okay while my 25-30 is being rebuild i thought it would be a good idea to put in a custom sump, with baffles, and a larger volume.

i can send it into adelaide and they modify it with a hi-energy sump but its 700bux. i wanted to make my own.

anyone have detailed pics of what theirs looks like or any advice in general would be greatly appreciated

thanx

nice sump mate, good to see rb30 in the states (dont forget to tell eveyone where the block cam from :D

got any pics of the baffles also.

the rb26 sump would need an extra mod to rid the front shafts- so thats one reason not to.

what sorta baffles do they have inside??

also wouldnt the stroke of the 30 hit the standard baffles on the sump??

Funny someone should mention this as im in the process of fabricating an ally dry sump pan at the moment. Different to a normal gated sump with extra capacity, just a very shallow pan with a few valleys for the two pickups for the pump. When i get closer to finishing it ill get a few shots of it and pop em up. At the moment ive only got the flange cut out, and other peoples paying jobs come first unfortunately. If only there were more hours in the day :D

Not sure about the stroke, someone will know that

Yeah, its no big drama to remove the front diff.

Mine was done in that manner.

When 350-400rwkw GTRs run around here in melb with the stock sump on semi's...

That kinda tells me the stock sump works quite well and would be good for 99% of setups out there

Im with Nismoid. Why bother with a big dollar or even custom sump when the OEM item with the diff removed and baffles fitted with sufice perfectly.

If you fit an oil cooler you have increased the volume slightly and honestly if your going all out ditch the sump and use a dry set-up straight up.

Greg's S15 with the RB26 fitted runs a factory sump and has no issues whats so ever and Id garantee it takes a lot more circuit abuse than 90% of the other cars getting around.

From cubes DOHC guide: Grind off the RB20/25/26 fins towards the back of the sump, the rb30 crank and rods have a longer throw and will foul. The RB30 sump has no clearance issues in the R32/33 Skylines.

My car has the standard RB26 sump with a tomei sump baffle in it and no issues to date what so ever with oil pickup.

Have included some random pics I have on my computer of a custom sump for an RB, I like the design of this one....

Dave you have any form of aftermarket sump baffles fitted???

We run tomei baffles in all of out RB26's and never have any problem with surging. Ive got guage in my GTR and after 100's of wakfield laps, oran park and eastern creek laps Ive not once seen a fluctuation in oil pressure.

I usualy over fill by a litre anyways but only because the thing still leaks out the crank seal when it gets really hot.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
