Hey.

I just bought a trust sump extension for an rb26dett and my aluminium welder has never done one before

Can anyone post up pics of the final installation and a few internal pics too to make things easier

Got the instructions and there all in japanese

Hope someone can help

I can help. hope he's cheaper than the bloke that welded mine! mine was done in japan and cost a farken bomb. :) It's very important though that it's done right, right angle, etc. right penetration, no leaks. it's not very trickey, but it is very important that it's done spot on. so much so that my tuning house building the motor sub contracted out the welding to a specialist.

Vince, if your in Sydney, Dart Automotive can help you.

They welded my Trust sump and several others for SAU members and did an excellent job.

Looking at getting one of these for my new baby and will be hitting the track soon. You guys recommend these? If so where's the best place to get them and what costs am I looking at roughly to get it installed?

install is an engine out job so prob not realistic until you have either stuffed the engine already or are taking it out to do a build

I have had the sump out without taking the Engine out before.

But yes..I agree it may be easier

I don't know how strongly I'd reccomend them. for one they have to be welded to your sump which is quite expensive. and is obviously irreversible. they are also a bit of a compromised design. they also protrude a little lower than I would like.

I chose the trust one as my engine was being built in japan and that is what they were comfortable/familiar with. if I were doing it here I would suggest looking at the hi-octane/hi-energy sump. looks very good and many people have had success with it here.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
