Hey all.

Looking at new sump for my 25/30. Its going into an R31. Will i have any clearance issues with swaybar/crossmember and the like if i get one of these enlargened sumps.

Are the RB30 sumps the same for both the VL and R31 RB30's?

Thanks for any assistance,

Chris

the hi energy sumps will not fit any jap stuff only 30,s in vl,s. sad but true... we learnt the hard way two year ago and now manufacture our own that will fit all cefiro, 180, silvia and all skylines.

They do fit, they only reason they didn't fit was because they hit the swaybar (have an older style at the workshop that's going in a commodore) but High Energy informed me that ALL the RB sumps they now do cater for the swaybar in skylines etc.

My sump is slightly on the backburner due to exhaust manifold issues, but I will post up for the whole world to see just exactly how it will fit :)

i need a sump to fit a 180? does anyone know if the HE sumps will fit in no dramas? lewis engines, i checked your website and you have no information about any sumps on RB's??? only CA's...

update soon?

Don't really want to chop the front of my sump, rather it fit up all nice :P

my he sump has a angle on the fornt of it and it still hits in my s15, rb26... so no it wont fit... i have to get made up a custom sway bar

heres an HE one i welded some fittings on and coated up

Turbo side didnt have enough room onto of the extension for the fitting so the return to sump went on the side, the catch can return on intake side is sitting ontop of extension

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
