R32 Sump Install Questions

[peggy]

Have a slipping clutch in a standard R32GTR. Planning to replace with a heavy duty single plate next week - (for future 300 RWKW/circuit work).

Was also going to get a larger/extended etc sump installed in the new year.

Question: Is it more economical to get them installed at the same time? Can the sump be installed with only the removal of the gearbox? or does the engine have to come out? Also, which aftermarket sump is recommended? Tomei? Trust? (extension?) (baffeled?)

Where to purchase in WA?

Cheers

I believe the baffled Trust extension is what most people use, needs to be welded in.

Sump off (especially in 4wd) is pretty much an engine out job. You might be able to save some labour if the box needs to come out too.

Most people use the Trust Sump extension with baffles (needs to be welded on standard sump)

Cheaper option is a Tomei sump baffle for the stock sump

otherwise you can go for custom setups like Hi-Octane or something

as for installation i have no idea

Trust extension is SHIT ..

Want this bad boy set up .. Oil change it takes 9ltrs

This is whats on our 32 , done by Advan performance in NSW .. Look at 3rd pic you see blue earls fitting . That is now plumbed from Advan catch can to sump with earls 1 way oil valve

trust sump extension and baffle kit is very good and good value for money

only problem you may have is it sits lower that xmember, but if you have decent suspension it does not matter... my car was low and i never had a issue with it touching the ground

i have the imports 101 kit, i was going to get the trust one but didnt like how low they hang.. very happy with the imports 101 kit and good service too

think it was about $1100 supplied and welded to the standard sump

The price is on the site, 500ish to buy i think, The kit is designed for the street and track.

i think my greddy cost around $500 welded to the standard sump and ready to go...

double the price is a bit steep

Pics of how your sump sits ???

Looks much the same as the Advan one, Very much more complex than the more basic Trust sump inc the trick Baffles.

There is a Cylinder head drain option also.

Just wondering do you have to upgrade your stock oil pump if you get a bigger/baffled sump extension kit fitted??

[peggy]

Thanks for replies so far - but can the sump be extended/replaced with the above mentioned products/extensions without removing the engine or gearbox? or can it just be done removing the gearbox?

(As mentioned previously, have to replace clutch, so will also modify/replace sump if it can be done with just the gearbox out).

If can be done without removing either - happy days..........I will get it done later, and just replace the clutch now.

(nothing more frustrating then having a GTR with a slipping clutch!)

I have removed the Sump without removing the engine but its not really any easier than removing the engine. Stock pump is ok with bigger sump but the pump is a weak link.

Imports/Garage101 have a billet Oil pump gearset upgrade now.

Thanks.

So - according to above, gearbox removal is irrelevent to sump replacment/modification?

[Sloane]

just an update on this.

im gonna get a N1 oil pump for my BNR32 and was wondering what is recommnded for a Sump Extension

Trust?

Tomei? etc...

Cheers

sorry havent got any pics of how it sits, but its pretty much exactly the same as that advan one.. the rear head drain is a standard fitting on the sump - 10 i think. i had no intention of using a rear head drain so i have it plugged up.

comparing this to the trust extension is not fair.. these are a work of art once fitted and and sitting behind the kframe in a nice safe place is where the extra $350 is, not to mention the extra oil they hold compared to the trust jobby

Some fitting prices is mates rates so if you don't have a Mate that can do 1st class Tig Welding then you need to pay.
