ey fellas

got a bit of an issue here i had an RB25DET in my r32 gtst-4 and now im putting the RB into a 180sx i took the 4wd sump off and bought a standard RB25 sump from jap parts plus.. When i wen to put it on this arvo nothing lined up the sump seemed to short which leads me to believe they have given me the wrong one

just wondering if anyone has any other possible ideas to why the so called standard sump doesnt line up with motor??

cheers

what would be the best suggestion im going on atm buying a rwd 25 bottom end and smashing the head off mine on it... or just buying a cheap 25 unless thesre is someone or some shop that possibly sells custom sumps...

You can always remove the front diff and mod your awd sump @ embleton or some other ally welder

if you want to go as far as swapping blocks then RB30 would be cheaper, more torque and theres a few rb30 modded sumps on the market

If you're going that far might aswell get a 30 bottom end and smash your 25 head onto that..

Pretty sure that's your answer to everything....

Lyell can you replace that light globe in the lounge room? "Yeah, I'll smash an RB30 up there" :D

LOL Nathan.. at least in this instance it's actually cheaper and better if he's considering swapping to a rwd block!

P.S. I was waiting for this :(

problem solved guys, was thinking of the 25/30 conversion but in the process of a hopeful/ succesful 26/30 build for my 32..

as i was removing the silicon from the bottom of the block i started digging up little 10mm thread holes in the block, once i cleaned the bottom of the block and changed the pick-up ad dropped the 25 sump on it all lined up, the guys who did the conversion on the car before i bought it muct of tapped out new holes for the 4wd sump and diff... all the stressing and all i had to do was clean it abit

thanks for the advice fellas have a good chrissy!

Second set holes are on all 4wd blocks . If your using tin sump how did you modify mount brackets for bottom row of bolts to hold box against block ??

Are you talking about the wings that bolt to the bottom of the bellhousing?

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
