Hey everyone, 

noobie question.

if I get an AWD Rb25de for my RWD R33, I will need to modify the sump on the engine. 

I did research online and can’t find much however I do know I have to weld up the front axle holes in the sump.. is that all? 

Or is there an adapter plate I can just buy to bolt the rwd sump onto the engine with a AWD bolt pattern? 

Cheers everyone

Need new pick up.

ASR do a RWD sump for GTR motors and supply you with a new pick up.

I bought one for my AWD Neo motor going into a RWD land boat.

Well I finally found what I was looking for.

when Nissan produced the GTS4 (AWD), they manufactured the block with both sump patterns (AWD and RWD) is the rwd will bolt straight on with a tiny chop to the baffle or a new oil pickup. 

The original DE (GTS) was only manufactured with the RWD pattern, which is why you can buy add on plates to attach a AWD sump, but not a RWD plate because it’s not needed, it’s already there on the GTS4 block. 

 

I tried looking for aftermarket ones ones online but couldn’t find anything of internet unless it was a 7 grand complete dry kit, I’ve just left it be and decided to bolt on the rwd sump, if worse comes to worse and I’m completely wrong, I’ll just use the AWD sump and weld up the axle holes!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
