hey guys, ive seen these high energy sumps for sale and was wondering if it really is worth it. if youve seen any of my other topics you would know im building up a 25/26 aiming for 500rwhp. ive done all the other oil control mods there is to do and my car will be seeing the track every now and then. is it worth the extra $800 or just stick with the standard option? thanks.

I've got one... just the standard street/circuit 6.5L... or there are a few companies around that will take your existing one and modify it but I wouldn't expect much change from $800... for that power level I would be looking at some kind of baffling just for peace of mind... you will probably see some oil surge under acceleration and braking if you are planning on using sticky tires...

or you could just get a BIG oil cooler and overfill the oil a little but for the money you have already spent you may as well do it all

rang up high energy today, far bit cheaper for trade so was happy about that. only thing was they were trying to upsell me to the circuit pan over the pro eliminator lol im only goin to be doing sprints and a bit of drift maybe 5 times a year, and its about $300 difference. the main diff is it has gates on the sides aswell as front and rear to help in cornering where the pro elim only has them front and rear. not to keen on spending so much on a pan, reckon its worth it or just stick with the cheaper pro eliminator, cheers.

Look at it this way what did your engine cost to build? Don't mean to be smart

but a few extra dollars today can save you BIG dollars down the track lets

face it do it once and do it right.An example for you on the week end my mates

highly tuned GTR 30/26 combo was loseing oil preasure when turning around

courners even with a sump baffle I guess it wasn't a top of the line model one.

With a engine with well known oil problems its well worth a over kill in this area.

At the end of the day you want many years of trouble free driving,good luck with it

If your interested we do high capacity 2wd drift/drag/track sumps for RB25 or RB26 with baffles, surge tank and breather tubes etc, nzd750+shipping so it would be about au700-720 delivered depending on exchange rate.

We use them on drift, track and drag cars and we've never had a run bearing.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
