Hey guys

looked under my car after i have put the engine back in and found that the sump is dented.. see pic.

Just wondering if the pick up would be damaged with this size dent. The lifters sounded a bit noisy too which i think would indicate oil starvation at the top end.

I figure i have to get this sump off.. i have a spare block with a pick up and spare sump on it so it can be changed.. just some advice would be great

thanks guys

that is the deepest part of the sump, but your oil pick up should be fine but it will still need to be fixed as it will be very close to the bottom of the sump now.

have a read of this thread, its got some detail on how to do it:

It shouldnt affect your dipsitck. If it was that bad then your engine wouldnt be alive right now

Hard to say man, as said above watch oil pressure if you can

A friend had a similar bump on a CA and we went to all the effort of dropping the xmember slightly to get the sump off and there was still a good 2-3mm of clearance.

If your like me and have nothing better to do on the weekend then why the hell not though ^_^

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
