You can use the RB25 (or maybe it was RB30) sump

User: Fatz did it a couple years back, maybe dropping him a PM?

However if you can use the 26 one, do so.

Stock/diff removed sump is by far the best way to go about it.

I know it's been quite a while since this thread was active. I did a search under drivetrain for anything RB26 related to find out what is out there for the sump issue when making it into a RWD setup.

So far this is the closest thread. I've seen some pictures of a modified 26 sump that was made in Aus. for a RWD application. I was wondering if there were any dimensions or specifics that could be passed on. Or someone or a company out there that makes them. I really dont want to do a RB25 sump and modify that one personally.

Thanks in advance.

rb 25 and 30 sump needs work for them to fit baffles and pannel beating for oil pickup pipe..

rb26 is much stonger but needs cutting and welding I used the 26 on my conversion..

If you supply the 26 sump I can get it modded and welded for $300

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
