Greddy/trust Sump Extension - Your Thoughts?


Recommended Posts

Did it properly.......

Sent my sump to NZ today to be sent back looking like below.

Looks like it should do the job. Holds about 9-9.5L.

PM me if anyone wants details. Basically cost me $800 including freight both ways. Only one I've seen with such good cooling fins.

Yep, Bob's got it right. Racefab in NZ. Awesome workmanship and Rob is a lovely guy to deal with.

Only drama I had was NZ Post lost my sump when I sent it over. It eventually turned up but took a while.

Good thing about custom is you can put as many different drain points, breathers whatever you like in.

I bought an engine that came with a Trust sump extension on it and they're crap, wouldn't even contemplate it nowadays!

Sorry to offend.....

When I say crap I mean collectively as a package I believe there are better options for not much more money. This is totally in my opinion based on having had both Trust and a modified sump, feel free to have your own.

My thoughts are why spend $450 on the Trust extension, plus another $250-300 (??) on getting a good welder to weld it on without warping the sump when for another $200-$400 you can get a fully custom sump with worthwhile volume gains and improvements to oil movement without lowering your ground clearance.

At the end of the day you choose what works best for you.

Yeah that is one thing i have to say is it does lower the ground clearance a little.

my car doesn't sit stupidly low so its ok but that is a good point if your a drifter or something with a car that sits on the sills then you could have an issue if you hit something solid haha.

I had a Trust sump and got rid of it for a Performance Metalcraft sump. Much larger capacity and and as has been said, no ground clearance issues. Given he motor is in an S14 it has massive clearance issues with the Trust extension. Leon at Performance Metalcraft was able to custom make the sump to my requirements and it fits like a glove

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
