Today my mate bought an s13 with an rb25de neo motor in it, and what I'm guessing a 34 manual box, 4 hours into ownership, the unbelievably low s13 with badly setup coilovers bottomed out, denting in the sump and leaving a gaping hole in it! Luckily we noticed before the motor spun a bearing or anything, so with all the bad news I guess that's the good news, my question is, how hard is it to change the sump in an s13, I'm guessing it's gunna be a pain, but has anyone got any pointers from experience, the idea is to jack the motor up so we can get the cross member off and get to the sump without pulling the motor out, any advice? Or anyone who's done this before would be much appreciated!!! Heartbreaking for my friend, and we wanna fix this problem immediately, going to get a stock 25 sump ( that's what it has now) and gasket tomorrow, just putting it in is the pain. Once again any advice would be much appreciated

Get a Custom bash plate made up to protect your sump and sway bars like this 180SX with RB25DET:

Or be normal and dont have it that low lol.

Either way good luck with your problem.

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
