RB26 sump - remove the diff, a decent fabricator should be able to do this quite easily.

The 26 sump gives support to the block, the 25 sump etc is very very thin.

Go with what Nissan designed :P

don't have one. don't wana buy one. heaps of people have used the 20/25/30 sumps, just wana know wat combination is best. as much as i'd like to use a 26 one. it'd cost to much to do. a; the purchase.. and then b; the mods and cost of welding. anyone heard or seen anything about the highenergy sumps?

have ya looked at what bolts the sump to the enging buddy? it aint no m6 bolts dude :P and you will notice the BLANKED OFF oil pick up in the block. (corect me if im wrong,there are tapped hols but thats it yes?)

USE A GTR SUMP WITH NO DIFF

and ps.. hi energy sump is shit and fowls on the swaybar :ermm:

everyone is on a budget smartass. i never said i wanted to use the high energy sump. i was asking if anyone has heard anything about em, this is a forum isn't it? a place were you ask shit. everyone on here is trying to do shit to a budget, the cheaper the better. sorry i asked.

Now now.

IMO you do not undertake a RB26 conversion with a tight budget. Its simply not possible to do well.

Especially if your going to chase 300-350rwkw out of the thing on a stock bottom end.

Small things like replacing hoses, clamps etc etc. These things alone cost enough let alone the bolt ons :cheers:

And look, $350 for a sump, cheap as chips.

hey mate

Ive got a modified rb20 sump on my 26 (well one of the rwd sumps). It has been bashed out to clear the rb26 oil pickup but is otherwise standard. It surges HARD on acceleration (300rwkw) and not so badly under brakes, even with 0.5L overfill. Having looked at hi-energy I decided against going down that road. Only other solution I could find was to modify a GTR sump to fit... it was a pain getting a complete sump (couldnt find a stock baffle so stuck with a tomei baffle) and currently a mate is doing the required mods plus winging it to increase capacity and hopefully help combat surge

Basically your best and prob simplest option is to use a modded GTR sump. Attached is the last one the guys did.

hey man,

i understand what u mean by budget. I think they are just misunderstanding what you are saying and assuming you're on a 'tight' budget. Which is totally different to shopping around for the best price (I see alot of people on SAU, getting pinged for being cheap, when simply doing thier h/w on prices.)

Also i couldnt see anywhere in your post about you mentioning you were chasing 300-350rwkw? unless you mentioned that in another topic, i must just be blind.

Anyway,

I don't know where your located but if your in Adelaide i have a rb25det AWD sump from a stagea you can have for $150, Then you can do as NIZMOID said an get it custom fab'd. Throw me a PM if your keen.

If not, then all the best with finding a suitable product.

Cheers

absolutely nothing wrong with a HE sump, been used and proven in circuit racing with no problems whatsoever. No surging, they increase oil capacity by atleast 3 litres over standard. Only problem is they do foul on the standard sway bar and they cost abit too for a modified second hand sump.

If the swaybar is a problem, its just a matter of contacting Sydneykid about one, as i know for a fact there are modified swaybars available for r32 and r33's to accomodate the High energy sump. May not be relevant to this thread, but may help others who are in need.

But a modified rb26 sump for 350 is pretty good. Worth looking at definietely.

Best bet is to use the Rb26 sump, they can be sourced nearly anywhere and i think i paid 100 for mine with a noisy diff. simple enough to remove the diff yourself and the thing is bullet proof... im not a fan of the steel sumps ive seen around the traps and the adapter plates ive seen are a waste of cash. Our car sits on 7k for ages and with simple bolt in baffles has proved very reliable and the whole lot owes me bugger all... far less than a high energy one thats for sure.

sounds good!! yes the alloy sump is the only way. not only for reliability but thats all that bolts up im pretty sure. and being the smartass that i am. its better to do it PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME than pay for 2 rb26's :rolleyes:

yay! there are normal people on here... looks like i'll try and use a gtr sump then. i was basically asking what the best cheapest setup is to use... why spend money when you don't have to? right? i don't expect to make upto 350rwkw on a standard bottom end. i expect to make more with an aftermarket bottom end :rolleyes: and 20/25 sumps do bolt on to4gtr but like someone else said you need to slightly massage the sump in some areas.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
