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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
