Hey guys.

Ive just finished doing a RB25det conversion on my R32 GTS4, and i have the old RB20det sitting in my shed. Now that my car is pretty much finished i plan on rebuilding the 20 myself as a side project and learning curve. Only thing is i dont want to run AWD on this engine (no torque + AWD sucks).

Now i know there is a thread around here somewhere concluding the difference between the AWD and 2WD sump differences as ive seen it before. but searched before and couldnt find it?

So my questions are;

- although im pretty sure the bolt patterns are different between the 2 sumps (AWD & 2WD) can someone confirm this?

- Are the RB26dett sump bolt patterns the same as the 20 and 25 patterns? if so ill just locate an aftermarket TRUST RWD sump that alot of 26's are using these days

Cheers

yes they are the same as ive put a rb20det sump on a rb26dett but u will need to mod the sump as the rb20/26 4wd blocks run the oil pick up in a different location to the rwd ones

so the side of the rwd rb20 sump will foul on the oil pick up and no u just cant tap the oil pick up over

the easyist way to do it is do remove the front diff and shafts out of the 4wd sump and get them welded up

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
