Take the 26 sump to a decent fabricator and ask him to cut the diff off it and weld it up. The 26 sump has quite a bit of strength to it. While they are at it put a decent extension on it to your oil side of things is sorted. If your in Sydney Performance Metalcraft know what to do with it :)

While the engine is out i would also put a decent oil pump on it so you dont have to worry about pulling it out again any time soon

The 25 sump and oil pan doesn't just fit straight on. There is some fabrication that needs to happen. After you bolt up the 25 oil pick up. The oil pan wont just go on. After you figure out how to get it on you will notice that the oil pan is hitting the base of the oil pickup. Then if you want you can grind the pickup base which I dont like to do because it can lead to oil problems later because of how much you have to grind off to fit the oil pan on the block. When I did it I simply modified the rb25 oil pan in that section. I heated it up and shaped the side in a round fashion to clear the oil pickup base. Then if I remember its still has one bolt I had to sacrifice which was no big deal as the sealant (silicone) took care of that.

What I would do if I did it again is as mentioned above use the 26 aluminum oil pan and cut the diff off and weld in parts that needs to be filled in.

Go on RaceFab and look at how they did it on there site. Or just buy one from them.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
