggesting they've converted it to 4wd they havn't. Its running a R33 gearbox and theres definitely no front driveshafts. From other pics those hoses in front of the sump seem to be for the power steering reservoir which they have moved to the other side of the engine bay.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
