Browsing through the Spool Website I found a few High volume sumps for RB25 and RB30, does anyone have more info on them, how big they actually are and if there's any internal baffling? the site doesnt give too much away and only has two photos at the moment. Ive emailed them but still awaiting a reply. http://www.spoolimports.com/content/RB30an...VolumeSumps.asp

Received a reply:

The sumps use the std pickup – they are no lower than the OEM sump so there are no clearance problems. They are just a bigger capacity sump with modified and enlarged sides. They fit all R32 GTS RB20, R33 GTST RB25 and VL RB30 etc.

I wonder if they're worth it for the $420?

Not sure I am a fan of the weld quality around the extension where it meets the sump.

For not a lot more you could get the Trust sump extension which includes a modified pickup, or spend $900 or so and get one of the ASR/High Energy straight replacement sumps.

I have one of these sumps.

It is exactly as pictured. Has trapdoors, baffling etc. The quality is amazing.

Very good for the money...

Only thing is when ordering mine, I was the only one to recieve this style sump. About half a dozen other people here just recieved the standard sump with a box welded on. I'm not sure why this happened, but I love it anyways.

Who is rob and what/where is sabbadin? Sounds like a raghead temple!

I just looked at the link and it shows photos of the doors and whatnot inside. Looks the goods! That sump with an accusump and you will have a bullet proof oiling system, or as close as it gets in a wetsump system.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
