Howdy,

I have an RB25DE NEO for my R31. I noticed the sump has been damaged.

What options do I have?

I read somewhere that all RB20, Rb25, RB26 and RB30 sumps should fit. Is this true ?

Is there differences in the various models? Im guessing the later models have better technologies, oil pickups, baffles etc.

I guess the best stock setup would be GTR sump with the front diff etc blocked off.

Unfortunatley I don't have heaps of cash laying around for an aftermarket one.

Thanks in advance

Brendan

Wouldnt bother with a gtr sump, like you said theres a diff you dont need and they arent the best design to start with (hence why theres trust extensions etc)

Any rb25 sump will do the trick, the r33 rb25 engines are a dime a dozen so it should be easy to pick one up for cheap.

Thanks for that.

Anyone know if an RB30 sump gasket is ok to use?

And whats the procedure to change it: I guess clean it, then put on the gasket with gasket sealant or just bare gasket by itself? One of my co-workers said to put a film of grease on the gasket but I don't know about that idea.

I have no idea about the rb30 sump fitting or not.

In terms of changing the gasket:

Use clean rag with some de-greaser/cleaner to clean around the area where gasket sits.

Put film of engine oil on the gasket (both sides) and bolt up the sump. Make sure you torque it to factory specs or elese you could buckle/distort the gasket if you over tighten.

Hope that helps.

I always sikaflex my sumps on. Clean the block and sump with metho/thinners, nice big bead of sikaflex and bolt up.

So you don't use a gasket? Sounds good if you don't need one.

I already have an RB30 gasket so I might as well use it.

Message me if you have a spare sump.

The 4wd sump will not line up with the bottom end on any rear wheel block. (totally different shape)

So your going to have to buy a sump off a rear wheel anywaysss.

I guess the best bet for fitting a gasket is use manufacturers instructions.

The ACL one I have for an RB30 says to clean both surfaces then put the gasket on, oil the bolt threads and under the bolt head.

Then tighten to car manufacturers specs.

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
