Hello guys,

i think some of you know High Energy sumps for our RB25DET engines, i would really like to get a PRO CIRCUIT LARGER CAPACITY SUMP with 8.5l capacity.

However i think it seems nearly impossible for me to get this item, let me explain why.

First off, i discovered this sump at uniqueautosports.com, i think i wrote them already about 5 emails that i really would like to buy

a sump, however no one replied to me unfortunately. :D

My next station was justjap.com i wrote two emails to them which wasn't answered, then contacted Steve from justjap.com here by a private message who told me to place an order by email what i did and which wasn't replied again. :(:down:

At this point of time i started realizing that these shops dont want to make money or the dont want to hassle arround with High Energy Sumps as they can't earn much on them or whatever. :ermm:

After that disappoinment i tried to contact High Energy ( highenergy.com.au) directly by email twice and wanted to place an order with them, however there was no one replying again. :down::down::down:

My last station was etperformance.com.au, i did also wrote two emails to them that i really would like to order one sump, but again no one answered me. :ninja:

So whats wrong with all those shops ? Why is no one wanting to sell me a sump ? I have already a good sump waiting in australia for exchange.

Did some of you guys had the same experience ? Where did you get your High Energy Sumps from ?

The problem for me is that my engine is nearly finished and i would like to install a bigger sump before putting the engine in the car, so i need such a sump as soon as possible.

I would be very thankful if you guys could help me.

Here's a picture of what i'm trying to get for about half a year.

I got mine through Darron @ JustJap... they were on back order so it took a few weeks

ps. they don't make the 8.5L for the RB25... you will need it made custom... I have the 6.5L and Al on here has a 7L but his was fouling on the swaybar... 8.5L would be a stretch I reckon

EDIT: just realised your 25 is in an S13... you will have even less room for a big sump

When we need a HE sump, I always have to send them a standard one to upgrade. I find the telephone is a good communication device, much more reliable than email.

BTW, we make swaybars to clear HE sumps in most applications, PM me for details.

ET Performance Products and High Energy are exactly the same company. I have an 8.5L gated and baffled Pro Bracket sump pan from them and they couldn't have been any easier to deal with over the phone.

Call them, speak to them and have no problems. It's pretty simple.

What is so hard about picking up the phone and calling?

When I spoke to High Energy via PHONE they were more then helpful for me!

You call them. Tell them what you want. Send your sump to them and let them sort the rest out.

I have also found many companies in the auto industry are shithouse when you contact them via email.

IMO they shouldn't have an email address if they're not going to use it, but once you know the phone is better you don't bother emailing..

sounds like he's not in oz judging by the comment 'i have a sump waiting in australia'

had similar problems buying various items from shops in oz, in almost all cases it works out easier making it yourself or buying from japan or the us

best of luck

That's right, the RB25DET will move into my S13. However i have already special made brackets which are relocating the sway bar lower, so it will at least clear the oem RB25 sump.

So the custom 8.5l sump is ~ 100,00 AUSD more expensive then the 6.5l one but i could still order it ?.

As i'm actually located in germany i'm trying to get parts from abroad always by email first, not by phone.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
