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

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

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
