As the topic states. I can remember seeing them a while ago on hioctane.com but can't find them anymore. It was a plate that allowed you to use a rwd sump on the rb26 block. This would have been perfect for my planned application of a 26 in a 32 gts-t, but if they don't exist anymore then i'll have to find another way. Has anybody else seen them/know what i'm on about? Or did i just dream it up?

Cheers

Yea the 26 block has the holes that allow you to bolt a 20/25 sump pan on there but you have to fiddle with the pick up as it hits the baffles and a little to the front of the sump itself

Use the 26 sump and get it modded

I've got an rb26 sump modified for rwd if your interested. They can be a pain to modify due to steering rack clearance on the drivers side, and they tend to change shape if you don't bolt them to a block while welding.

yeah interesting. Only reason i wanted to use the adapter and a rwd sump was it would have been cheaper to put a high volume sump on, compared to a high volume/baffled gtr sump. Food for thought now anyway. I emailed hioctane - no response yet.

those sumps are for RB into BMW conversions to clear the bmw crossmember.. the pickup is also relocated to the rear of the sump.

it means we can have our own sump style to suit all rb20/25/26/30's with the small change to the sump ring to allow for the different oil pickup location on the rb26 block

No wonder i couldn't find it using the word "girdle" in the search. It's listed with a typo as a "gridle". Nor does it have the word sump in it anywhere.

This is it.

Although i've gone off the idea now anyway. I think a modded gtr sump for rwd with a tomei baffle will be fine for my intended purposes.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
