Racefab Oil Pans.


Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried an extended rb26 oil pan from Rob at RaceFab.

I just paid for one and was wondering what you guys think about it. Here in the USA we have team Raw Brokerage that builds oil pans for rb26. But like kyle from 6 Boost I thought I would trust in Rob to build a good unit for me. In doing so I can garranty sales from the USA and Caribbean countries either through me or direct.

Any comparisons would be helpful until I receive my unit. After arrival in take close photos of both and we all can make comparisons.

I use one of these from Performance Metalcraft in Rydalmere. I dont know what they retail for but they can be made to whatever spec you want. Ours is a 2WD so the diff is removed and holes plugged

and most of them leak due to using a porous alloy

Call asr directly skipping out the middle man and you'll save quite a bit, my race pan was about 250 cheaper than what most people advertise them for

Surely someone has used a Lewis Engines sump before?

They're very well priced as well compared to the rips stuff which is bs expensive Imo

I have one, looks the goods but the car isn't running just yet.

not this one mate, Leon has been making them for years, ours has been on the car for years, and not one drop of oil has seeped through it ;)

I've got one. As per DCEIVE I haven't used it yet but it's a brilliantly made piece of kit.

Rob is a top bloke and easy to deal with.

The $150 each way in freight for a big heavy bulky sump is a killer but still a lot cheaper than anything locally (unfortunately).

Rob can build it exactly how you want it. I added numerous -10 fittings and an external oil pick up. The welds are AMAZINGLY good.

Yes Rob sent me a photo of the one he build for me. It looks great and can't wait to see it in person. If I'm happy with the work I'm sure I'll buy another and a friend of mine wants one for his r32 gtr

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
