what oil restrictor you running? we run a 1mm and a tomei baffle (and twin oil coolers) with no issues in our drift car which see's 8000rpm for long periods of time.. that high octane sump was on the cards but requires to many mods to clear the sway bar setup in our car tis a real nice piece of gear

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

would like to see pics please, showing clearence while on the motor in the car... if possible lol

Ok will take some snaps in the next day or so.

And running a 1mm restrictor on the new engine which was startred for the first time wednesday so will be a few weeks before we get on the track in anger. Still have not found the reason for engine failure yet so it a slowly slowly approach.

Its a time consuming job to work out the mounting and cutting out the sump to fit it but good news its quite good quality cast alloy so it welded up a treat. Recomend that you bolt the sump to and engine block while its welded and let it cool before removing it so it dont warp. Mine came out perfectly no twisting or leaks yet

would it be possible for you to take some pics of with rulers in different position to show where approximatly you have placed the sump on the factory one?

[tacker]

ok no pics yet but if you line the rear section of sump extension up with the inbuilt diff housing not the cover you will be ok.

Try for some pics tomorrow.

Hey Andrew, that's the same Sump Extension I have in my GTR should do the job for you know drama, your using it primarily as a track toy right?

How's the build coming along? And the M? Latest news is Motorsport have got the parts to make the gears and are manufacturing them, availability is scheduled for end of May/ June.

I see the HiOctane ones are cast aluminium now, that would sure save Leon time on the welder.

yes, but up until just recently these were a welded sheet aluminium box. Now its appears to be cast aluminium/alloy.

did you note how it has the boss for the oil drain cast into it...noice eh

[Beer Baron]

yeah it's pretty cool. you mean the one it has on the top right, for the external oil return?

wanna swap dirtgarage? you don't need a nice highenergy one for drag. the trust one I have will be perfect for that!

edit:

fk it, since we are all gathered here today, I may as well whore a few pics of my sump. not as nice as merlins fancy one but still pretty decent.

Hey Ben,

Yep, the only road use this car will see is on its way to and from the various racetracks

Build is getting there! The entire car is stripped at the moment, and waiting for its date with Bond Roll Bars Then comes paint, and then I can start driving it! Brakes and suspension will be coming shortly after... They are both jaw droppingly expensive It seems that any parts for cars with GTR or M automatically have a 100% markup :laughing-smiley-014:
