looks like a midified std sump, or try a local engenering work shop to mod yours.

Japanese performance cars are the fastest growing sector in the performance industry. Drifting has become very popular and Import Drag Racing is all the rage.

High Energy Oil Pans has now developed a number of specially designed oil pans for these import racers. We are now offering a range of designs for:

Holden/Nissan VL 3.0L oil pans (RB30)

Nissan Skyline Oil pans (RB20, RB25, RB26)

WRX (EJ20)

Honda etc.

Mazda Rotary

For more information [email protected]

Some quick questions that i asked High Energy and their response....

was just wondering the price of a sump for an r33 gtst rb25det? $600+gst for our Pro Eliminator

are these a c/o basis or buy outright?

Yes they are c/o pan and oil pickup

do they come with a modified pick-up?

Yes , mesh windage tray and x2 gates for better oil control on acceleration and braking.

what amount of oil do they hold?

6.5Litres

production lead time from date of order 2-3 weeks

hope this helps

To stop oil surge, probably while drifting - i'm unsure whether it's a problem with this motor, but it sounds like a better investment than a blowoff valve.

yes i want a baffled sump for a little extra assurance against oil starvation to the bottom end at high revs during hard cornering...

it's certainly not for drifting tho :P

Thanks for that link BU5TER.

there really is no point putting an aftermarket sump on ....just put an oil cooler on and see how much more oil it takes!

I have an oil cooler already, that cools the oil. Doesn't stop the oil pickup from not getting any oil though!

yep I've seen the UAS offering... it's larger capacity, but doesn't look like a baffled design.. thanks for the suggestion :P

I have never heard of an RB25 having dramas at the track. Merli tracked his old R33, which was internally std but with a HKS 3040 and Greddy plenum etc, AP 6 pots etc etc and making about 275rwkws with semi slicks. His car was punted regularly and never had starvation problems.

It would be added insurance...but really i see it as an extra initial expense, purchase + Labour. Then at $70 for 5L of Castrol, the cost of an oil change would soon get expensive, especially since i change my oil before every track day, even if that sump has only done o1 track day and 500kms of road use.

That said if you have the coin and already have all other basis covered, then do it....curious to know how much labour is involved to install?

just slap an extra litre in there before you go out  :)

I do not think you understand the concept of having the modified sump.

The extra capacity is there because it's a differnet size and can hold more oil before the level goes too high and starts becoming whipped up and airated by the crank, by adding more oil than is the maximum level on ANY engine that isn't dry sumped you will get air in the oil, and air in the oil going onto your bearings etc is bad.

The reason for the baffles etc is to stop the oil from getting away from the pickup, holding more oil is just a bonus of the system. By adding more oil to a stocker you arent getting the benifits of the modified sump.

BTW, after the track day where does this extra litre of oil you add go? Does it magically dissapear, burn, what? :(:P

  • Like 1

you pull out sump plug

you drain oil

you put sump plug back in

I thought it was basic (sorry for the sarcasm there, need a vent while @ work for another shift)

If there is more oil in there, there is less chance of it being somewhere other than where the pick-up is one would imagine

But really, i dont think even modded RB25 (as troy said) have problems with that.

I was told i wouldnt need it for my RB25 (plan was to see track but didnt sue to selling the motor... damned EPA)

And seeing a few RB25/30'also punted around in 33's without modded sumps also who dab an bit more oil in there is my reasoning.

My reason for bigger/baffeled sump is one of insurance, why spend 10g on a motors internals and not do your best to stop oil starvation and killing the motor (again).

Plus i have heard when using the N1 pump that you can actually empty the std sump very quickly.

Im making my sump myself with the help of an engenering mate and with oil cooler and larger filter should be pushing the capacity up around 8.5 - 9L

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
