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 ^_^

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
